Bookkeeping: Operating in the Present
Bookkeeping is the heartbeat of the business’s present. It captures every transaction as it happens—every sale, purchase, invoice, payroll run, or bank feed reconciliation—ensuring your financial records are up to date and accurate. This function is critical because it creates the real-time visibility needed to make day-to-day decisions. Bookkeeping doesn't speculate or analyze; it reflects what is—the current financial reality of your business. It’s transactional, detail-oriented, and foundational to everything else in your financial ecosystem. Without solid bookkeeping, neither tax compliance nor financial forecasting can stand on firm ground.
Tax & Compliance: Looking to the Past
Tax and compliance work in the rearview mirror. This function gathers historical financial data—what your business has already done—to prepare reports, meet statutory obligations, and calculate taxes owed. It answers questions like: “What was our revenue last year?” “What deductions are we entitled to claim?” “What’s our profit after expenses?” These answers come from meticulous interpretation of the past, turning recorded transactions into structured reports that satisfy the ATO, auditors, lenders, and stakeholders. While tax is essential for staying compliant, it is inherently backward-looking—focused on summarising and finalising outcomes from previous activity.
CFO & Strategic Advisory: Shaping the Future
CFO services operate in the future tense. This strategic function is all about vision, anticipation, and decision-making. A CFO doesn’t just look at what happened—they ask, What’s coming? They build financial models, forecast revenue and expenses, design cash flow strategies, plan for capital investment, and align financial resources with business goals. This forward-looking lens turns raw numbers into insights, and insights into plans. Whether it’s scaling, restructuring, or navigating uncertainty, CFO support helps business owners move from reactive to proactive—guiding choices that will shape the business 6, 12, or even 24 months ahead.
OUR PARTNERS
WHO NEEDS TO
LODGE A BAS?
Did you know that nearly six million BAS are lodged every single quarter? Now, that’s a lot of paperwork.
If your business’ gross income (excluding GST of 10%) equates $75,000 or more, you must register for GST, and any business who’s registered for GST – yep, you’ve guessed it – have to lodge a BAS.
When you register for an Australian Business Number (ABN) and GST, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requires you to lodge your BAS at a time advised by them.
Then, the ATO uses the information on your BAS to work out your GST refund or bill. It’s also used for business income tax if you’re in the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) system, employee income tax, fringe benefits tax, luxury car tax, wine equalisation tax, and fuel tax credits.
