Bookkeeping and BAS Support That Fits Your Business

Small and medium businesses often reach a point where financial admin needs more consistent attention than it's getting, and that's usually when it starts causing stress. Jennifer O'Shea Bookkeeping & BAS Agent provides bookkeeping in Southport delivered entirely online, covering everyday transactions, BAS and payroll under one straightforward service. We build each package around fixed fees or hourly rates and how your business actually operates, rather than applying the same setup to every client.

Working online means you get consistent, responsive support without needing to schedule in-person meetings around a busy week. Clean-up jobs are welcome as well, for businesses whose bookkeeping or BAS has fallen behind and needs bringing up to date. If you'd like to talk through what your business needs, call us on 0438 145 476.

Bookkeeping in Southport

Keeping accurate financial records is one of those tasks that's simple in theory but easy to fall behind on without a consistent system. Our bookkeeping service handles transaction recording, bank reconciliation and accounts payable and receivable, so your figures stay accurate without you needing to chase them yourself. We typically work within whatever accounting software you already use, keeping changes to your existing setup to a minimum.

Reliable records also make life easier come tax time, whether that's managed internally or passed on to a separate accountant. Each client's bookkeeping is set up individually, reflecting how their business actually operates day to day. Fixed-fee or hourly pricing is agreed before any work starts.

BAS in Southport

Preparing a BAS involves reporting GST, PAYG withholding and other tax obligations to the ATO within a required timeframe. Our BAS service takes care of the full process, checking figures against your bookkeeping records before anything is submitted. Being a registered BAS Agent means lodgment is completed with the appropriate authority, whether your business reports monthly, quarterly or annually.

We'll let you know ahead of time what documentation is needed for each lodgment, so there's no last-minute scramble. Getting BAS right consistently also lowers the chance of the ATO following up with questions afterwards. It's a recurring obligation handled entirely on your behalf.

Payroll in Southport

Payroll covers PAYG withholding, superannuation contributions and accurate leave and entitlement tracking, well beyond simply paying wages each cycle. We manage every pay run, making sure staff are paid correctly and that reporting to the ATO is completed on schedule. Payslips and records are kept organised and accessible, which matters if a query comes up or records need to be reviewed later.

Payroll is handled alongside your broader bookkeeping with us, so everything comes from one consistent set of financial information. Fixed-fee or hourly pricing applies here as well, keeping costs predictable from one pay cycle to the next.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are the questions Southport business owners raise most often when weighing up bookkeeping, BAS and payroll support. If there's something else you need to know, call 0438 145 476.

How much time does bookkeeping typically take for a small business?

The time required depends on the size of the business and the volume of transactions involved, though regular, smaller updates are generally more manageable than infrequent large catch-ups. Outsourcing bookkeeping removes this time commitment from the business owner entirely.

What's the risk of lodging a BAS incorrectly?

An incorrect BAS lodgment can lead to follow-up queries from the ATO, delays, or the need to submit a revision. Working with a registered BAS Agent helps reduce this risk through accurate preparation before lodgment.

Are payroll records required to be kept for a set period?

Yes, employers are generally required to keep payroll records for several years under Australian workplace law. Well-organised payroll systems make it far easier to retrieve these records if they're ever needed.
