Questions from Victor Harbor business owners

I invoice clients myself. What's left for a bookkeeper to do?
Quite a lot. We match client payments to their invoices, reconcile your bank and card accounts to their statements, and enter the bills you pay. The file is left current each month, so you can see what's outstanding at a glance.
Why do the figures seem to describe more than the town?
The ABS counts an urban area that takes in more than the town centre, and the population and business figures on this page are for that whole area. The sources at the foot of the page set out each figure and its date.
Do you work with practitioners in health care?
Yes. Practitioners working for themselves need much the same bookkeeping as consultants: fees invoiced, payments matched when they arrive, and practice costs entered as bills. Health Care and Social Assistance is among the larger groups in the chart on this page.
How do you price the work?
By the volume of invoices, bills and bank transactions, and by how up to date the file is. You get a quote before work starts.
How do we begin?
Use the contact page to tell us your software and roughly how much goes through the books. We'll send a quote, and once you accept it, you give us access to the file.
