The books are months behind
Every month it slips further, and the longer it sits the bigger the job looks. So it keeps sitting.
Books behind, Xero a mess, payroll eating your week or BAS coming up fast. Tell us what is actually happening and we will work out what needs doing.

None of these are unusual. Most small businesses hit at least two of them, and almost nobody hits them because they are bad at running a business — they hit them because the bookkeeping is the job nobody has time for.
Every month it slips further, and the longer it sits the bigger the job looks. So it keeps sitting.
The deadline is fixed, the bookkeeping behind it is not finished, and the numbers cannot be relied on.
Timesheets, entitlements, super and STP filing land in the middle of an already full week, every week.
The work is done but the money is not in, because nobody has time to raise the invoice or follow it up.
The reports come out of a file that does not reconcile, so nobody trusts the numbers enough to make decisions on them.
Evenings and weekends spent on data entry that could be someone else's routine work instead of your unpaid overtime.
Reconciliations, coding and records kept current so the file never falls behind again.
BookkeepingThe bookkeeping finished and the GST coding checked before each period is prepared.
BAS & GST supportPay runs processed, STP filed on time and super guarantee obligations tracked.
Payroll & superBills entered, payment runs prepared, invoices raised and overdue accounts chased.
AP & ARMonths or years of backlog worked through until the file reconciles again.
Catch-up workFeeds reconnected, the chart of accounts tidied and the file made useful again.
Xero supportYou will know the scope and the price before any work starts, and you will know what we found in the file before you are asked to commit to anything.
The plain-English version. You do not need to work out what the bookkeeping problem is called first.
Read access to the accounting file shows the real position rather than the assumed one, so the quote reflects the actual work.
Split into one-off catch-up work and ongoing monthly work, so you can see exactly what each part costs.
Once the file is current, the work settles into a predictable cycle and stops being something that hangs over you.
Job costs, subcontractors, materials and payroll — recorded properly without adding another evening job.
