Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's from Sunshine Coast Business Owners

What Accounting Packages Do You Support?

Accountix specialises in Xero and applications that integrate with Xero such as HubDoc, Receipt Bank, KeyPay, ServiceM8 and many others. In addition, we also assist in transitioning businesses from MYOB and Reckon across to Xero.

Can You Do Onsite Bookkeeping At My Business Premises?

Technology has reached a point where, in most cases, it is no longer necessary or efficient to do bookkeeping physically at business premises. By using online accounting software such as Xero and invoice/receipt data capture software like Hubdoc or Receipt Bank we are able to more efficiently deliver bookkeeping services. It is important to keep in mind that we are only ever a phone call, email or skype call away if you need us or have a question.

Once an online accounting system is set up and processes in place, this also means that you as a business owner are not bound to invoice customers from your premises if it is more convenient to invoice onsite. Above all, think about the time and cashflow benefits of being able to send a customer an invoice before you leave their site. No more late nights or weekends doing sales invoicing. Move your bookkeeping online to reap the rewards.

How do I know if my business needs a bookkeeper?

If you are asking this question because you feel bookkeeping has become a burden or is perhaps holding back your business, then the time is now.

Why Would I Get A Business Bookkeeper Who Services The Sunshine Coast To Do My Bookkeeping And Not My Tax Accountant?

There are 2 main points that drive this. The first and obvious one is cost. Tax accountants generally charge $200 an hour or more. A business bookkeeper servicing the Sunshine Coast will charge far less than this. The second point is that a business bookkeeper servicing the Sunshine Coast will tend to become an expert in the day to day software that businesses use, as this is where they focus their training. Tax accountants generally don’t get the time to become experts in this software as their training time is focused on unscrambling complicated tax legislation and rulings. Any time they do get to train on software is more than likely spent on learning the software they use to lodge tax returns.
