How we serve Bairnsdale businesses

  • Receipts captured as you go

    Photograph a receipt or forward a bill by email and it lands in your file. When we reconcile, we attach it to the matching bank transaction, so the paperwork and the payment stay together.

  • Invoices raised for finished work

    If invoicing falls behind, we can raise invoices in your software from the job details you send, so finished work gets billed.

  • Bank and card accounts reconciled

    Each account is reconciled to its statement monthly. Payments are matched to the bills and invoices they settle, and transfers between your own accounts are matched on both sides.

What Bairnsdale business owners ask

How do I get receipts to you?
Photograph them on your phone or forward them by email. Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks each have a way to capture receipts, and each image is kept with the payment it belongs to.
Our invoicing is behind. Can you help?
Yes. Send us the job details and we'll raise the invoices in your software, in your business's name. Each is then tracked until it's paid, and the aged list shows anything still outstanding.
How wide an area do the figures take in?
The ABS Significant Urban Area, the boundary the ABS uses for its urban population counts. It can cover more ground than the town centre, and the business counts use it too.
Do you work with health care and farm businesses as well as trades?
Yes. Health care and agriculture both appear among the larger groups on the industry chart, and their books get the same treatment: accounts reconciled to statements, bills and invoices kept current, reports ready for your accountant.
How much will it cost?
That depends on how much paperwork comes through each month and how current the file is now. We look at both and quote before work starts.
