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.

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.

Eric and Trudi from SBAAS are absolute legends! They really know their stuff when it comes to helping businesses, and what I like most is that they're just really easy to deal with. No complicated jargon or fancy talk, just good, practical advice that actually makes sense. You can tell they genuinely care about the people they work with, and they're always happy to share their knowledge and help wherever they can. There's so much experience between the two of them, and they're just all-round good people who are always willing to lend a hand. The only downside is Eric's dad jokes. Unfortunately, the advice he gives is so valuable that you just have to put up with them! Both lovely people who really know what they're doing and would happily recommend them to anyone running a business. Five stars for Eric and Trudi. Can't say the same for his jokes...

When I was looking to start my disability support business, I came across SBAAS and had the absolute pleasure of working with Eric and Trudi. They were genuinely so lovely from day one. They went above and beyond for me in every way and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! I always felt so supported and like I had people in my corner who actually cared about what I was trying to build. They were super easy to talk to, really patient and took the time to understand my vision and what I wanted my business to look like. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Even now, I still feel like I could reach out if I needed help or had questions and they’d be more than happy to help. I'm so grateful for them and everything they did to help me get started. Thank you Eric and Trudi!

As a startup social enterprise, our team of three had never built a business together before, so having the support of Eric and Trudi Allgood from SBAAS has been invaluable. From business planning, policies and procedures through to bookkeeping support and strategic advice, they've helped us put the right foundations in place for sustainable growth. What we love most is that they don't just give advice—they keep us accountable and focused on moving forward. Many of the things we've struggled with as a new business were second nature to them, and their guidance has saved us countless hours, mistakes and headaches. As sponsors and supporters of our community art gallery, they've also been incredibly generous with their time and encouragement. It's clear they genuinely care about helping small businesses succeed. We're incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend SBAAS to any business owner looking for experienced advisors who truly have your best interests at heart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are bookkeeping fees?

Fees reflect transactions, payroll and reporting needs. Rates under thirty dollars an hour often indicate offshore processing that can erode quality and security.

Bookkeepers capture transactions and reconcile your bank accounts to ensure your financial records are accurate.

Core duties include:

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