Bookkeeping for Balcatta businesses

Built on the ABS geography each figure's label gives, the industry chart below shows construction on top, and trade firms of that kind run accounts with several suppliers whose statements need checking against the bills. We do the bookkeeping inside the business's Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks file, which stays yours, and close each month with a list of supplier bills due and customer invoices running late.

How we serve Balcatta businesses

  • Trade supplier accounts reconciled

    Statements from your trade accounts are worked through against the bills and credits we've posted, so a missed credit or a duplicated bill shows up before you pay.

  • Bills entered with their due dates

    Supplier bills go in as they arrive, each with its due date, so you can see from week to week what has to be paid and when.

  • Customer invoices chased by age

    Unpaid customer invoices are sorted from oldest to newest, with the job reference next to each so follow-up calls are quick to make.

What Balcatta business owners ask

Which patch of ground do these numbers describe?
The SA2s named in each figure's label. The ABS doesn't cut its business and population data to suburb lines; it reports them at the level of Statistical Areas Level 2.
We have several jobs on the go. Can costs be split by job?
Yes. Where jobs, projects or tracking categories are switched on in your software, bills for materials and hire go to the job they were bought for, and progress invoices to the job they bill.
We run delivery vans as well. Can their costs be kept apart?
Yes. Repairs, insurance and finance for each van can be tracked separately where your software has classes or tracking categories, and each delivery invoice is paired with the customer's payment.
Is our current software suitable?
If you use Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, it is. We work in the file you've already got rather than moving you, so past records stay put.
What do you need to give us a quote?
Send a short note from the contact page covering your software, the bank, card and loan accounts in the business's name and roughly when they were last reconciled. The quote comes before any work does.
