Bookkeeping for Nerang businesses

Construction sits highest on the industry chart below, whose numbers come from the ABS areas each figure names, and a tradie's ledger has supplier accounts, part-finished jobs and progress invoices all running side by side. Our bookkeeping happens inside an accounting file the business owns, be it Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, and month end brings a clear view of which jobs still have money owing and how old each debt is.

How we serve Nerang businesses

  • Materials bills coded to the right job

    Each supplier bill lands on the job whose materials it covers, and each progress invoice on the job it bills, wherever your software offers job or tracking options.

  • Who owes what, and since when

    Come month end, outstanding invoices are bucketed by age, with the customer and job printed beside each.

  • Ute, truck and plant loans reconciled

    Finance on utes, trucks and plant, plus the business credit cards, is reconciled to each lender's statement in step with the everyday transaction account.

What Nerang business owners ask

Is the suburb itself the area behind these figures?
The figures follow ABS geography rather than suburb names. The ABS doesn't release business counts or population estimates suburb by suburb; it works in Statistical Areas Level 2, so every figure is tagged with the SA2s it was drawn from.
Our materials come from a handful of trade accounts. How do you check them?
Monthly, each trade account's statement is set beside the bills we've entered. Credits for returned materials are matched to the bills they apply to, and any gap is raised with you.
Our delivery trucks rack up their own costs. Can we see them per vehicle?
Yes, as long as the file has tracking categories or classes turned on. Servicing, tyres, insurance and finance repayments are tagged to each truck, and freight invoices are matched to whoever pays them.
Can you use the software we're already paying for?
Yes, so long as the package is Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. Your current file is where we work, so job lists, contacts and past records remain intact.
Where do we start?
Pop your details into the contact page: the package you run, the accounts the business holds and roughly where the books are up to. We send a quote and wait for your go-ahead before starting.
