Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I hire a bookkeeper?

There are myriad reasons to hire a bookkeeper for your business. For example, a bookkeeper will:

Help you avoid costly financial or payroll errors
Free up time for you to focus on more crucial business matters
Provide cost efficient & highly scalable services
Offer a clear & standardised method by which you can assess your financial dealings
Allow you to effortlessly fulfill all your tax obligations
Let you promptly identify cashflow issues & areas where waste can be minimised
Help you properly prepare for an audit

Whatever the nature of your business, availing yourself of the services of an accountant is a great decision.

Do I need to have my books in order before handing them over to a bookkeeper?

In short, no. Most professional bookkeepers appreciate that businesses are often too busy to have compiled a clean and meticulously detailed list of receipts. They are trained to promptly turn mess into a coherent and workable system to save their clients time and money.

Do I need a bookkeeper all year round, or just to submit my tax return?

While it’s true that bookkeepers can help you prepare your tax return, their services go beyond just tax time. Bookkeepers can assist you with day-to-day financial tasks such as invoicing, reconciling accounts and managing cash flow. By having a bookkeeper all year round, you can stay on top of your finances and make informed business decisions.

What's the difference between bookkeeping and accountancy?

Bookkeeping and accountancy are two distinct but closely related fields. Bookkeeping is the process of recording financial transactions, while accountancy involves interpreting and analysing those transactions to provide insights into a business’s financial health. Bookkeepers typically handle the day-to-day tasks of recording transactions, while accountants use that information to prepare financial statements, offer tax advice and provide strategic financial planning.

If I have bookkeeping software, do I need a bookkeeper?

While bookkeeping software can help you manage your finances, it’s not a substitute for a bookkeeper. Bookkeeping software can automate some of the tasks involved in bookkeeping, but it’s still important to have a human touch to ensure accuracy and to provide advice on financial matters. A bookkeeper can help you set up your software, ensure that transactions are recorded correctly and provide insights into your financial health that software alone cannot provide.

Can bookkeepers do payroll work?

Yes, many bookkeepers are trained in payroll processing and can help you manage your payroll. At Rochdale Accounting & Advisory, we offer dedicated payroll processing services that include staff payroll processing, superannuation contribution payment processing, employee onboarding and termination processing, worker’s compensation actual and estimate declarations and payroll tax reporting employee PAYG summaries.

What are the benefits of bookkeeping for small businesses?

Hiring a bookkeeper has numerous benefits for small businesses. First and foremost, it frees up your time so you can focus on growing your business. A bookkeeper can also help you stay on top of your finances, ensuring you have accurate records and can make informed business decisions. Having a bookkeeper can also help you avoid costly errors, fulfill tax obligations and identify areas where waste can be minimised.
