What does a bookkeeper do for a small business?
A bookkeeper keeps your accounts accurate and up to date reconciling transactions, managing GST returns, processing invoices and payments, and preparing reports. This gives you clear visibility of your finances without the admin stress.
How is bookkeeping different from accounting?
Bookkeeping is about keeping your financial records tidy and accurate every day. Accounting uses those records to prepare annual accounts, lodge tax returns, and give strategic advice. Bookkeeping lays the foundation that makes your accountant’s work faster, easier, and less costly.
Do I need a bookkeeper if I already use Xero?
Yes. While Xero makes bookkeeping easier, it still relies on transactions being coded correctly. If things are entered in the wrong place, it can create errors in your GST returns, reports, or end-of-year accounts. Having an experienced bookkeeper ensures everything is coded accurately, saving you from costly mistakes later.
Can you help if my Xero file is messy or out of date?
Absolutely. We can do a clean-up to get everything reconciled and accurate, then put simple systems in place to keep it that way going forward.
What does GST support include?
We’ll make sure GST is calculated correctly, returns are filed on time, and you stay compliant with IRD requirements without the last-minute panic.
How often should bookkeeping be done?
It depends on your business, but most small businesses benefit from monthly bookkeeping. This keeps reconciliations, GST, and reporting current, while preventing small issues from snowballing into big problems.
How much does bookkeeping support cost?
It varies depending on what you need. Some clients only want monthly reconciliations and GST filing, while others need invoicing, debtor follow-up, and detailed reporting. We’ll scope your requirements and create a package that fits your business.
Do I need to be good with numbers to work with you?
Not at all that’s our job! We’ll keep the numbers accurate and explain things in plain English, so you can focus on running your business.
Can you support businesses outside of Auckland or NZ?
We work with small businesses across New Zealand, from Auckland to the regions. Because NZ tax rules are specific, our bookkeeping and GST support is designed for NZ-based businesses only.
I’m a brand new business can you set up my Xero and train me?
Yes. We can help you set up Xero from scratch, customise it to suit your business, and show you how to use it with confidence. From invoicing and coding transactions to understanding GST, we’ll make sure you feel comfortable managing the essentials while knowing support is on hand if you need it.
Do you offer local support in Silverdale?
Yes. Most Xero bookkeeping is done virtually, which keeps things simple and efficient. However, because we’re based near Silverdale, there’s also the option for an in-person catch-up if you need one. That way you get the convenience of remote support, with the reassurance that face-to-face is possible when it really matters.
