Your business is busy enough. The books shouldn't add to the noise.

Yes. My Great Bookkeeper provides bookkeeping and Registered BAS Agent support for businesses in Hurstville and can also provide cloud-based bookkeeping support to businesses across the wider Sydney area.

We can assist with ongoing bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, BAS and IAS, catch-up bookkeeping and cloud accounting processes.

Yes. We can assist Hurstville businesses with Xero bookkeeping, including bank reconciliations, transaction coding, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable and keeping the accounting file organised and up to date.

We can also review how Xero is being used in your business so bank feeds, receipts, payroll and other bookkeeping processes work together more smoothly.

Yes. If your health or allied health practice uses Halaxy, we can help with the bookkeeping processes surrounding the practice, including payments, expenses, payroll, bank transactions and the accounting system used alongside Halaxy.

The goal is to make sure the financial information coming through the practice can be properly reconciled and understood in your bookkeeping records.

Yes. Where a health or allied health practice uses Halaxy for practice management and Xero for accounting, we can help review the bookkeeping workflow around both systems.

This can include reviewing payments, deposits, fees, expenses, payroll and bank transactions so the accounting file reflects the financial activity of the practice as clearly as possible.

My Great Bookkeeper provides Registered BAS Agent services and can assist eligible clients with BAS preparation and lodgment, GST reporting, IAS and related BAS Agent services.

We also reconcile the bookkeeping records behind the BAS so the information being used is properly supported by the accounts.

Yes. Payroll can form part of an ongoing bookkeeping service. We can assist with payroll processing, PAYG withholding, superannuation records and Single Touch Payroll reporting.

Keeping payroll connected to the bookkeeping also makes it easier to reconcile wages and payroll liabilities and identify discrepancies earlier.

Yes. You do not need to clean everything up before asking for help.

Catch-up bookkeeping may involve reviewing unreconciled transactions, checking bank and credit card accounts, identifying duplicated or missing entries, reviewing balances and bringing the file back to a position where it can be maintained properly again.

Yes. Xero files can become difficult to manage because of duplicated transactions, old unreconciled items, incorrect coding, payroll discrepancies or bookkeeping that has simply fallen behind.

We can review the file, identify problem areas, reconcile accounts and help establish a cleaner bookkeeping process going forward.

Yes. Allied health and healthcare businesses can have bookkeeping needs involving multiple payment sources, practitioners, payroll, expenses, practice-management software and regular financial reporting.

We can help organise the bookkeeping around the way the practice actually operates, including businesses using systems such as Halaxy and Xero.

Yes. Trades and service businesses often have supplier bills, vehicle expenses, subcontractors, payroll, equipment purchases, customer invoices and multiple jobs happening at once.

Keeping those records organised can make it easier to understand cash flow and business performance rather than relying only on the amount sitting in the bank account.

A bookkeeper generally works more closely with the day-to-day financial records of the business, including transactions, reconciliations, payroll, accounts payable and accounts receivable.

Your accountant or tax agent generally focuses more heavily on areas such as tax returns, financial statements, tax planning and broader accounting advice. Ideally, the two roles work together.

Absolutely. Your bookkeeper and accountant perform different roles but should be able to work together.

Our role is to keep the day-to-day accounts organised, reconciled and properly documented so your accountant has reliable information available when they need it.

Not necessarily. Modern bookkeeping can be managed securely through cloud accounting systems without somebody needing to physically sit in your office every week.

Bank feeds, accounting software and digital document systems make remote bookkeeping practical while still giving you access to your financial information when you need it.

Bookkeeping costs depend on the amount and complexity of work required. Transaction volume, payroll, the number of bank accounts, accounts payable, accounts receivable, BAS requirements and the condition of the existing bookkeeping file can all affect the workload.

We prefer to understand what the business actually needs rather than assume every business requires the same bookkeeping package.

Start with a conversation. You do not need to have your books perfectly organised before contacting us.

We can talk through what is currently happening with your bookkeeping, what is causing problems, what software you are already using and what level of support would make running the business easier.
