Start-up bookkeeping setup and training, from day one.
Choose the right software, set it up properly, and learn to read your own numbers from the first month.
How should a new business set up its bookkeeping?

Questions
Frequently asked.
Which software is best for a start-up?+
It depends on your industry and how you will work. We work with Xero and QuickBooks Online and will recommend the one that fits.
Do I need a BAS agent from day one?+
Not always. If you register for GST you will lodge a BAS, and we can do that for you or show you how to do it yourself.
Should I register for GST?+
That depends on your turnover and situation. Check the ATO guidance or ask your tax agent.
Can you train my staff too?+
Yes. We can train you and your in-house staff on the software and routines.
Can you help me move from spreadsheets?+
Yes. We move your records into Xero or QuickBooks Online and set up bank feeds so you are not starting from scratch.
What is a Next-Stage Session?+
A one-off session for small businesses: where you are now, what to fix first, and what to set up for the next stage.
