Bookkeeping questions we get asked a lot
What does a bookkeeper do for a small business?
A bookkeeper handles all of your day-to-day business financials: from reconciliations and GST returns to chasing invoices and running payroll. Their job is to give you clean, timely, well-structured data so that you have clarity to grow your business with confidence. An accountant then uses this to file your annual accounts and advise on tax.
Get the bookkeeping right, and you save time and money. Messy books mean more billable time for the accountant to clean it all up. We believe your accountant, bookkeeper and advisor should be connected, so you avoid any mess. That’s why we take a whole-business approach, helping you make decisions with clarity, not just tick boxes at year-end.
What is included in bookkeeping services?
At Bring On Monday our bookkeeping service covers managing all your receipts and records (so you don’t need to store them anymore!), bank reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable, payroll, GST returns and monthly reporting so you can clearly see where your business actually sits. Plus, you get your own personal bookkeeper you communicate with 1-on-1, as and when you need, all for a fixed monthly fee, so the scope of work is agreed before work starts, rather than you being billed by the hour.
At Bring On Monday, we build your bookkeeping around your business strategy. So instead of stressing about receipts or reconciling transactions, you get the insights to grow your business, improve cashflow, and stay ahead.
Should I outsource my bookkeeping?
This all depends on how you value your time. Up to date books and accurate numbers are extremely important because these are what you build the rest of your business on and what you use to make decisions accurately throughout the year. Doing it yourself is cheap, until it’s not because you have to pay a separate bookkeeper and accountant to tidy up.
In our eyes, you didn’t go into business to chase receipts or tidy up transactions, instead you should be spending your time doing what you do best, then outsource the rest. Quite often bookkeepers work by themselves, but at Bring On Monday we have your bookkeeper, accountant and business advisor under one roof so we have all the technical support you need, just a phone call or email away.
