Common questions

Childcare and early learning accounting FAQs.

Do you work with small centres and family day care providers?

Yes. I work with sole traders, family day care educators, small operators and established centre-based services.

Can you help with payroll setup and reporting?

Yes. I can help with Xero payroll setup, troubleshooting, STP finalisation, super and payroll reconciliations.

Can you work with my centre manager or bookkeeper?

Yes. With your authority, I can work with the people already involved in the service so bookkeeping, payroll, reporting and annual compliance remain coordinated.

Can you help me understand staffing and wage costs?

Yes. Where the records allow, reporting can be structured to provide clearer visibility over wages, super, occupancy, revenue and other major operating costs.

Can you help if the service operates through a company or trust?

Yes. I can assist with annual accounts, tax returns and the ongoing tax and compliance obligations for the entity and related individuals.

Do you work with clients outside Brisbane?

Yes. I am based in Albany Creek and work with childcare and early learning providers across Australia using secure cloud software, phone and video meetings.
