Bookkeeping for Caulfield businesses

Covering the ABS geography printed beside each figure, the industry chart below lists rental, hiring and real estate services ahead of the rest, and a landlord's ledger has to keep rent and owners corporation levies apart for every address. We maintain those records in a file the business itself owns, be that Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, reconciling monthly so, where your software tags property, the income and outgoings of any property can be pulled up whenever you ask.

The ABS counts businesses and people by Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), not by suburb. This SA2 takes in land outside the suburb as well as all of it.

How we serve Caulfield businesses

  • Rent and levies kept per address

    Rent receipts, plus bills for owners corporation levies, rates or repairs, carry the address they concern, wherever the software has property or class tags.

  • Clinic receipts set against invoices

    Receipts from patients, and remittances from other payers, are applied to the right invoices, and part-paid accounts are flagged for follow-up.

  • Card terminal deposits traced

    Every payout from your card terminal or payment platform is paired with the day's sales it covers, and the fees the provider keeps go on their own line.

Services for Caulfield businesses

What Caulfield business owners ask

I expected the suburb's name. Why do the figures show SA2 names?
SA2s, short for Statistical Areas Level 2, are the units the ABS uses when it publishes business counts and population estimates; suburbs aren't. Every figure on the page therefore names the SA2s behind it.
Our company holds several rental properties. Can each be reported separately?
Yes, if the software is set up for property or class tracking. Rent and costs then carry an address, and a report can lay the properties out side by side.
Patients settle some of our accounts and other payers settle the rest. Can you follow both?
Yes. Each receipt, whoever sent it, is matched up with the invoice it clears, and short or missing payments are flagged so you can chase them.
Will you use the package we're on now?
Yes. We handle Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks files equally. We're given a login to the file you already run, so your contacts and history don't move.
How do we begin?
Reach out on the contact page, telling us your software's name, the accounts in use and the last month you reconciled. You'll see a quote ahead of the work itself.
