Bookkeeping for Frankston businesses

Construction, followed by health and social assistance providers, takes the lead among the industries charted below, each counted across the ABS areas the figure spells out, so the books range from trade job costs to money paid by patients and other payers. Whichever it is, we do the books inside the subscription the business already holds, be that Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, then close the month with reconciliations done and unpaid invoices ranked oldest to newest.

The ABS counts businesses and people by Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), not by suburb. These SA2s take in land outside the suburb, and part of the suburb lies in other SA2s.

How we serve Frankston businesses

  • Patients and other payers, kept straight

    For health and care businesses, each amount received, whether from the patient or another payer, is posted against its invoice, leaving the balance owing visible.

  • Card takings traced to the till

    Retail takings paid by card land as settlements, often bundled across several days. We trace each settlement to the sales behind it, so fees and short amounts show up.

  • Margins checked before the final invoice

    Trade and building bills are coded to their job, where the software allows, so a job's margin can be checked before its last invoice goes out.

What Frankston business owners ask

Do the figures describe the suburb exactly?
Not exactly. Business and population numbers from the ABS come out by Statistical Area Level 2, with no suburb breakdown, so the SA2s behind each figure are named alongside it.
We run a clinic with patients and other payers. How do payments get recorded?
Every receipt is posted to the invoice it pays, whichever payer it came from, and anything left unpaid stays on the aged list for follow-up.
We're a trade business with several jobs on the go. What do you track?
Supplier bills, progress invoices and the payments against them, job by job where your software tracks jobs, plus a monthly comparison of supplier statements with your bills.
Will you use our current software?
We will, as long as it's Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. Nothing needs converting, because the bookkeeping happens in your existing setup.
How does it start?
Message us from the contact page. Say which package you use, what accounts it holds and roughly how many months need catching up, and you'll get a quote to consider before anything begins.
