Clearfigure Bookkeeping Co.Tidy books. Lodged BAS. No more 11pm spreadsheet shifts.

We keep the ledger true week to week — coding, reconciling, payroll, BAS. Your accountant works from that ledger once or twice a year: tax returns, structures, advice. Good books make their job faster and their bill smaller, which is why we say your accountant will thank you. We're happy to work directly with them.

Registration with the Tax Practitioners Board is what legally allows us to prepare and lodge your BAS and IAS, and to deal with the ATO on your behalf for GST, PAYG withholding and super matters. An unregistered bookkeeper can code transactions but can't lodge. Ours also means qualifications, supervision requirements and professional indemnity insurance sit behind every lodgement.

Typically two to four weeks once we have bank feed access and your paperwork, depending on volume. We quote the whole catch-up as a fixed price first — around eight months of backlog usually lands between $1,600 and $2,600 at typical volumes — then lodge any overdue BAS in order. The ATO is far more workable when a registered agent is lodging a plan than when statements are simply missing.

No — we work in whatever keeps your books accurate, and we support MYOB files too. We recommend Xero for most WA small businesses because bank feeds, receipt capture and payroll live in one place, and our fixed fees assume that efficiency. If a migration makes sense we'll quote it separately ($750–$1,800) and you'll see why before deciding.

Honestly: about ten minutes. Photograph receipts as you get them (we set up the app), answer our short query list — usually three to six transactions we can't place — and keep your invoices going out of the same system. We handle the rest and you get the reconciled pack in the first week of the month.
