SYDNEY BOOKKEEPER ยท BONDI
Sydney bookkeeper for BONDI businesses.
Campbell Parade buzzing, the beach packed, business booming, and your books running on the same "she'll be right" energy as a broken surfboard after a big swell. The waves are consistent. Your numbers are not. The beach vibe is strong, but the actual figures are washing out to sea faster than the tide, and Barry is nowhere near paddling out to catch them.
Bondi runs on 'she'll be right.' Your BAS does not. The tide waits for no one and neither does the ATO.
our impact
What Bondi Junction get once Boring Barry's gone.
Actually Right
Not "she'll be right." Genuinely right. Books reconciled, BAS lodged, numbers you can trust.
Nothing Drifts
The figures that used to wash out to sea, anchored. Tracked weekly, nothing lost to the tide.
Every Friday
Your Xero reconciled, week in, week out. The swell's unpredictable. Your books don't have to be.
what's included
Weekly Xero reconciliation
Every card payment, transfer and supplier bill from the Campbell Parade and Hall Street trade, reconciled every Friday. No three-month-old numbers, no guessing what a sunny summer Saturday actually took.
BAS lodgement, done early
GST coded properly all year, so your quarterly BAS isn't a fortnight of reconstructing a summer of beach trade. Lodged ahead of the deadline, every quarter, "she'll be right" replaced with "it's already done."
Payroll run on time
Your team paid the right amount on the right day, payslips issued, super tracked against its deadlines. Handled quietly so it's never the thing you're chasing on a Monday after a big weekend.
Accounts payable & supplier payments
The suppliers a Bondi venue, studio or clinic depends on, paid on time and tracked, so the relationships stay solid and the outgoings are planned, not a surprise after a quiet winter week.
Monthly P&L with Plain English Report
A two-paragraph summary that tells you what the summer made and what the winter cost. Written like a human, not a 47-page PDF that drifts off unread.
Ad-hoc questions answered
Got a quick question about a supplier, a bill or a pay run? Ask, and we'll get you a proper answer the same working day. No "I'll get to it next quarter."
who it's for
Established hospitality & venues
The proper Campbell Parade and Hall Street restaurants, bars and beach venues, not the one-person juice cart. Real covers, busy summers, real supplier lists. We keep the numbers clear through the seasonal swing.
Fitness & wellness studios
The gyms, yoga, pilates and wellness studios Bondi's famous for. Membership revenue, recurring billing, GST. We keep the books current so you focus on the floor, not the spreadsheet.
Cosmetic & medical practices
The cosmetic clinics, dermatologists, dentists and allied health serving the eastern beaches. Recurring billing, GST, super. We handle the books so you handle the patients.
Premium retail & lifestyle
The surf, fashion and lifestyle retailers between the beach and the shops. Real stock, seasonal swings, supplier relationships that matter. We reconcile it weekly so the margin's real.
Property & real estate
The agencies and managers working the eastern beaches market. Multiple entities, lumpy cashflow, numbers that have to reconcile. We keep them clean and reportable.
Owners switching from a boring bookkeeper
The business is booming but the books run on "she'll be right." You want weekly bookkeeping, a fixed price, and numbers you can actually trust. That's most of who calls us.
why us
1
We actually reply
Message us before 1pm on a working day and we'll get back to you the same day. Not a full essay every time, but a real human acknowledging you and sorting it. Boring Barry replies in four days, if he replies at all.
2
Weekly Xero, not monthly guesswork
Barry reconciles quarterly, if you're lucky, by which point the data's drifted further out than a longboard on a rip. We reconcile every Friday so by Monday you know exactly what the weekend made.
3
Fixed price, no surprises
Pick a Pack, that's your monthly price. No hourly meter ticking away, no mystery line items, no invoice that grows the month you ask a question. You know the number before the month starts.
4
Suppliers paid on time
The suppliers your venue, studio or clinic runs on, paid on schedule so the relationships stay solid and the outgoings are planned. We run the payables so you don't
5
Plain English Reports
A monthly P&L with a two-paragraph summary written like a human. What the summer made, what the winter cost, what to watch. Barry sends a 47-page PDF nobody opens.
6
We get the seasonal swing
A packed January and a dead-quiet July are not the same business, and your books shouldn't treat them like they are. We build your reporting around the swing so a slow winter doesn't read like a crisis and a huge summer doesn't fool you into overspending. Barry treats every month the same and gets every month wrong.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. One week. Done.

frequently asked questions
Do you work with Bondi businesses?
Yes. We're a Sydney bookkeeper working with hospitality and venues, fitness and wellness studios, cosmetic and medical practices, premium retail and property across Bondi and the eastern beaches. Everything's remote and weekly, so you're not waiting on someone to find a park near the beach.
Do you handle seasonal businesses with a big summer and quiet winter?
Yes, and it's one of the things Bondi businesses most need. We build your reporting around the swing so a packed summer and a quiet July read correctly, and the lean months don't catch you short.
Can you run payroll for my team?
Yes. We run your pay cycle on time, issue payslips, and track super against its deadlines. Handled quietly so it's never the thing you're chasing on a Monday after a big weekend.
How much does a Bondi bookkeeper cost?
A fixed monthly fee, priced by your team size. BAS Slayer starts at $900, Payroll Party at $1,500, The Lot at $2,200, and the price steps up by staff band from there. Same number every month, plus GST. No hourly meter.
Which Pack is right for me?
BAS Slayer suits simpler operations that mainly need the books and BAS done. Payroll Party adds payroll and supplier payments, where most businesses with a team land. The Lot adds cashflow and full supplier payment runs. We'll point you to the right one on the free Roast.
Can you make sure my suppliers get paid on time?
BAS Slayer suits simpler operations that mainly need the books and BAS done. Payroll Party adds payroll and supplier payments, where most businesses with a team land. The Lot adds cashflow and full supplier payment runs. We'll point you to the right one on the free Roast.
Do you work with fitness and wellness studios?
Yes. Membership and recurring revenue, GST, the lot. We keep the books current so you focus on the floor, not the spreadsheet. It's one of the most common Bondi businesses we work with.
My books run on "she'll be right." Can you fix that?
Yes. Catch-Up Chaos Buster, fixed price. We get the backlog sorted and the BAS current, put a real system in place, then keep it current with a weekly Pack so "she'll be right" becomes "it's already done."
How quickly can you start?
Within a week of you saying yes. We diagnose the file, quote your Pack, take over, and the first weekly reconciliation lands that Friday.
What if I'm not happy?
30-day money back, no questions. If we haven't earned our spot in your first month, we refund it in full and help you find someone else.
