What is a bookkeeper?
A bookkeeper works as an integral part of your team to manage your business paperwork and ATO compliance so you can get on with running your business.
What is Bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the recording of financial transactions, and is part of the process of accounting in business. Transactions include purchases, sales, receipts, and payments by an individual person or an organization/corporation. – Wikipedia
A bookkeeper is a ‘keeper of the books’. Bookkeeping isn’t just historical processing. Bookkeeping is “integrated business system management”. – Institute of Certified Bookkeepers
For us it means keeping track of and recording your day to day business transactions into an easy to use accounting software program so that you can run meaningful reports to track how your business is performing on a current basis.
It also means that you are ready to prepare your Business Activity Statements on time without a mad rush to get your accounts up to date. No business owner needs that sort of stress and it shouldn’t still be happening with the new technology available these days.
It also means that your accounts are nice and tidy and ready for your accountant at year end to prepare your income tax return which should save you money on accounting fees.
