What’s included

Everything we take off your list

Our own specialist bookkeeping team does it all, to a premium standard, on a set weekly rhythm. You stay in control. We do the work.

Book a free call

Your accounts inbox

Send every bill and receipt to one email address. We read it, file it and enter it in Xero. You never touch it again.

Bills and payments

We load every bill, check it and set up a weekly or fortnightly payment run. You just approve it. Nothing is paid without your OK.

Invoices and chasing

We send your invoices and follow up anyone who pays late, so cash comes in faster.

Payroll and super

Pay runs, leave, super and Single Touch Payroll, done right and on time. Your team gets paid and you don’t lift a finger.

BAS and the ATO

We prepare and lodge your BAS and IAS on time, and set up payment plans if you need them. No more quarterly panic.

Month-end close

Every month we reconcile every account, fix any errors and close the books. Then you get a simple report on profit, cash and trends.

Complex groups

Specialists in multi-entity and complex groups

A lot of bookkeeping is set up for one company and one bank account. Ours is built for groups.

Companies, trusts, partnerships, overseas suppliers and several sites. We keep every entity right, every month, and show you how the whole group is really going.

Book a free call

Every entity, every month

Each company, trust and partnership is reconciled and closed every month. No entity sits months behind.

Inter-entity loans that balance

Money moving between your entities is recorded on both sides, so loan accounts match and your accountant has nothing to untangle.

Overseas and multi-currency

Overseas suppliers, foreign currency accounts and international payments, handled properly in Xero.

Reports for each entity and the group

See what each part of the group really earns, and how the whole group is tracking.

Controls you can trust

Bill approvals, two-person payment sign-off and audit-ready records as standard.

Specialists, not generalists

Our own full service bookkeeping team, working alongside our CFOs. Not a freelancer squeezing you in.

Case studies

Headaches gone

What handing over the books looks like in real businesses. Client names are kept private.

Hospitality group, Sydney

Every payment checked, every bill on time

Before

Bills came in from everywhere, payments needed sign-off from people in different time zones, and stock counts were unreliable.

What we took over

Bill uploads, payroll and the full weekly payment run. We set up multi-person bill approval, two-person bank sign-off and a proper monthly stock count.

After

Bills are paid on time, every payment is checked by two people, and the owners get clean numbers every month.

Trade business, Geelong

Sunday nights back

Before

The owner spent most Sunday nights on invoices and payroll. The accounts inbox was overflowing and BAS was always late.

What we took over

The accounts inbox, invoicing, payroll and a weekly bill run with one-click approval.

After

The owner works on jobs, not paperwork, and the BAS goes in on time every quarter.

Family group, Melbourne

Seven months behind to fully up to date

Before

Three companies and a family trust, with money moving between them and to overseas suppliers. The books were seven months behind.

What we took over

A full catch-up and clean-up, clear accounts between each entity, and monthly reports for every business.

After

Every entity is up to date, and the month is closed by the 10th.

Bookkeeper plus CFO

Clean books are step one. Here’s step two.

Add a CFO and your clean numbers turn into a plan to lift profit and cash.

Your bookkeeper keeps the numbers right. Your CFO tells you what they mean and what to do next. Same team, nothing falls through the gaps.

Common questions

Can’t find your answer? Book a call and ask us directly.

What is full service bookkeeping?

It means we run your whole back office. That includes your accounts inbox, bills, invoices, payroll and super, BAS, and closing the books each month. You approve payments. We do the rest.

Do you handle multi-entity groups and trusts?

Yes, it is one of our specialties. We look after groups with several companies, trusts and partnerships, including money moving between them and overseas payments. Every entity is reconciled each month, with reports for each one and for the whole group.

What makes your bookkeeping premium?

You get our own specialist team, not a freelancer. Every entity is closed every month, payments have proper approvals and your bookkeeper works alongside a CFO. So you never have to think about the books.

Will I still be in control of my money?

Yes. We prepare every payment, but nothing is paid until you approve it. You can also set up two-person approval for extra safety.

My books are months behind. Can you help?

Yes. We catch up and clean up old work first, so you start with books you can trust. Then we keep them up to date every week.

Do you use Xero?

Yes. We work in Xero, and we can move you across from MYOB, QuickBooks or spreadsheets. We also set up add-ons like Hubdoc and Employment Hero.

How do I send you bills and receipts?

Forward them to one accounts inbox, or snap a photo with an app. We pick them up from there and enter them for you.

Do I need to change my accountant?

No. We can work with your current accountant and send them clean books at year end. Or we can bring it all into one team with our CFO and tax support.

Can you do payroll for a large team?

Yes. We run payroll for teams of all sizes, including awards, leave, super and Single Touch Payroll.

Do you only work with businesses in Geelong and Melbourne?

No. Our team works with businesses right across Australia.

How much does full service bookkeeping cost?

It depends on how many transactions, staff and entities you have. After a free call, we give you a clear monthly fee before any work starts.
