Bookkeeping for Point Cook businesses

Top place among the industries charted below, drawn up for the ABS areas each figure names, goes to professional, scientific and technical services, followed by transport, postal and warehousing, and a courier's income often arrives as platform payouts bundling many deliveries together. Working through the login you already hold for Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, each payout is checked against the platform's statement and its fees posted on lines of their own, so a month's earnings read plainly.

How we serve Point Cook businesses

  • Platform payouts traced

    Payouts from delivery and freight platforms are checked against the platform's own statement, so the fees it shows are recorded and every deposit can be traced.

  • Running costs per vehicle

    Tolls, tyres, servicing and repairs are coded to the van or truck concerned, where the software can track that, so its running cost is clear.

  • Aged list of unpaid invoices

    Consultancies and technical firms billing hourly or per project receive a monthly aged list of unpaid invoices, so overdue clients can be followed up.

Services for Point Cook businesses

What Point Cook business owners ask

We drive for several delivery platforms. Can you keep them apart?
Yes. Every platform gets its own income account or tracking category, showing what it paid and what it took in fees.
Our consultancy bills in project stages. How is that recorded?
Each stage invoice is recorded on issue and matched to the client's payment. Work done but not yet billed is noted as your accountant specifies.
Which areas do the figures cover?
Only those the ABS publishes for. Its estimates of population, like its business counts, come out across Statistical Areas Level 2, called SA2s, not by suburb, and every figure shows which SA2s supplied it.
Is it Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks you work in?
Any of them. We sign in to your existing file, so records, history and reports remain in place.
Where do we start?
Begin at the contact page: name your software, list the banks and cards it's connected to and say how current the reconciliations are. If they're behind, we'll explain how we'd catch them up, and the quote comes before any work.
