A bookkeeper, like Evolve Bookkeeping, handles essential financial tasks to keep your business running smoothly. This includes managing payroll, ensuring compliance, recording transactions, reconciling accounts, and lodging BAS.

Beyond the basics, they also provide financial support, assist with cash flow management, budgeting, and reporting, and monitor your business’s financial health.

With expertise in bookkeeping software and industry regulations, they help ensure your business remains compliant with ATO and Fair Work requirements—giving you peace of mind and more time to focus on growth.

Bookkeepers can help you and your business in several different ways, streamlining processes and just generally making your life easier. For instance, we help you to:

• Save time: By focusing on compliance and preventing serious errors when it comes to making payments

• Save money: By chasing up invoices, minimising outgoings where possible and working towards maximising your tax benefits

• Accelerate your business growth: By keeping your books up to date, you’ll be able to take control of your finances. This will help you make better business decisions and you’ll experience far less stress in the long term.

There’s nothing more freeing than financial control. It enables you to see the bigger picture and focus on making the right decisions in order to grow your business. A good bookkeeper will help your business thrive; from the moment you’re just starting out to when you grow into each exciting new phase.

An agile and experienced bookkeeper like myself can empower business owners when it comes to their finances. We give small businesses more time and energy, allowing them to focus on growing their profits.

Financial advice can give business owners peace of mind in the knowledge that their finances are up to date. They can also feel empowered to make informed financial decisions at the right times.

Many people assume that bookkeeping and accounting is the same thing. While many bookkeepers double up as accountants (or vice versa), these are two very different roles.

Bookkeepers assist you with the ongoing recording of financial transactions, while accountants make sense of this data come tax time in order to minimise your taxation and advise you on your financial situation.

It is important that your bookkeeper and accountant work together for the benefit of your business. I’m happy to work with your chosen accountant if you like, but I offer both bookkeeping and accounting services. Combining these services often means you and your business will benefit from cost and time efficiencies.

Yes, I can. In this changing world, it’s crucial that small businesses stay agile. That often means that you need an expert virtual collaborator.

Luckily, I have the systems in place to make this happen! I am based in Sydney but also offer virtual online bookkeeping services so I can stay on top of your books from afar.

Small-to-medium sized businesses and entrepreneurs can make mistakes when it comes to doing their own bookkeeping, especially when they’re first starting out or are preoccupied with running their business!

This can mean they can waste precious time and money when they’re in the midst of a critical growth phase. The biggest mistakes businesses typically make are:

• Not reconciling bank accounts regularly – this means you don’t know the state of your finances on a day-to-day basis and could be overspending or underspending

• Duplication of transactions. If you’re recording transactions twice this means that you could be making double payments to suppliers. Getting the money back is always a time-consuming task and can affect your cash flow

• Mixing personal expenses with your business expenses. If personal transactions are mixed up in your business accounts, you won’t be able to create an accurate financial representation of your business

• Not accounting for GST correctly. Some transactions include GST while others have GST-free components. This can get confusing if you’re not sure what to look for

Hiring a bookkeeper can help you avoid these critical mistakes and it takes the headache out of keeping your accounts!
