Bookkeeping & BAS FAQs for Small Businesses in Perth
Frequently Asked Questions
I am not in Perth, can I still work with you?
Everything I do is 100% remote which means I can work with businesses all over Australia.
We’ll use secure cloud-based tools to share documents and files, and we’ll stay in touch by email, phone calls or video calls.
Working remotely means you don’t need to worry about office space or in-person catch-ups, I have secure systems in place so you can easily upload receipts and documents anytime.
If you’re local and prefer to meet face to face at the start, I’m happy to make that happen too.
How much does a bookkeeper cost?
My standard rate is $65 per hour for bookkeeping, BAS support and payroll.
How much support you need depends on your transaction volume, whether you have staff etc. Some clients need a light monthly tidy-up, others need 5–10+ hours a week of dedicated support - including payroll, reconciliations and reporting. We can discuss this in detail during your initial call.
I'm really behind on my books - can you help?
Yes - this is one of the most common reasons clients come to us. We run dedicated Catch-Up & Clean-Up projects for businesses that are anywhere from a few months to a few years behind. We'll get you back up to date and compliant again.
Can you lodge my BAS?
Yes, I prepare and lodge BAS under the supervision of a registered BAS agent, so you can feel confident your lodgements are accurate and compliant.
Do you work with businesses that have employees / payroll?
Yes - payroll management (pay runs, STP, super) is one of our core services, and we regularly bundle it with ongoing bookkeeping for businesses with growing teams.
Can you take over bookkeeping fully, so I never have to think about it?
Yes - that's exactly what our ongoing retainer clients get. Once onboarded, we manage reconciliations, coding, reporting and (if needed) payroll on a set weekly or fortnightly rhythm, so it's off your plate for good.
What does 'under supervision' mean?
In Australia, bookkeepers who want to become registered BAS Agents must complete a minimum number of hours lodging BAS under the supervision of an already registered BAS Agent, this is a Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) requirement to ensure every BAS Agent has real-world experience before they can apply independently.
While I already have the skills and qualifications to do the work, lodging your BAS under supervision helps me meet this official experience requirement, with the added benefit that you get an extra layer of quality assurance if needed. It doesn’t change how I deliver your work day-to-day, it’s simply part of meeting Australian industry standards for full BAS Agent registration.
