If you need a bookkeeper who gets it right the first time - and does it the way your accountant needs it done, saving you accounting fees and angst - you’ve found her. If you don’t have an accountant, or don’t like your old one, I can also lodge your tax returns, BAS and assist with the many other compliance obligations that come with running an Australian small business. I also work with E-commerce businesses ensuring the right info is flowing through to the Xero file to enable fuss free bank reconciliations and performance monitoring. I’m easy to work with, responsive, and my tax background gives me the edge when it comes to good bookkeeping. 20+ years in public accounting means I'm ready to solve whatever problems you need, when you need it. Hope to work together soon, Bec
