Bookkeeping questions

What does a bookkeeper do each month?
Records the month's transactions, reconciles your bank, card and loan accounts, enters supplier bills, matches customer payments to invoices and prepares your monthly reports.
Can you help businesses anywhere in Australia?
Yes. We work in your cloud accounting software, so we can look after businesses anywhere in Australia.
What if my books are already behind?
We bring them up to date first. Catch-up bookkeeping fills in the missing months, then the monthly routine keeps them current.
What do you need from me each month?
Access to your accounting software and its bank feeds, plus receipts and bills for anything the feeds don't show. When a transaction needs explaining, we'll ask.
Which software do you use?
Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online. If you're not using one yet, our help covers getting access to the software, connecting supported bank feeds and training you on the parts you'll use.
Can I still see my numbers between reports?
Yes. Your books stay in your accounting software, so you can log in and look at them at any time.
