HELPING AUSTRALIAN SMALL BUSINESSES GET THEIR BOOKS RIGHT, STAY COMPLIANT, AND SEE THEIR NUMBERS CLEARLY. I'm an Australian Chartered Accountant with 30+ years of experience, a Xero Gold Partner, and a Xero Level 3 Certified Specialist Advisor. I'm also a registered BAS agent and ASIC agent, so your compliance is in qualified hands. Rated 5.0 across 150+ Upwork reviews, with a 100% Job Success Score and Top Rated Plus status. WHAT I DO ✔ Bookkeeping & BAS — day-to-day coding, reconciliations, and BAS preparation and lodgement support within my BAS-agent scope ✔ Xero setup, clean-ups & automation — chart of accounts, bank rules, and streamlined coding that can dramatically cut your bookkeeping time ✔ Monthly & quarterly reporting — profit & loss, balance sheet, and cash flow in plain English, so you actually know how the business is tracking ✔ Virtual CFO — budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and a senior finance brain without the senior finance salary ✔ ASIC & company compliance — ASIC agent support for routine company compliance and filings ✔ Overseas businesses entering Australia — entity setup, registration, and getting your Australian accounting right from day one ✔ Second opinions, due diligence & forensic accounting — untangling messy files, court reports, and pre-acquisition reviews WHY CLIENTS KEEP COMING BACK I've spent three decades inside Australian small businesses, so I don't just process transactions — I spot what's wrong, explain what the numbers mean, and fix the system so the problem doesn't come back. ONE THING TO KNOW I no longer lodge income tax returns, but I do help make the process easier by keeping your books clean, reconciled, and ready for your tax agent. I stay current with Australian company tax law and can flag issues to discuss with your tax adviser where needed. Ready to sort out your books? Send me a message and let's talk about what you need. I also offer a 30-minute consultation if you'd like to scope a job first.
