Our Process

____

If you’re contacting us for the first time, the Client Needs Bookkeeping process usually starts with a phone call. Sometimes our clients know exactly what they want from a bookkeeping service, while others come to us without any idea of what to expect. We’ll discuss your business with you in-depth to ensure we have a thorough sense of your activities and needs.

In some instances, we’ll organise an initial on-site meeting with you to run through your existing records and ensure everything is up-to-date. You might have an online system already in-place, or you might be looking for our recommendations regarding which of the available packages will work best for you. If that’s the case, we’ll support you and your team through the implementation and training process, before developing an ongoing approach that will ensure all bookkeeping responsibilities are appropriately managed over the long-term.

With all the groundwork complete, we’ll be able to work remotely and autonomously on all agreed aspects of your financial operations. By engaging Client Needs Bookkeeping you’ll be freeing yourself from the administrative-burden that goes hand-in-hand with the financial obligations of running a business.

We are committed to developing robust relationships with clients over the long-term, built on a foundation of trust. Think of us as another member of your team, here to keep a continuous eye on all bookkeeping duties, with regular updates to ensure you are always fully across the current state-of-play when it comes to your accounts.

Tasks we can support you with include:

  • Payroll – We’ll help you determine what, how and when to renumerate your people and suppliers, on time, every time, for the protection of your reputation.
  • Invoicing – By taking an overarching view of your accounts receivable, we’ll work to ensure all money owed is paid in a timely manner.
  • Business Activity Statements (BAS) lodgements – We’ll ensure you meet government requirements and remain compliant at every stage.
  • Training – Sometimes, all a business owner requires is a little bit of guidance. Our team can work with your people to develop processes and equip you with the knowledge and tools to effectively manage your financial operations in-house going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bookkeeper's role?
Detail-orientated, a bookkeeper tends to be much more involved in the day-to-day financial aspects of a business than other financial service providers. We add value to your business all year round, rather than just at tax time or during a crisis, by providing an external perspective and a detailed, impartial view of where you business is at, what is being done well, and what could be improved.
What’s the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
Your accountant will mainly focus on profit and bottom line, with a view to sorting out your financials at the end of the financial year. They won’t typically take an in-depth look at what’s going on inside your business, and in that way are not quite as invested in the same hands-on way as your bookkeeper.
Why do I need a bookkeeper?
For many people in business, figures and financials aren’t a natural part of their skill set. The processes involved are complex and admin-heavy, and even if you put the hours in, there’s still plenty of margin for error if you’re not an expert in the financial field. A bookkeeper will therefore save you time, and take away the stress associated with ensuring your books remains up-to-date and your financials are reported in such a way that will serve your business well.
I am behind in my BAS and tax; how do I get up to date?
No drama! We can get you up-to-date quickly and with ultimate accuracy. Simply provide all bank statements, receipts and invoices for the relevant dates, and we’ll cast our detailed and expert eyes over them all, methodically working through and putting all data into a format that makes sense. We’ll use the outcomes of this work to prepare the profit loss and balance sheet, which you’ll need to present to your tax agent. We aim to assist companies in the lodgement and preparation of their BAS returns on time, in a way that fulfils their legal obligations.
I'm not on Xero, can I still use your services?
Xero is just one of a number of online accounting packages commonly used by businesses and bookkeepers in Australia. It’s the central portal that captures and stores all crucial financial information, presented in a user-friendly format. It’s all about making your financials easily accessible and easy-to-understand. At Client Needs Bookkeeping we don’t just use Xero. We also use two other comparable packages, Quickbooks and MYOB. In fact, MYOB is our preferred system. We love it so much that we actually offer a discount for clients who use it. We enjoy its streamlined approach, ease-of-use and its ability to speed up every job.

While we know some businesses are still storing their financial information using their own manual systems, to work with Client Needs Bookkeeping you’ll be required to migrate to one of the three packages mentioned. We promise, you won’t regret it. And out team will even be on-hand to walk you through the process and get you up to speed with everything you need to know about your new, crucial business tool!

What are your bookkeeping service rates?
We offer a fixed-rate pricing model, ranging from $110 per month for sole traders, to $195 per month for small businesses, $390 per month for companies with up to ten employees, and $750 per month for larger companies. See our pricing page for further information about what each of these fees includes.
