Bookkeeping for Yeppoon businesses

The figures for Yeppoon businesses show a rising population and an industry chart that mixes construction, property, professional services and the other services trades. Owners who have kept their own books as the work grew can hand the monthly bookkeeping to us, in the Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks file they already use.

How we serve Yeppoon businesses

  • Taking over books you've kept

    We start by reviewing what's in your file: which accounts are reconciled, which bills are entered and where the gaps are. Then we fill those gaps and keep going each month.

  • No new system to learn

    Your file stays in the software you know. You can keep raising invoices the way you do now while we look after the reconciliation behind them.

  • Professional and service work

    For professional firms and the repair and personal service trades in the other services group, we record supplier bills and customer payments and reconcile the bank, keeping the records current between jobs.

Questions Yeppoon business owners ask

I've been doing the books myself. Will you redo everything?
No. We check your recent work against the bank statements and correct what needs it. Records that already reconcile stay as they are.
How much of my time will the bookkeeping need?
Mainly the time it takes to forward bills and answer our questions about transactions the statements don't explain. The rest happens in your file without you.
What changes for the people who already use my file?
Very little. Your accountant keeps doing their own work for you. We keep the books current in the shared Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks file, so what they open is up to date.
What does the population figure cover?
The ABS Significant Urban Area, which takes in the built-up area and can stretch past the town centre. The period the growth figure covers is given with its source at the foot of the page.
How is the price set?
From what the file needs: the accounts to reconcile, the monthly volume and any gaps to close. We quote before work starts.
