Common questions
Bookkeeping and Xero FAQs.
Can you clean up a messy Xero file?
Yes. I can review the file, identify unreconciled or incorrectly coded transactions and work through the clean-up in an organised way.
Can you take over from my existing bookkeeper?
Yes. I can review the current Xero file, understand the existing process and take over with as little disruption as possible.
Do you prepare BAS as well?
Yes. Many bookkeeping clients also have their BAS and IAS prepared and lodged through 85 Accounting, providing one point of contact throughout the year.
How often should bookkeeping be completed?
That depends on transaction volume and how quickly you need current information. Weekly or monthly bookkeeping generally gives growing businesses better visibility, while smaller businesses may need a less frequent schedule.
Can I still do some of the bookkeeping myself?
Absolutely. We can divide the work so you continue handling the tasks that make sense for you, while I take care of the more technical work, reconciliations or review.
