Beany's Starter Pack

It’s a big deal to set up and run your own business, but more and more Australians are doing it. And for good reason, you can gain a lot from going out on your own – more flexibility, being your own boss, or fulfilling a lifelong dream.

Whatever your why, it’s still not easy. No good thing is. Maybe you’re still in the idea phase, you’ve literally just started, or you’re a few months in. You’re great at what you do. One of the best. But you don’t know what you don’t know. Compliance, chart of accounts, registering your company name, structures, BAS, year-end, marketing, systems…

You can’t escape it – there’s loads to consider. But don’t worry, Beany has got your back with our Starter Pack.

They will offer the best way forward and if we're a good fit for each other. The next step is to choose a package that suits your business needs. Remember all of our packages are fixed monthly fees so there’s no surprises.

We combine the latest accounting cloud technology with a reassuring helping of human interaction. Our Beanies are there for you to keep things running smoothly and guide you through the tough stuff.   
Once you've finished your ID checks and ATO authorities, our team will be busy in the background getting connected with the Australian Tax Office.If you had any third parties who needed to do ID checks or get ATO authorities, we'll need to have these complete before we're able to work as your accountant. Once completed, you'll receive an email introducing you to your new accountant along with a link to book a meeting with them to discuss your business goals.
Beany will give you support on any tax and accounting questions as part of your package. We are here to help.  And should you require some out-of-scope work, such as preparing a cash flow summary for the bank, or working through a specific tax issue, we will let you know any extra cost before we start.You can call and email our Customer Support desk as often as you like.

This is because the monthly payment you make is actually the total cost for the year, split into 12 monthly payments, as a payment plan.We operate like this to give you certainty about the cost of your compliance, and to smooth cashflow for your business rather than a big bill at the end of each period.
