Frequently asked bookkeeping questions

Bookkeepers bring experience and specialised knowledge when it comes to business financials. Most business owners don't know the little details when it comes to accounting, GST, BAS or payroll, and getting it wrong can be costly. At Books in a Mess, we ensure these mistakes don't happen and give you the freedom to run your business worry-free.

At Books in a Mess, we use Xero and ReceiptBank. These 2 programs have the potential to be integrated and offer a completely paperless accounting solution for small businesses. Before recommending a software, we'll sit down with you—on-site or over the phone—and discuss your needs. We'll tailor a package that is the right fit.

We certainly can! Getting behind on your quarterly BAS lodgement isn't good, but it's certainly not uncommon. Whether you've been flat-out, or you just can't get the hang of the paperwork, ensuring your BAS is up-to-date is imperative.

Call Books in a Mess ASAP. With more than 20 years' experience under our belts, we will organise and lodge your BAS and tax return. We'll even do our best to negotiate with the ATO and try get any fees or late interest waived where possible.

No. While we do offer a complete offsite service to all our clients, we're more than happy to come to your office and work with you face-to-face. Many of our Central Coast clients prefer this as it is often easier to explain and demonstrate things in person, rather than over the phone.

For our on-site clients, we service throughout the Central Coast and Lake Macquarie region. But as a remote bookkeeping service, we are equipped and experienced with handling clients from all across Australia. Contact us today to find out more.
