Most business owners start off by doing their own bookkeeping. So why do you need a bookkeeper?
Staying on top of the day-to-day finances and meeting tax and compliance requirements becomes a challenge as your business grows. It’s harder toanswer questions like ‘are we making money’ and ‘can we afford to…’.
Are you forgetting to monitor unpaid invoices? Do you assume that because you have a ‘buffer’ in the bank account you’re profitable? Without a clear vision of your cash flow and real business performance, it’s easy to lose control of one of the cornerstones of any business – your finances.
With a bookkeeping service you take back control of your business. You get to leave these time-consuming activities in the hands of a bookkeeping team that’s there to keep your finances in check and give you a clear vision of how you’re actually performing.

Are bookkeeping fees tax deductible?
Yes. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows you to deduct bookkeeping fees from your business profits.
Should your bookkeeper have access to your bank account?
Depending on the level of service you require, your bookkeeper may need access to your bank account. Especially if your bookkeeper is looking after the payment of bills, wages and superannuation – they won’t be able to do it without it!
Along with our own IT security systems and processes, most banks offer a secure two-step approval process so that whilst your bookkeeper processes the transactions, the approval is still up to the business owner.
What does a bookkeeper do vs an accountant?
Bookkeeper: In a general sense, a bookkeeper keeps track of the day-to-day transactions in a business. They record bills paid, sales, payroll, and other expenditures.
Accountant: To complete their work, an accountant relies on the work that has been done by a bookkeeper. As such, accountants review the financial records and statements to make interpretations and use analytics. Accountants are able to pull insights about the company’s overall health based on the statements provided by a bookkeeper.
What is bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the daily recording of the financial transactions within your business, such as receipts, payments to suppliers and staff, and other movements. These records are used as the basis to prepare your profit and loss statement, balance sheet and other financial reports to give you a clear picture of your business performance.
Can I do the bookkeeping myself?
Absolutely you can do your own bookkeeping if you enjoy it, have the time for it and have the relevant knowledge. We find that most clients don’t go into business for the bookkeeping thrill. Most start a business based on a passion for something and hit a roadblock when it comes to the bookkeeping side of things – which is exactly why we do what we do!
