Most clients start with one thing, usually a messy Xero file or a BAS that's due, and end up handing us the lot. Here's how we keep the books for Canberra small businesses.
Books that are a few months behind make every other job harder. BAS takes longer, decisions get made on guesswork, and tax time becomes a scramble.
We keep your books current, every week or every month.
What's included
When a bank feed drops out or transactions are coded to the wrong place, the reports in Xero stop meaning anything.
Need reconciliation only?
We also offer it on its own, priced by the number of transactions each month.

Up-to-date books are only useful if you can see what they say. Each month or quarter, we send you your reports straight from Xero, with a short note in plain English on what's changed.
You see where your business stands without having to dig through Xero.
What you'll get
If you're months or years behind, you're not alone. It's one of the most common reasons people call us.
No lectures. We just get it sorted.
How it works
Clean books make an accurate BAS. As a registered BAS agent, we prepare your BAS, send it to you to approve, and lodge it with the ATO.

Every business is set up differently. Some owners want the lot taken off their hands. Others like to keep invoicing themselves and hand over the rest. Tell us what's taking up your time, and we'll build a package around it, with one fixed monthly price.

We don't replace your accountant. We make their job easier. Clean, reconciled books mean your tax return is quicker to prepare and often cheaper. If you don't have an accountant, we can introduce you to one.
A bookkeeper keeps your records up to date. A registered BAS agent can also prepare and lodge your BAS for a fee. An accountant who is a registered tax agent does your tax returns and gives tax advice. We're a bookkeeping practice and a registered BAS agent, and we work alongside your accountant.
