General bookkeeping

The foundation everything else sits on. Accurate data entry, proper coding, and a tidy digital filing system — so your accounts are always current, audit-ready, and easy to make sense of.

Day-to-day Bookkeeping

Your books, done properly every single month.

Running a business is full-on. The last thing you need is a pile of receipts, a confusing Xero file, and a gnawing feeling that your numbers are nowhere near where they should be.

That’s where I come in.

I handle the day-to-day bookkeeping that keeps your business organised, compliant, and actually making sense, so you can stop worrying about the numbers and get back to the work you’re good at.

What's Included

Data Entry & Transaction Coding

Every income and expense recorded and categorised correctly.

Bank Reconciliations

Your accounts matched and balanced each month, no mystery transactions.

Digital Filing

Receipts, invoices, and documents stored and organised so nothing gets lost.

Accounts Receivable

Tracking who owes you money and following up when needed

Accounts Payable

Keeping on top of what you owe, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Monthly Review

A quick catch-up each month so you know exactly where your business stands

"The Bookwork Co has made managing our business finances so much easier. Carmen has an excellent understanding of Xero and accounting, and she’s lovely to work with. She answers my (many) questions quickly and patiently - no matter how small.

I’m relatively new to small business so Carmen lets me know of any ATO or Xero system changes before I’m aware of them. I really appreciate having support from someone so methodical and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!”

The Process

From financial chaos to clarity in four simple steps.

Discovery call

A free 20-minute chat about your business, your software setup, and where you're at. We'll be upfront about whether we're the right fit.

Systems review & quote

We log into your accounting software, review your chart of accounts, bank feeds and recent transactions, and quote a tailored package.

Onboarding & clean-up

We get authorised as your bookkeeper, tidy your chart of accounts, set up bank rules, and clear any backlog so we're starting from a clean slate.

Why it matters

Less stress. More control.

Most business owners don’t realise how far behind their books they have gotten until something forces the issue, such as an ATO letter, a BAS due date, or a bank balance that doesn’t add up.

Staying on top of your bookkeeping month by month means:

FAQs

The questions
we hear most.

Still wondering if we’re the right fit? Here’s what most business owners want to know before they get in touch.

Do I need a bookkeeper if I already have an accountant?

Yes, they do different jobs. Your accountant typically handles year-end tax and strategic advice. We handle the day-to-day: keeping your books accurate, reconciled, payroll running, and BAS lodged. When EOFY rolls around, your accountant gets clean books from us and you get a much smaller bill.
