Bookkeeping is meant to make life simpler, not harder.
- Your bookkeeper goes on leave and your BAS lodgement slides past the deadline.
- You are paying for Xero, but only using a fraction of what it can do.
- Tax time turns into a scramble because the books were never properly reconciled during the year.
- These are the patterns we see most often when Brisbane business owners come to us. The fix is the same every time. Bookkeeping done well, all year, by people who also handle your tax.
A routine built around your business.
Good bookkeeping is more than entering transactions. The right scope helps you keep reliable records, answer questions while details are fresh and get useful information when you need it.
Your records are falling behind
Bank feeds, receipts and invoices can drift apart when no one owns the weekly routine. We can assess the backlog, agree a catch-up scope and then discuss a sustainable schedule for keeping the file current.
BAS and tax time bring surprises
Current reconciliations and clear transaction coding make it easier to identify questions before a lodgement is due. Our bookkeeping team can coordinate with the tax team when that work is included in your engagement.
You need a clearer view of the numbers
A reporting rhythm can help you see outstanding invoices, supplier commitments and the movement in profit and cash. We agree which reports matter to your business and when you need them.
The right bookkeeping scope, agreed in writing.
Choose the routine bookkeeping support your business needs. We confirm deliverables, responsibilities, frequency and fees before work begins. BAS and payroll can be included or engaged separately.
Regular reconciliation in Xero
Sales, purchases, and payments matched against your bank feed on an agreed schedule. Turnaround depends on the scope of work and receipt of complete records.
GST and BAS lodgement
Quarterly or monthly Business Activity Statements prepared and lodged with the ATO under the agreed scope. Meeting lodgement deadlines depends on receiving complete records and approvals in time.
Payroll and Single Touch Payroll
Weekly, fortnightly, or monthly pay runs with super, leave, and STP reporting to the ATO. From one director-employee to teams of 60+.
Accounts payable
Supplier invoices entered and payments scheduled under the agreed scope to help reduce late fees and missed early-payment discounts. Timing depends on complete records, your approvals, and available funds.
Accounts receivable
Invoices sent, payment reminders managed, and aged debtor reports each month so you always know where the cash is.
Monthly management reports
A short, readable pack each month covering profit and loss, balance sheet, and the three numbers that matter for your business.
Xero file health check
Quarterly review of your chart of accounts, integrations, and clearing accounts. We fix what is drifting before it becomes a tax-time problem.
Catch-up bookkeeping
Behind on reconciliation? We help bring the file back to current, then maintain it on an agreed schedule. Catch-up timing depends on the scope of work and receipt of complete records.

You can ask our team to handle either service on its own. Explore what is included and the information we need to get started.

Questions we hear most often.
Have a question that is not here? Call 07 3399 2300 or book a consultation and we will answer it directly.
How much does bookkeeping cost?
We quote after a discovery call. The fee depends on transaction volume, payroll headcount, BAS frequency, and the reporting cadence you need. We confirm the scope and fee in writing. BAS and payroll can also be scoped separately.
What bookkeeping work happens each month?
That depends on your written scope. A typical routine may include bank and card reconciliation, coding review, supplier and customer records, and agreed management reports. We set the frequency and who supplies or approves information before work starts.
Are BAS and payroll included in every bookkeeping package?
No. We scope BAS lodgement and payroll according to what your business needs. Either can be included in a wider bookkeeping engagement or arranged as a standalone service with its own responsibilities and fee.
What if my records are not ready to hand over?
We first look at the state of the file and identify missing reconciliations, source documents or access. Catch-up work can be quoted separately. You do not need to assume that an ongoing service can begin immediately with incomplete records.
Do I have to switch from my current accountant or bookkeeper?
No. Many of our clients start with bookkeeping while keeping their existing tax agent, or the reverse. We are happy to work alongside another firm and can transition gradually if you decide to consolidate later.
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
A bookkeeper records what has happened. A Chartered Accountant interprets it, advises on it, and lodges with the ATO. At EEA Advisory, our bookkeepers and Chartered Accountants work together, which helps us catch issues earlier and keeps your tax work connected to your day-to-day records.
Do you handle payroll and Single Touch Payroll (STP)?
Yes. We support weekly, fortnightly, and monthly pay cycles, including STP reporting and agreed super, leave, and PAYG withholding processes. Payroll can be engaged without an ongoing bookkeeping package.
Can you clean up months of behind-the-curve books?
Yes. We scope catch-up work separately and agree a timeframe based on the volume and condition of your records and when complete information is available. We can then discuss ongoing bookkeeping if you need it.
Which accounting software do you support?
Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks Online. We can advise which platform is best for your business, handle migrations if a change is the right call, and integrate add-ons like Deputy, Hubdoc, and Dext.
Where are you based, and do you work with clients outside Brisbane?
Our office is at 12/2 Loraine St, The Hub at Capalaba, Capalaba QLD 4157. We work with Brisbane, Redland City, and Bayside businesses face to face, and support clients across Australia through secure cloud workflows and video meetings.
