Problem Solving
We find many business owners prefer to do the majority of their bookkeeping themselves. In our experience 80% of the transactions can easily be coded by the business using memorised transactions and other methods, which can save business owners much time on bookkeeping.
We help with the other 20% that can’t be automated. Let us know your issues or problems and we’ll work with you to get the best possible solution to simplify your financials.
Your bookkeeping should be:
• Taking up as little of your time as possible, and as easy as possible
• Giving you a good understanding of your finances by use of matrix, KPIs, budgets, reporting and analysis
• Collaborative, transparent and reasonable
• Effectively using up to date technology
Your bookkeeper should be:
• Proactively ensuring deadlines and compliance obligations are met with the ATO, Fair Work, and OSR
• Responsive to your needs and suggesting improvements
• Helping you solve problems, accounting transactions, or other business issues
• Keeping you up to date with industry related statutory and technology changes
• Ensuring you have all the information you need, when you need it
