Get started with outsourced accounting

How to get started with outsourced accounting

It is simpler to get started than most owners expect. You do not need tidy books or the right software in place first. Tell us where things stand today and we work out the rest with you.

What you can hand over

• Bookkeeping: a dedicated bookkeeper reconciles your accounts and sends monthly reports by the 25th.
• Accounting: monthly financial reports, accrual accounting and more complex requirements.
• Tax: income tax returns for individuals, companies, trusts and partnerships, plus GST and FBT.
• Add-ons such as bill pay, invoicing and collections when you want more taken off your desk.

Why owners choose outsourced accounting

Nearly 35% of businesses now favour outsourced accounting. It relieves you of a significant burden, reduces the time spent on non-essential tasks, and lets you focus on core business functions and profitability. You also avoid the cost of hiring, training and managing in-house finance staff.

What it costs

Bookkeeping is a fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volume: $299, $449 or $999 a month. Accounting and tax are quoted after a review of your needs, so you see the cost before any work begins. There is no yearly commitment, and services expand and contract with your business each month. See pricing for the details.

What to have ready

It helps to know roughly how many transactions go through your bank accounts each month, which accounting software you use, and how your business is structured. None of this is essential. If you are behind on your records, our historical clean-up service brings them up to date before the monthly service begins.
