Professional Bookkeeping Services

A professional bookkeeper keeps your financial records accurate, current and useful. That can include bank reconciliation, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll processing, GST coding, document management and financial reporting.

At My Great Bookkeeper, we look beyond data entry. We investigate balances that do not make sense, identify missing information and build bookkeeping systems that help you understand what is really happening in your business.

A bookkeeper can maintain records and process day-to-day transactions. A Registered BAS Agent has additional qualifications, experience and legal authority to provide BAS services for a fee.

A Registered BAS Agent can prepare and lodge BAS and IAS, advise on GST and PAYG withholding, and represent clients in BAS matters with the Australian Taxation Office. My Great Bookkeeper provides bookkeeping under the oversight of Registered BAS Agent Rebecca Fitzpatrick, BAS Agent No. 26110827.

Usually, yes—but they perform different roles. Your bookkeeper keeps the accounting file accurate throughout the year and helps manage bookkeeping, payroll and BAS obligations. Your accountant generally provides income tax, business structure and higher-level tax advice.

Accurate bookkeeping gives your accountant reliable information to work from. We are happy to work alongside your existing accountant so each professional can focus on their area of responsibility.

Yes. We provide ongoing Xero bookkeeping services for Australian sole traders, companies and not-for-profit organisations. Support can be tailored to include bank reconciliation, bills, invoicing, payroll, GST, BAS preparation, financial reports and bookkeeping controls.

We can manage the complete bookkeeping process or work with your internal team and take responsibility for the areas where experienced support is needed.

Yes. A good Xero setup is more than creating a chart of accounts. We consider GST registration, bank feeds, invoice settings, payroll, tracking, document collection, user access and how information will move through your business.

Starting with the right structure helps prevent duplicate transactions, incorrect GST coding, unreliable reports and expensive clean-up work later.

Yes. Our practical Xero training is designed for business owners, sole traders, employees and internal bookkeepers who want to use Xero with confidence.

Training can cover everyday Xero tasks such as invoicing, entering bills, matching bank transactions, attaching documents, reading reports and avoiding common GST and reconciliation errors. We explain the process in plain English and use your real business workflow wherever appropriate.

Yes. We provide personalised online Xero help and training by Zoom, so you can learn from your own office or home anywhere in Australia.

You can book help for a specific Xero problem, learn a complete process or arrange training for your team. Because the training is delivered by an experienced professional bookkeeper, we can explain both where to click and why the bookkeeping treatment matters.

Your BAS can only be prepared correctly when the underlying bookkeeping is complete and reconciled. If your books are behind, we first identify missing transactions, unreconciled accounts and incorrect GST coding.

We then explain what needs to be corrected before the BAS can be finalised. Once the records are accurate and you have approved the figures, we can prepare and lodge the BAS through the ATO as your Registered BAS Agent.

Our Registered BAS Agent services include BAS and IAS preparation and lodgment, GST and PAYG withholding reviews, reconciliation of relevant control accounts, BAS working papers and communication about figures that need attention.

We do not simply take a number from the software and lodge it. We review the bookkeeping behind the BAS so the information reported to the ATO is supported by the accounting records.

Most active businesses benefit from weekly bookkeeping. Regular processing keeps invoices, bills, bank reconciliation, payroll and cash flow information current. Smaller businesses may only need monthly support, but bookkeeping should always be complete before BAS, payroll, financial reporting or year-end work is finalised.

Leaving bookkeeping until a deadline makes errors harder to trace and can turn a manageable task into an expensive clean-up.

Yes. Our bookkeeping clean-up and rescue service is for businesses with unreconciled bank accounts, duplicate transactions, incorrect GST, unpaid items that are not real, payroll differences or Balance Sheet accounts that no longer make sense.

We investigate the cause, correct the records and help put a stronger process in place. There is no judgement. The aim is to give you accurate books and a clear way forward.

Yes. My Great Bookkeeper provides secure, cloud-based bookkeeping, Xero support and Registered BAS Agent services to businesses across Australia.

Our office hubs are in Mosman, Wyee and the Sydney CBD, and we support clients locally across Sydney, the Central Coast, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Hunter, as well as remotely throughout Australia.

We support Australian small and medium businesses across a range of industries, with particular experience in medical and allied health practices, not-for-profit organisations, trades and construction, hospitality and professional services.

Every industry has different workflows and compliance pressure points. We tailor the bookkeeping system to the way your organisation actually operates.

Yes. We can assist with payroll processing, employee setup, pay runs, Single Touch Payroll filing, payroll reconciliation and superannuation bookkeeping.

Payroll needs to agree across your payroll reports, accounting records, bank payments, STP filings and BAS. We focus on making the complete payroll trail accurate—not merely pressing the finalise button.

The cost depends on the volume of transactions, number of accounts, payroll requirements, reporting needs, software setup and condition of the existing records.

We explain the likely scope and fees before work begins. Ongoing bookkeeping is tailored to the support your business genuinely needs, while clean-up work is assessed separately because every accounting file tells a different story.

Start with a free 30-minute Chemistry Call. We will listen to what is happening, identify the areas that need attention and explain what the next step may look like.

It is also a chance for both of us to decide whether we are the right fit. Good bookkeeping works best as a partnership built on accurate information, clear communication and trust.
