SYDNEY BOOKKEEPER ยท chatswood
Sydney bookkeeper for Chatswood businesses.
Foot traffic is absolutely smashing it with retail and food crowds pouring in every weekend, but your books look like a multilingual car-boot sale of crumpled receipts, random transfers and pure guesswork tallies. Barry can't tell one supplier invoice from the next, so your profit and loss reads more like a confused shopping list than anything resembling actual numbers. The whole operation is thriving on the outside while the inside is a glorious mess that would make even the most patient bookkeeper reach for the emergency whiskey.
Chatswood's busiest postcode deserves books that aren't held together with receipts and hope.
our impact
What Chatswood businesses get once Boring Barry's gone.
Actual Numbers
A P&L that reads like a business, not a shopping list. You can finally see what's working and what's quietly leaking.
Inbox Clear
No more supplier invoices buried in a pile nobody's touched. Bills tracked, paid on time, accounted for.
Every Friday
Your Xero reconciled, week in, week out. Chatswood never slows down. Neither do your books.
what's included
Weekly Xero reconciliation
Every card payment, transfer and supplier bill from the Victoria Avenue and Chatswood Chase trade, reconciled every Friday. No three-month-old numbers, no guessing what the weekend actually made.
BAS lodgement, done early
GST coded properly all year, so your quarterly BAS isn't a fortnight of untangling a pile of receipts. Lodged ahead of the deadline, every quarter.
Payroll run on time
Your team paid the right amount on the right day, payslips issued, super tracked against its deadlines. Quietly handled so it's never the thing you're chasing on a Monday.
Accounts payable & cashflow
Suppliers want paying on time and your revenue lands in lumps. We manage the payables and give you a weekly snapshot of what's in the bank, so the next stock order doesn't catch you short.
Monthly P&L with Plain English Report
A two-paragraph summary that turns the shopping-list numbers into something you can actually read. What happened, what it means, what to watch. No 47-page PDF.
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
Specialty retail & wholesale
The established retailers and wholesalers in and around Chatswood Chase and Westfield, real turnover, real stock, real supplier bills. We reconcile it weekly so your margin's a fact, not a feeling.
Professional & financial services
The firms in the Chatswood commercial towers, planners, brokers, consultants. Recurring revenue, project billing, books that need to be right. We keep the admin off your desk.
Medical & allied health practices
The dentists, specialists, physios and clinics along the rail corridor. Recurring billing, GST, super. We handle the books so you handle the patients.
Hospitality groups & restaurants
Not the one-table cafe, the established restaurants and groups doing real covers. We untangle the takings and supplier bills so each venue's numbers are clear.
Property & development
The agencies, managers and developers working the north shore. Multiple entities, lumpy cashflow, numbers that have to be right. We keep them reconciled and reportable.
Owners switching from a boring bookkeeper
You've had a quarter where the receipts never reconciled and the BAS was a fortnight late. You want weekly books, a fixed price, and someone who actually replies. 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 the time you read his reports, the data's months stale. We reconcile every Friday so by Monday you know exactly where you stand.
3
Fixed price. No hourly fuss
Pick a Pack, that's your monthly price. No hourly meter ticking in the background, no mystery line items, no invoice that balloons the month you ask a question. You know the number before the month starts.
4
We chase your debtors for you
The wholesale accounts on 30 days, the invoices quietly ageing, the client who always pays late. We chase the money you've earned so it actually turns up.
5
Plain English Reports
A monthly P&L with a two-paragraph summary written like a human. What happened, what it means, what to watch. Barry sends a 47-page PDF with appendices nobody opens.
6
We can handle the volume
Chatswood businesses move a lot of transactions across a lot of channels. We're built to reconcile that weekly without it turning into a quarter-end nightmare. Barry sees the volume and quietly files it under "next week."
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. One week. Done.

frequently asked questions
Do you work with Chatswood businesses?
Yes. We're a Sydney bookkeeper working with retailers, wholesalers, professional services, medical practices, hospitality groups and property businesses across Chatswood and the north shore. Everything's remote and weekly, so you're not waiting on someone to drive over.
Do you handle high transaction volume?
Yes, that's the point of weekly reconciliation. The busier you are, the more it matters that someone's matching the numbers every Friday rather than trying to reconstruct a quarter at the end of it.
Can you run payroll for my team?
Yes. We run your pay cycle on time, issue payslips, and track super against its deadlines. Quietly handled so it's never the thing you're chasing on a Monday.
How much does a Chatswood 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 debtor chasing, which is where most businesses with a team land. The Lot adds cashflow and supplier payment runs. We'll point you to the right one on the free Roast.
Can you chase my customers for unpaid invoices?
Yes. We chase your debtors, the wholesale accounts on 30 days, the invoices quietly ageing, so the money you've earned actually lands in the bank.
My books are a mess of receipts and transfers. Can you fix it?
Yes. Catch-Up Chaos Buster, fixed price. We turn the pile into a clean Xero file, get your BAS current, then keep it current with a weekly Pack.
Do you work with businesses that trade in multiple currencies or channels?
Yes. Multiple sales channels, online and in-store, payment platforms and transfers, we reconcile the lot weekly so your numbers are real rather than a best guess.
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.
