Are your bookkeepers trained in Australian tax requirements?

Yes. BAS preparation, GST calculations, and PAYG withholding are standard skills. They work under the oversight of your local accountant or tax agent.

Can they work in Xero?

Most candidates hold Xero Advisor Certification. MYOB and QuickBooks are also well represented.

Can they process payroll?

Yes, including superannuation calculations. However, final payroll approval stays with a local authorised officer.

How do they handle invoices and receipts?

Receipts and invoices are captured via Hubdoc, Dext, or email. The bookkeeper processes, codes, and reconciles them in your accounting platform.

What does a month-end close involve?

Bank reconciliation, AR/AP aging reviews, payroll reconciliation, and a trial balance prepared for your accountant or CFO.
