Recent FAQ’s
Bookkeeper vs accountant. What is the difference? You probably refer to your bookkeeper as your accountant, however, the two are very different.
Your businesses requires accurate and timely accounting information so you can make informed business decisions. This information is prepared and documented by bookkeepers FOR accountants.
Your bookkeeper will focus on daily/weekly/monthly accounting tasks, providing information, but usually not opinions.
The accountant will oversee the work performed by the bookkeeper and will provide you with analysis and interpretation of the information generated by the bookkeeper.
You bookkeeper will work closely with you, often interacting with you or your staff daily. This provides your bookkeepers with a unique insight into your business, making them a key business advisor for most businesses. On the other hand, an external accountant may only interact with your business once or twice during the year (usually at tax time). They may not know the business as intimately as the person maintaining your books.

We are often asked what is the best free accounting software in Australia. Unfortunately, for most businesses free accounting software can end up being very expensive.
Free Accounting Software in Australia
For a handful of clients we have use Wave, which is a free Canadian accounting package. We have found that for most businesses it is not adequate, as it does not handle Australian GST very well, BAS returns need to be completed manually and it does not deal with superannuation at all. We also found the level of support when things went wrong to be non-existent. Not getting support when you need it can cost your business dearly. It is for this reason that we have moved away from Wave.
Your business software really is the core of your business and like most things, you do get what you pay for. While not free, we recommend and use Xero for most businesses that we work with. We can provide Xero for as little as $5 per month to regular clients, depending on their requirements.
Contact us and we’ll help you find a system that works for you.
