A clean set of accounts, prepared by a good bookkeeper, provides enormous value to business owners.

Your books should show at a glance what you owe, what you are owed, and how much cash you have available. Most cloud accounting systems will give you this “dashboard” overview, but the dashboard is only as good as the data entered.

As a business owner you need to know what you owe, what you are owed and how much cash you have available. And you need this information available at a glance at any given moment. Most cloud accounting software systems (Xero, Quickbooks, Reckon) will give you a dashboard overview with this information. But the dashboard is only as good as the data entered.

How a good bookkeeper is like gold…

A good bookkeeper will ensure the information entered into your accounting system is error-free and allocated to the correct accounts. They will be able to produce reports for you on a regular basis, and be able to interpret those reports. A great bookkeeper will produce a Business Activity Statement with correct GST allocations. And they will work closely with your accountant so you have the best possible team working towards “Better Business, Better Life”.

BJT values the close relationship it has with the bookkeepers it works with. Carolyn says, “a good bookkeeper is our link with the business.

“He or she understands the day-to-day dealings of the business, and can assist the business owner in making an informed decision.

“The ever-changing world of business compliance can be a minefield, and a good bookkeeper can give a business owner the knowledge and information to maintain their lodgement requirements”.

BJT Business Advisors offers a full business bookkeeping service, headed by fully qualified, experienced bookkeeper Carolyn Keen.
