SYDNEY BOOKKEEPER ยท DOUBLE BAY
Sydney bookkeeper for Double Bay businesses.
"Double Pay," they call it, and the Bay Street boutiques, the clinics and the professional firms all play the part perfectly. Everyone looks rich on the outside. Behind the scenes, Barry still takes his cut and sends reports that make zero sense while your actual profit hides somewhere between the prosecco fridge and the marina fees. The lifestyle is luxe. The books are anything but. And the gap is quietly widening.
Double Bay does luxe better than anywhere. The books should match the postcode. Right now they don't.
our impact
What Double Bay businesses get once Boring Barry's gone.
Actually Wealthy
Books that match the postcode. You can finally see the real profit, not just the lifestyle that implies it.
Gap Closed
The widening gap between how it looks and how it adds up, closed. The numbers tell the true story.
Every Friday
Your Xero reconciled, week in, week out. Bay Street keeps up appearances. Your books keep the facts.
what's included
Weekly Xero reconciliation
Every card payment, transfer and supplier bill from the Bay Street and Cross Street trade, reconciled every Friday. No three-month-old numbers, no guessing whether the boutique actually had a good month.
BAS lodgement, done early
GST coded properly all year, so your quarterly BAS isn't a last-minute scramble to make the numbers presentable. 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. Handled quietly so it's never the thing you're chasing on a Monday.
Accounts payable & supplier payments
The suppliers a Double Bay boutique, clinic or firm depends on, paid on time and tracked, so the relationships stay solid and the outgoings are planned, not a surprise.
Monthly P&L with Plain English Report
A two-paragraph summary that finds the profit hiding between the prosecco fridge and the marina fees, and tells you what it means. Written like a human, not a 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
Premium retail & boutiques
The fashion, jewellery and lifestyle boutiques along Bay Street and Cross Street. Real stock, real margins, supplier relationships that matter. We reconcile it weekly so you know which months actually paid.
Cosmetic & medical practices
The cosmetic clinics, dentists and specialists serving the eastern suburbs' well-heeled clientele. Recurring billing, GST, super. We handle the books so you handle the patients.
Professional & financial services
The advisers, wealth managers and boutique firms run out of the Bay Street offices. Recurring revenue, project billing, books that have to be right. We keep the admin off your desk.
Hospitality & fine dining
The established restaurants, wine bars and venues, not the pop-up. Real covers, premium supplier lists. We keep each venue's numbers clear.
Property & investment
The agencies, managers and family investment operations the suburb's full of. Multiple entities, lumpy cashflow, numbers that have to reconcile. We keep them clean and reportable.
Owners switching from a boring bookkeeper
The lifestyle looks the part but the books don't add up to it. You want weekly bookkeeping, a fixed price, and numbers that match the postcode. 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 and assumes the Bay Street polish means the books are fine. We reconcile every Friday and actually check, so the wealth on paper matches the wealth in the bank.
3
Fixed price, no surprises
Pick a Pack, that's your monthly price. No hourly meter ticking away, no mystery line items, no "Double Pay" markup, no invoice that grows the month you ask a question. You know the number before the month starts.
4
Suppliers paid on time
The premium suppliers your boutique, clinic or firm 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 actually made money, what didn't, what to watch. Barry sends a report that makes zero sense and a bill that makes even less.
6
We make the numbers match the postcode
Everything in Double Bay looks the part. The books should too, not just look rich but actually be in order, with the real profit visible instead of hidden between the prosecco fridge and the marina fees. Barry kept up appearances and nothing else.

frequently asked questions
Do you work with Double Bay businesses?
Yes. We're a Sydney bookkeeper working with premium retail and boutiques, cosmetic and medical practices, professional and financial services, fine dining and property across Double Bay and the eastern suburbs. Everything's remote and weekly, so you're not waiting on someone to drive over.
My business looks healthy. Why would I need this?
Because looking healthy and being healthy on the books are two different things. If your profit's hiding somewhere between the prosecco fridge and the marina fees, weekly reconciliation is how you actually find it.
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.
How much does a Double Bay 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, no "Double Pay" markup.
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?
Yes. We manage your accounts payable and payment runs so the premium suppliers you depend on are paid on schedule and the relationships stay solid.
Do you work with cosmetic and medical clinics?
Yes. The cosmetic clinics, dentists and specialists around Double Bay are a natural fit, recurring billing, GST and super handled, so the practice runs smoothly and you focus on the clients.
Do you work with multiple entities?
Yes. A lot of eastern-suburbs operations run a trading entity, a property entity, maybe a family trust. We keep them all reconciled and reportable so the full picture's clear.
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.
