Bookkeeping Hospital Admissions | My Great Bookkeeper

🩺 Your Books Have Been Called In.

Welcome to Bookkeeping Hospital Admissions. Your books are the patient. Ook has brought them in, Kee has the file, and Albert is waiting outside with his pink donut.

The purpose of Admissions: work out whether your books are well enough to walk into Bookkeeping Hospital themselves... or whether Bunny needs to call the ambulance.

Ook asks
First question for the patient file: how long have your books been feeling unwell?

Reception only needs the truth. We are deciding how much treatment the books may need.

🐰 Bunny checks the admissions file
Being behind changes the treatment plan. It does not tell us whether the books can recover.
πŸ’š
Kee asks
🏦 VITAL SIGNS: when did the bank accounts last reconcile properly?

Kee is checking the pulse: do the accounting records genuinely match what happened in the bank?

πŸ’™
Albert checks the calendar
πŸ’™ BAS OBSERVATIONS: what does Albert's chart say about BAS, GST and PAYG?

Albert is outside the ward with one pink donut and a very good view of the BAS calendar.

🐰 Bunny checks Albert's donut reserves
Treatment order: gather, code, reconcile, review, then lodge.
πŸ‰
Has Pyro appeared?
πŸ‰ PAYROLL ALERT: have payroll or STP errors let the dragon into the books?

Pyro is not the doctor. Pyro is the Payroll Dragon we are trying to banish. He tends to appear when payroll errors, STP mismatches, unexplained balances or old payroll problems are left behind.

πŸ”₯ Pyro treatment rule: we do not invite him to the consultation. We find the payroll errors, repair the records and banish the dragon.
🐰
Bunny checks the paperwork
🧾 DOCUMENT SCAN: where are the patient's receipts and source documents?

Good records make coding, GST treatment and future questions much easier.

🧚
The Halaxy Fairy scans the systems
🧚 SYSTEMS SCAN: are Halaxy or your other business systems talking properly to the books?

If this does not apply to your business, choose the first option.

πŸ’š
Kee asks the important one
πŸ’š KEE'S CONSULTATION: can we trust the numbers coming out of this patient?

A pretty Profit & Loss is not a clean bill of health if nobody believes it.

🐰
Bunny adds the final admission note
🐰 What would help you most while the books are being treated?

This answer does not change how sick the books are. It tells us what you need while they are being fixed.
