FAQ

Bookkeeping Questions

What's the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

A bookkeeper is detail orientated around the finer points of your business. They collate and record your financial transactions, manage cash flow within the business and provide reporting for your accountant and the ATO. If they are also registered as a BAS agent, they cant also fulfil your BAS requirements and obligations. An accountant focuses on your business as a whole. They are both qualified and specialise in the financial infrastructure of the business along with advice on tax management.

Can't my accountant do my bookkeeping for me?

Whilst there are some Accountants who provide bookkeeping services within their firms they do charge you a significantly higher hourly rate. Your Accountant would much prefer to concentrate on providing higher end accounting advice and business planning.

Why should I use a bookkeeper over doing my own bookkeeping?

Think of it this way, you may not have experience or be a qualified builder, however you can go to the tool shop, purchase some tools and start renovating. Over time your skills in building may improve and you might even become a very good builder, but undoubtedly along the way there will be some very bad renovation attempts, that might even cost you to fix it up. Occasionally it might even take months and a lot of money to fix these mistakes up. Bookkeeping is the same thing, having knowledge, skills and experience are needed to be a good bookkeeper. Along with those skills you must stay up to date with amendments in payroll, taxation, GST, PAYG and ATO legislation changes.

What are your bookkeeping costs?

We believe in providing customized service to our clients and there is not a one size fits all. We have a combination of hourly bookkeeping fees and fixed package rates. Every package though is tailored to suit your needs and we will consult with your and your business to discuss which business solutions is the best fit for you.

What qualifications does a bookkeeper have?

There are many difference courses in bookkeeping, from different providers, however there is no requirement of qualification to be a bookkeeper. From 2010 though it became illegal to charge for providing a BAS service unless you are registered as a ‘BAS Agent’. This requires specific qualifications and a significant level of experience for registration, along with ongoing professional development. Always ask for a BAS Agent number if you’re going to hire a bookkeeper.
