Our Services
Bookkeeping
Good bookkeeping isn’t just about keeping records, it’s about keeping your business legible. When your books are clean and current, you can make decisions with confidence, hand off to your accountant without drama, and sleep better knowing the numbers are right. We offer both ad hoc catch-up bookkeeping and ongoing monthly plans, depending on what suits your business.
- Transaction coding and bank reconciliation
- Accounts payable and receivable management
- Monthly or quarterly catch-up bookkeeping
- Ongoing bookkeeping on a regular schedule
Payroll & STP Lodgement
Payroll is one of those things that has to be right every single time. Your staff depend on it, the ATO watches it closely, and the rules around award rates, super and leave entitlements are constantly shifting. We take care of the whole process, from processing your weekly or fortnightly pays to making sure your Single Touch Payroll reporting stays compliant.
- Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payroll processing
- Single Touch Payroll (STP) lodgement
- Superannuation calculations and reporting
- Leave entitlement tracking
- End of financial year payroll finalisation
Business Activity Statements (BAS)
BAS lodgement is one of the most time-sensitive obligations a small business has. Miss a deadline and the ATO notices. Get it wrong and you’re correcting it under pressure. As a registered BAS Agent, Mandy prepares and lodges your BAS accurately and on time and can represent you with the ATO if anything needs following up.
- GST calculation and reconciliation
- BAS preparation and ATO lodgement
- PAYG withholding reporting
- Fuel tax credit claims (where applicable)
- ATO correspondence and follow-up
Instalment Activity Statements (IAS)
If you need to report and pay PAYG withholding on a monthly basis, an Instalment Activity Statement (IAS) is required in addition to your quarterly BAS. It’s a straightforward process, but one more compliance obligation that can slip if you’re managing it yourself. We take it off your list.
- Monthly IAS preparation and lodgement
- PAYG withholding calculations
- Reconciliation with payroll records
- ATO payment scheduling guidance
- Integration with your broader BAS reporting
Financial Reporting
A profit and loss statement or balance sheet is only useful if you can read it. We prepare clear, accurate financial reports and take the time to walk you through what they mean, so you actually know how your business is performing, not just what the figures say. Whether you need reports for yourself, your bank or your accountant, we can help.
- Profit & loss statements
- Balance sheet preparation
- Cash flow summaries
- Budget vs actual reporting
- Custom reports tailored to your business
ATO Liaison
Dealing with the ATO can be stressful, especially when something’s gone wrong or you’re not sure what they’re asking for. As a registered BAS Agent, Mandy can correspond with the ATO on your behalf, whether it’s responding to a notice, setting up a payment plan, or simply making sure the right information reaches the right place.
- Responding to ATO notices and requests
- Payment plan negotiations
- ATO account reconciliation
- Amendment lodgement for prior period errors
- Ongoing ATO correspondence management
ASIC Agent Services
As a registered ASIC Agent, we can manage your company’s annual review obligations and lodge changes with ASIC on your behalf. If your business structure changes, new directors, updated addresses, changes to shares, we handle the lodgement so it’s done correctly and on time.
- Annual company review processing
- Director and officer changes
- Registered address updates
- Share structure changes
- ASIC correspondence management
Xero Setup & Training
Xero is genuinely excellent software, but only if it’s set up correctly and you know how to use it. A badly configured chart of accounts or a misunderstood bank feed can cause problems that are tedious to untangle later. We set up your Xero file properly from the start, migrate your existing data if needed, and train you to use it confidently day-to-day.
- New Xero file setup and configuration
- Chart of accounts tailored to your business
- Bank feed connection and reconciliation setup
- Staff training (one-on-one or small group)
- Data migration from other software
Business Setup Advice
Starting a business involves a lot of decisions that have long-term financial and compliance implications. Getting the structure right early, whether that’s sole trader, company, trust or partnership, makes everything simpler down the track. We can talk you through your options, help you register for the right obligations, and get your bookkeeping set up from day one.
- Business structure guidance (sole trader, company, trust, partnership)
- ABN and GST registration support
- Initial bookkeeping system setup
- Compliance calendar setup (BAS, payroll, superannuation)
- Software selection and onboarding
End of Year (EOY) Financial Services
End of financial year is always busy, but it doesn’t have to be painful. We prepare your books for handover to your accountant, make sure everything reconciles, and ensure your EOFY payroll obligations are met. The better prepared your records are, the less time (and money) your accountant needs to spend fixing things before they can help you.
- EOFY bookkeeping reconciliation and clean-up
- Payroll year-end finalisation and STP submission
- Depreciation schedule preparation
- Workpapers and accountant handover package
- Superannuation liability review
How our pricing works
Every business is different, so our pricing reflects the actual work involved, not a one-size-fits-all package. Before we quote anything, we take the time to understand your business, your current setup and what you need. From there, we’ll give you a clear, honest figure with no surprises.
Get in touch and we’ll have a chat about what you’re looking for.
