Bookkeeping for Brendale businesses

Within the ABS area these figures are drawn from, the industry chart below has construction in front and rental, hiring and real estate services behind it, and a tradie's ledger juggles supplier accounts, materials bought for particular jobs and progress invoices. Where your software tracks jobs, we tag those costs job by job in the ledger you already keep, Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, so each job's margin shows clearly.

How we serve Brendale businesses

  • Materials and hire charged to jobs

    If job tracking is on in your software, materials, equipment hire and similar costs carry the job number from the bill they arrived on.

  • Trade accounts checked against statements

    Each month your trade supplier statements are checked against the bills on file, and missing invoices or unapplied credits are chased up.

  • Stock and materials for the workshop

    For workshops and manufacturers, each purchase of stock or raw materials goes in when its bill arrives, and closing stock is recorded at the value your accountant gives us.

What Brendale business owners ask

Why does this page use SA2 figures instead of the suburb's own?
Because the ABS doesn't count businesses or estimate population suburb by suburb. Both are released as Statistical Areas Level 2 data, the areas known as SA2s, and each figure on this page lists the SA2s it covers.
We run a workshop and buy materials in bulk. How is stock handled?
We record each purchase from the supplier's bill and keep the stock accounts in line with the counts you give us. Year-end stock values are entered the way your accountant sets them.
We send progress invoices on bigger jobs. Can you follow those up?
Yes. Where job tracking is on, every progress invoice sits under its job in the ledger, receipts are applied as they come in and an aged list of unpaid invoices reaches you at month end, so you know which claims to chase.
Do we have to switch software?
Not if you run Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, since we take over the bookkeeping in your current file and leave bank feeds, history and contacts as they are.
How would we kick things off?
Drop us a line via the contact page listing your software, the accounts and cards it holds, plus the last month that's fully entered. We price the job from that, and you'll see the quote before anything starts.
