Bookkeeping for Dandenong businesses

Freight and logistics firms stand out among the industries charted below for the ABS area each figure names: transport, postal and warehousing sits on top, with construction next, and a carrier's books often receive remittances that settle a batch of freight invoices in a single payment. We match each remittance to the invoices it pays in the business's own copy of Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, so a short payment is easy to spot.

How we serve Dandenong businesses

  • Remittances matched to freight invoices

    When a customer pays a batch of invoices together, we apply the payment to each invoice listed on the remittance and show you any left short.

  • Truck and van costs kept apart

    If your software can track them, each truck or van gets its own line for registration, insurance, repairs, tyres and tolls, and the totals show what it takes to keep that vehicle on the road.

  • Equipment finance reconciled

    Truck and equipment loans are reconciled to the lender's statements, and any gap between your books and the lender's balance is listed with its cause where we can find it.

What Dandenong business owners ask

Why are the figures for an SA2 and not the suburb itself?
Suburbs aren't a unit the ABS reports on. Its business numbers and population estimates come out by Statistical Areas Level 2, which don't follow suburb lines, and every figure is labelled with the SA2s it uses.
We run several trucks. Can costs be shown truck by truck?
Yes, where your software supports tracking categories, classes or jobs. Repairs, tyres, registration and insurance are coded to the vehicle named on the bill, so each truck shows its own running costs.
Some customers pay us through a freight platform. Can you match those payouts?
Yes. We use the platform's payout report to match each settlement to the jobs or invoices it covers, and any fees it takes out go in as your accountant specifies.
Do Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks all suit you?
All of them do. Your existing file stays the working file, so bank feeds, contacts and history stay put.
What's the next step?
Use the form on the contact page to name the software you're on, give a rough list of your accounts and cards and say how far the books are up to date. A quote follows before any work starts.
