Balanced Bookkeeping

A Sunshine Coast bookkeeper, Balanced Bookkeeping works with small and medium-sized businesses on the day-to-day records and compliance deadlines that come with running a company. The firm presents itself as a complete bookkeeping service, and says its principal has twenty-one years in the accounting industry and is a registered BAS agent.

Bookkeeping that runs through the year

General bookkeeping, accounts payable and receivable, and payroll with superannuation form the core of the work. The firm also produces cash flow statements, planning budgets and forward forecasts, and runs stock control. It says it wants a business's books to be accurate, compliant and on time, so owners can see their position at any point in the year.

Setting up Xero, MYOB or Reckon

Software and office systems set-up covers Xero, MYOB and Reckon. The firm says there are many strong options for small business accounting and that its team can tailor a set-up to whichever package a business needs. It positions this as part of its wider aim of keeping Sunshine Coast businesses up to date and compliant.

BAS, superannuation and the ATO

BAS and IAS compliance means preparing activity statements on time, while payroll and superannuation work covers pay runs and super obligations. The firm says it can also handle compliance with the ATO and the ACNC for charities and foundations, so that clients can concentrate on their purpose.

End of financial year preparation

End-of-year work gathers the figures an accountant needs. The firm's list runs from employee payment summaries and the profit and loss summary to debtor and creditor records, asset purchases, depreciation, capital gains tax, PAYG withholding, fringe benefits tax, goods and services tax and superannuation requirements. It advises owners to start these steps early rather than rush at the end of the financial year.

Advice on casual, part-time and full-time staff

The firm says its principal can talk through the pros and cons of casual, part-time and full-time employment with owners, drawing on accounting experience and the work of a registered BAS agent. The advice is meant to be practical and constructive.
