Why Use Us?

Clients choose us for different reasons but here are some of the advantages they find:

Availability

Availability Without the Cost

It could be said that our service is like having someone available full-time but without the cost.   We can generally respond to urgent requests imediately (depending on workload at the time). If using on-site staff you would have to employ them for the whole time you might need them or alternately book them in with no guarantee of availability.   If your on-site person only visits periodically (e.g. weekly or monthly), then you have to wait for the next visit.

No Callout Fees or Minimum Charge
We have no callout fees or minimum charge for our online work. We only charge for the hours we do and provide a summary of the work done with our monthly invoice.

Less Infrastructure
With on-site staff you need to provide the office space, the computers etc.  With our service we provide all that.

Data Backup & Maintenance
We provide off-site data backup of MYOB data.  We also ensure your MYOB data file is updated with the latest tax tables or feature updates.

No Setup Fees
There are no setup fees for our service.   We loan the server and scanner at no cost, confident that our clients will be happy with our service and use us for long enough for us to recoup the cost.

No Hidden Costs
At first an on-site employee may seem like a very cost effective option.   There are however many hidden costs such as super, leave, workers' compensation, payroll administration, office space, equipment depreciation etc.   It would not be unrealistic to add 50% to the base pay rate so for example $25ph suddenly becomes $37.50ph

Secure Remote Access
Clients can access their accounting data from home or while travelling.   Some client's have interstate offices and use this for their sales staff.

Different Service Options
Full Service: This is where we handle the entire accounting/bookkeeping process except the year end tax return.  Smaller companies tend to fall into this category.
Staff Support: This is where the business already has accounts staff and we provide extra support.   An example of this might be where the client requires a more senior person to produce the month end reports or the Business Activity Statements.   The benefit of this is that the client can employ more junior staff to do the majority of the work and  only use more qualified help when needed.
Temporary: At times clients have used us to cover work while their regular staff are away on leave.
