Frequently asked questions

It's simpler than you might think. Get in touch and we'll have a conversation about your business and what you need. From there, we'll help you choose the right solution, set up the systems and processes to support it, and get everything running smoothly. You can choose a package on the pricing page, or contact us and we'll help build something that fits.

In most cases your bookkeeper works remotely, which means no disruption to your day. If there are circumstances where an on-site visit makes more sense, that can be arranged between you and your bookkeeper.

We'll work with you to set up clear processes that define what your business needs to provide and when. This typically includes things like expense invoices, bank statements, and timesheets for payroll. We may also need access to your accounting software or document storage. Our team has a range of solutions to make this as easy as possible.

Most businesses do, and the good news is there are plenty of affordable options that won't overwhelm you. For GST-registered businesses, accounting software simplifies BAS lodgement. If you have employees, it's essential for Single Touch Payroll, which is a mandatory ATO reporting requirement. It also keeps your financial records accurate and audit-ready, and makes it significantly easier for your bookkeeper to do their best work. If you don't have software yet, we can help you find the right fit for your business and budget as part of getting started.

We work with businesses across a wide range of industries including Audio Visual and Technology Services, Entertainment and Events, Creative and Design Services, Education and Training, Sports and Recreation, Retail, Not-for-Profit and Community Organisations, and Professional Services. If your industry isn't listed, get in touch. If it's a legitimate Australian business, chances are we can help.

We're based in Melbourne's northern suburbs and service businesses all across Australia. If you're based overseas but have Australian bookkeeping or accounting obligations, we can help with that too.

Yes. Alongside our bookkeeping and accounting services, we design and build custom web applications for businesses with specific operational needs. We have live applications in production for clients across a range of industries, including full event production management systems, client portals, AI-powered document processing, fixed asset registers with ATO-compliant depreciation tracking, and asset tracking solutions. If your business has a problem that off-the-shelf software doesn't solve properly, talk to us.
