What bookkeeping services Perth businesses hand off first

Start with the tasks that repeat most often:

  1. Entering bank and card transactions into Xero or MYOB.
  2. Coding each cost to the right expense category.
  3. Matching supplier invoices to bank payments.
  4. Tracking GST collected and paid each quarter for the BAS.
  5. Month-end bank reconciliation and a monthly summary report.

Your bookkeeper handles these on a set schedule. You review the report and send corrections. They come back the same day.

GST and BAS record-keeping for Perth businesses

If your Perth business is registered for GST, every transaction needs to be coded with the right tax code in Xero or MYOB. Your bookkeeper codes each item as it arrives. By the time the quarter closes, the totals are ready. Your registered BAS agent or accountant lodges the statement. Nothing is rushed at quarter end.

Perth businesses in mining services, construction and trades often have complex supplier and subcontractor invoice volumes. Your bookkeeper handles the data entry so you are not spending evenings entering receipts.

How to check the work each month

  1. Compare the bank balance in your software to your statement.

  3. Review the GST total and compare it with the prior quarter.
  4. Ask for a list of items that could not be matched automatically.
