Frequently Asked Bookkeeping Questions
Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping is the recording of a company’s financial transactions, it is the cornerstone of a business’s financial success.
Bookkeeping organises your transactions to produce basic finical reports such as:
Profit & Loss, Cost of Goods Sold and Balance Sheet. It also enables you to meet your ATO obligations, such as BAS, IAS, Payroll tax and Superannuation.
Bookkeeping is unavoidable, but most business owners don’t have the time or the know-how. By outsourcing your bookkeeping, you gain the confidence things are being looked after and you get your time back to focus on your business.
