What is bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is the process of recording and reporting information on an organisation’s financial activities. During this process, important information on sales, expenses, assets and liabilities are recorded.​​

Good bookkeeping practices mean your business maintains accurate records - so there are no discrepancies between what your business does, and what your business reports.​

Why do I need to hire a bookkeeper?

Why would you need someone to record and keep track of your finances, rather than do it yourself? ​​

Alongside the legal requirements to accurately file these records with the ATO so you pay the proper amount of BAS, a key benefit is you have someone keeping track of your money. This way, you can be sure you’re not spending outside your means. ​​

This is especially important if you’re a small business owner, as it can be difficult to keep track of everything when you're wearing all the hats. Give yourself one less headache, and save yourself some admin time.​

BAS returns

We prepare your BAS returns ready for you to review and pay. We also remind you of when and how much to pay.

See what our customers say

We spoke to lots of firms, looking for someone who understood small business and would take the time to get to know us. Julian solidified our choice; he’s a good listener, he didn’t talk over me, and offered valuable information. I always get a friendly response from the support team straight away and get extra info that I actually need.

Beany means I don’t have to deal with the headache of bookkeeping and accounting. I can go in at any time and see how we’re doing, whereas typical accountants wouldn’t interact with you until year-end. Everything is straightforward and uncomplicated. With Beany, you describe what you need and you can get it.

When I started InfluenceWorks, I felt confident within my industry knowledge, but super under confident around the financial side of things. My Beany accountant went above and beyond, giving me step by step instructions on everything I needed to set up and even giving me super helpful tips about things outside of the financial realm.

Getting set up on Beany was simple and painless, they even took care of the switch for us. Our accountant Jenny never hesitates to get involved or come up with solutions or advice for new or different scenarios that seem to regularly pop up. Unlike experiences with larger firms, we’ve always felt we get value for money; Beany isn’t low touch, low cost.

Lachie CampbellLachie CampbellDirector, Latitude Commodities

Accounting is like a chore to me. Using Beany means I’m still in control, but when I have a question it gets answered straight away. It’s all so seamless. Even though Beany is all online, I have a connection with my accountant, Rebecca. She makes me feel like family. Beany is easy, hassle-free, and always a step ahead.
