Only our registered BAS Agent transmits information to the ATO, ensuring your bookkeeping records never leave the country.

Seamless collaboration with your accountant

Our Xero-certified bookkeeping team integrates effortlessly with your external accountant. We maintain tidy ledgers, share real-time data through Xero and prepare BAS so your accountant can focus on strategic tax planning instead of clean-up work.

Combining our day-to-day precision with your accountant’s advisory insight gives you a powerful partnership that drives stronger compliance, clearer cash flow and better business decisions.

Why broader expertise makes our bookkeeping smarter

A single ledger entry can reveal much when interpreted by professionals who understand every moving part of your operation. SBAAS brings cross-disciplinary insight to bookkeeping, turning compliance tasks into strategic intelligence:

  • Payroll and HR lens: Award rules, leave accruals and on-costs are coded correctly, so wage margins are meaningful and pay runs stay error-free.
  • Operational efficiency lens: Process mapping skills highlight waste as soon as it appears in your P&L, letting you act before costs balloon.
  • Marketing perspective: Campaign spend is tagged to the dollar, linking promotions to real-time sales and cash flow for instant ROI tracking.
  • Compliance clarity: Deep knowledge of licensing, NDIS and other regulatory frameworks means we spot service-delivery issues while processing your books, giving early warnings that protect revenue and reputation.
  • Tender reading eye: Familiarity with grant and bid criteria guides how expenses are classified, ensuring your financials pass scrutiny when opportunities arise.
  • Strategic planning view: Forecasts and KPI dashboards are built to board-level standards so owners can move from reactive bookkeeping to proactive growth planning.

With SBAAS, your bookkeeping is more than precise; it is infused with decades of cross-sector experience and project expertise, turning raw figures into insights that empower decisive action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are bookkeeping fees?

  • Monthly reports,
  • Accounts receivable and payable follow-up,
  • BAS and payroll support,
  • Profit and loss and balance sheet reporting,

  • Software advice,
  • Staff training in best practice, and
  • Liaise with your accountant or the ATO when required.

Key tasks include data entry, bank reconciliation, payroll processing, BAS filing, debtor and creditor management and the preparation of management accounts.

Look for a BAS-registered, Xero-certified, onshore provider with clear fees and experience in trade and small enterprise settings.

Accuracy, proactive communication, fixed-fee options and the ability to convert data into practical advice.

Assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. Monitoring these categories keeps your balance sheet healthy.

Real-time figures reveal margin leaks and funding needs. Combine them with coaching insight and social media momentum to fuel expansion.

You save time, reduce stress and stay compliant. A skilled bookkeeper keeps your records accurate, meets deadlines, and flags issues early. You get a clear view of cash flow and profit, plus practical advice on what to pause, fix or prioritise.

What is bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is the accurate recording and organising of every financial transaction in your business.

A good bookkeeper keeps your records current, prepares clear summaries, and helps you see the financial health of your business at a glance.

They process invoices and bills, prepare information for tax time, monitor key indicators, and often guide owners on day-to-day financial decisions.

No. Bookkeepers manage the daily financial data and quality control. Accountants analyse those numbers to report performance, plan tax, and advise on structure and strategy.

Think of them as a team. Bookkeeping keeps the engine running. Accounting helps you stay on the right track.

Yes, in most cases. Your bookkeeper keeps your records accurate and up to date.

Your accountant uses that information to measure performance, manage tax and plan for growth.

Together, they protect your cash flow, reduce risk and help you make better decisions.

Not necessarily. Most bookkeeping can be delivered securely online. If you value in-person visits, choose local.

If you want the best fit for your needs, capability and industry, consider virtual support.

Choose the model that suits how you like to work.

No. BAS agents must meet specific qualifications and registration requirements.

If you need services like BAS lodgements, Single Touch Payroll, EOFY payroll finalisation, superannuation and taxable payments reporting, confirm your bookkeeper is a registered BAS agent.

Because your time is better spent on customers and growth. A bookkeeper handles the daily financial admin, keeps you compliant and gives you reliable numbers to run the business. Most offer tailored packages, so you can get exactly the support you need without hiring in-house.

Accrual and cash are two ways to record revenue and expenses.

Accrual basis records income when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred, even if the cash moves later. This gives a truer picture of performance, margins and obligations, because it matches revenue with the costs that created it.

Cash basis records income only when money is received and expenses only when money is paid. It is simple and can suit very small operators, but it can hide upcoming bills or unpaid invoices.

For most growing businesses, accrual basis provides a more accurate view of financial health over time.

It supports better decisions, clearer forecasting and smoother conversations with lenders, investors and advisors.

Closing a business needs tidy books and clear records. Here is a simple checklist to keep you compliant and in control.

1) Finalise your records
Record every transaction up to the closing date. Reconcile all bank, credit card and loan accounts. Make sure your ledger matches statements.

2) Settle debts and liabilities
List outstanding bills, loans, super and taxes. Pay what is due and document each payment. Keep confirmations from creditors and the ATO.

3) Complete payroll and employee obligations
Process final pays, leave entitlements and super. Issue final payslips and payment summaries where required. Update Single Touch Payroll and close the payroll year correctly.

4) Handle tax and BAS
Prepare and lodge your final BAS, payroll tax and other returns. Complete final income tax returns and cancel registrations you no longer need, such as GST and PAYG withholding.

5) Manage inventory and assets
Count stock and decide what to sell, write off or transfer. Record gains or losses on disposal. Update your asset register and depreciation schedules.

6) Close contracts and subscriptions
Review leases, software and service agreements. Give notice, confirm end dates and capture any exit fees in your accounts.

7) Close accounts and licences
Shut business bank accounts once all payments clear. Cancel ABN registrations you no longer require and any industry licences.

8) Keep your records
Store financial and payroll records for the required period. Keep copies of returns, statements, contracts and final reports. Make sure you can retrieve them if audited.

9) Prepare final reports
Produce a final profit and loss, balance sheet and a simple closing reconciliation. These documents provide clarity for owners, lenders and advisers.

10) Get advice early
Speak with your bookkeeper, BAS agent and accountant before you act. Good planning reduces tax risk, avoids penalties and speeds up the wind-down.
