SYDNEY BOOKKEEPER ยท MAROUBRA
Sydney bookkeeper for MAROUBRA businesses.
Established trades, local venues and businesses built on handshake deals and decades of trust, the real, working eastern beaches. Meanwhile Barry keeps sending invoices to the address you moved out of three years ago, like he's allergic to updating the database. The locals know the score. Barry clearly doesn't, and it shows in every report. The beach is relaxed. Your books are stressed.
Maroubra runs on trust and handshake deals. Barry runs on an address you left in 2022. Time for an upgrade.
our impact
What Maroubra businesses get once Boring Barry's gone.
Right Details
Books that actually have your current address, your real numbers, your business as it is now. Not as it was three years ago.
No Stress
The relaxed beach energy, finally extended to the back office. Books sorted, nothing nagging at you.
Every Friday
Your Xero reconciled, week in, week out. Maroubra takes it easy. Your books still turn up on time.
what's included
Weekly Xero reconciliation
Every job payment, card transaction and supplier bill from the Maroubra Junction and Anzac Parade trade, reconciled every Friday. No three-month-old numbers, no reconstructing the quarter from memory.
BAS lodgement, done early
GST coded properly all year, so your quarterly BAS isn't a scramble. Lodged ahead of the deadline, every quarter, to your actual details, not an address you left years ago.
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 and subbies a Maroubra trade or venue depends on, paid on time and tracked, so the handshake relationships stay solid and the outgoings are planned.
Monthly P&L with Plain English Report
A two-paragraph summary that tells you which jobs and which weeks actually paid. Written like a human, not a 47-page PDF posted to your old address.
Ad-hoc questions answered
Got a quick question about a job, a supplier 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 trades & construction
The builders, electricians, plumbers and trades who've worked the eastern beaches for years and built real businesses on it. Job-by-job numbers, subbies and suppliers to pay. We handle the Xero, the BAS, the lot.
Local hospitality & venues
The proper pubs, clubs and restaurants serving the Maroubra locals, not the weekend pop-up. Real covers, steady supplier lists. We keep the numbers clear.
Medical & allied health practices
The clinics, dentists, physios and specialists serving the eastern beaches families. Recurring billing, GST, super. We handle the books so you handle the patients.
Professional services & consultancies
The advisers, agencies and boutique firms run by people who'd rather be near the beach than in the CBD. Recurring revenue, project billing, clean books. We keep the admin off your desk.
Retail & local services
The established retailers and service businesses along Anzac Parade and around the Junction. Real stock, real supplier bills. We reconcile it weekly so the margin's a fact.
Owners switching from a boring bookkeeper
You've put up with the wrong address and the 3-day reply times because that's just how it's always been. You want weekly books, a fixed price, and someone who keeps your details straight. 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, to the wrong address.
2
Weekly Xero, not monthly guesswork
Barry reconciles quarterly, if you're lucky, by which point the numbers are as out of date as his record of where your business actually is. We reconcile every Friday so by Monday you know exactly where you stand.
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 and subbies your business runs on, paid on schedule so the handshake relationships that built your business stay solid. 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. Which jobs paid, which didn't, what to watch. Barry sends a 47-page PDF to an address you haven't lived at in years.
6
We actually keep your details straight
Your current address, your real entity, your actual numbers, kept right and kept current. Sounds basic, and it is, which is exactly why it's so telling that Barry can't manage it. We get the fundamentals right so you can trust everything built on top of them.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. One week. Done.

frequently asked questions
Do you work with Maroubra businesses?
Yes. We're a Sydney bookkeeper working with trades and construction, hospitality, medical and allied health, professional services and retail across Maroubra and the eastern beaches. Everything's remote and weekly, so you're not waiting on someone to drive over.
Do you handle job-based bookkeeping for trades?
Yes. We reconcile your Xero weekly and keep the picture job by job, so you can see which jobs actually made money and which quietly bled. The thing a handshake and a good memory will never quite manage.
Can you run payroll for my team?
Yes. We reconcile your Xero weekly and keep the picture job by job, so you can see which jobs actually made money and which quietly bled. The thing a handshake and a good memory will never quite manage.
How much does a Maroubra 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?
Yes. We manage your accounts payable and payment runs so the suppliers and subbies you depend on are paid on schedule and the handshake relationships stay solid.
Will you actually keep my business details up to date?
Yes, and it's a low bar that Barry somehow trips over. Current address, correct entity details, accurate records, kept right so everything built on top of them is right too.
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 it doesn't slide again.
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.
