You set up a company to take on a contract. Now there's a company to run as well: BAS, payroll, super and a set of books. We look after that side, so your company stays in order while you focus on the work.
Your company, kept in order
Agency payment received
Recorded against the right invoice or RCTI
Quarterly BAS
GST and PAYG prepared, approved by you, lodged
Director pay run
Reported via STP, super paid on payday
Set-aside guide
What's due for GST and PAYG each quarter
What usually goes wrong
Company money is used for personal things, or the reverse. It's easy to do and messy to untangle later.
GST on your agency invoices needs to be set aside, and it's easy to spend it by mistake.
As a director, your salary goes through payroll and Single Touch Payroll. Super now has to be paid every payday, not quarterly.
Timesheets, invoices and agency-issued tax invoices (RCTIs) all need to line up with what lands in the bank.
When books aren't current, your accountant starts from scratch and the bill goes up.
Most contractors we meet are good at their jobs and short on time.
That's not a problem. It's what we're here for.

Before or after work, when you need one.
Nothing about your work, your clients or your project.
Common questions
Your company still has obligations when you're not billing. We can drop you to a lighter package until your next contract starts.
Yes. Starting with clean books is much easier than fixing them later. We'll set up Xero, your bank feeds and payroll for you.
Usually not, but it depends on your agreement with the agency. We'll check your setup and make sure the GST is counted once, not twice.
No. We handle the bookkeeping, BAS and payroll. Your accountant does your company and personal tax returns. If you need one, we can introduce you.
