Sound familiar?
The tools are packed away.
The paperwork isn’t.
The glovebox filing system
Receipts, fuel dockets and invoices stuffed wherever they landed. Good luck finding that one from March.
Sunday night admin
The week’s done, but you’re back on the laptop trying to work out who’s paid and who hasn’t.
BAS panic
The due date’s coming and you’re not sure where the numbers are, let alone what they say.
Mixed-up spending
Business and personal all through the same account, and no clear idea what you’re really making.
How we help
We handle the bookkeeping,
you handle the job.
Clear, regular support so your records stay up to date and your BAS never sneaks up on you.
Monthly bookkeeping
Your transactions recorded, reconciled and organised in Xero, so your books are current every month, not just at tax time.
BAS without the scramble
Registered tax agents keeping an eye on your reporting, so deadlines get handled and you’re not guessing.
Numbers you can use
Know what’s coming in, what’s going out and what’s left, in plain English rather than accountant-speak.

Solo, or a growing crew?
Your package depends on how busy your accounts are: how many transactions, how many accounts and whether you have staff on the payroll.
Behind on your books? We’ll look at where you’re at and quote any catch-up work separately, before we start.
Need payroll, tax forecasting or your tax return done too? Just ask. Additional services are quoted separately.

Works with your accountant
Already have an accountant? Keep them. We’ll work alongside them and keep the paperwork flowing.
FAQs
Questions tradies
often ask.
Is $165 a month the final price?
Monthly packages start at $165. The right package depends on things like how many transactions you have, how many accounts you use and whether you employ staff. We’ll confirm the price and what’s included before we start.
I’m a sole trader. Is that okay?
Yes. Plenty of tradies start out as sole traders, and our packages are built around small, hands-on businesses as well as growing crews.
My books are months behind. Can you catch me up?
Yes. We’ll review your records and quote any catch-up work separately before we start, so there are no surprises.
I already have an accountant. Can I still use Bookflow?
Yes. We can look after your bookkeeping and BAS while working alongside your existing accountant, and organised records often make their job easier too.
What if I have apprentices or employees?
Payroll support is available. We’ll talk through your staff and pay cycles on your intro call and confirm the right package.
Do I need Xero?
We’re Xero certified specialists and can set up and manage your books in Xero. Software subscription fees aren’t included in our package price.
