SYDNEY BOOKKEEPER ยท NORTH SYDNEY
Sydney bookkeeper for North Sydney businesses.
In the shadow of the shiny towers, running your own SMB feels like swimming with corporate sharks, yet Boring Barry still treats you like the tiniest fish in the harbour while charging you bank-level fees for spreadsheets designed in 2003. Every meeting starts with him explaining basic concepts you already understand while your actual numbers sit in a digital shoebox somewhere on his desktop. The corporate world moves at lightning speed around you, but Barry's workflow is stuck in the dial-up era and somehow still costing you a fortune.
You're surrounded by corporate towers but you're not one of them. You shouldn't be paying like one either.
our impact
What North Sydney businesses get once Boring Barry's gone.
Big League
Books that work like the big end of town's, without the big end of town's bill. You stop being treated like the smallest fish.
No Lectures
Nobody explaining EBITDA to you like you've never run a business. Just the numbers, in plain English, done properly.
Every Friday
Your Xero reconciled, week in, week out. The corporate world moves fast. Your books finally keep up.
what's included
Weekly Xero reconciliation
Every payment, supplier bill and card transaction reconciled every Friday. No digital shoebox on someone's desktop, no spreadsheet from 2003. Current numbers, every week.
BAS lodgement, done early
GST coded properly all year, so your quarterly BAS isn't a last-minute scramble. Lodged ahead of the deadline, every quarter, no drama.
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 & cashflow
Suppliers paid on time, clients on 30 and 60 days chased, and a weekly snapshot of what's in the bank. So you can make decisions on real numbers, not the bank balance and a hunch.
Monthly P&L with Plain English Report
A two-paragraph summary written for a busy owner, not an analyst. What happened, what it means, what to watch. None of Barry's "let me walk you through it" theatre.
Ad-hoc questions answered
Got a quick question about a bill, a payment 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
Professional & financial services
The brokers, advisers, consultants and boutique firms running out of the North Sydney commercial district. Recurring revenue, project billing, books that have to be right. We keep the admin off your desk.
Tech & SaaS businesses
The software and tech companies clustered around the station. Subscription revenue, multiple platforms, investors who want clean numbers. We reconcile it weekly so the picture's always current.
Agencies & creative studios
Marketing, design, media and PR shops doing real project work. Lumpy revenue, contractors to pay, a P&L you need to actually read. We give you the foundation.
Medical & specialist practices
The specialists and clinics serving the lower north shore. Recurring billing, GST, super. We handle the books so you handle the patients.
Property & development
The agencies, managers and developers working the north shore corridor. Multiple entities, lumpy cashflow, numbers that have to reconcile. We keep them clean and reportable.
Owners switching from a boring bookkeeper
You're tired of bank-level fees for 2003 spreadsheets and meetings that explain things you already know. You want weekly books, a fixed price, and someone who treats you like a grown-up. That's most of who calls us.

frequently asked questions
Do you work with North Sydney businesses?
es. We're a Sydney bookkeeper working with professional and financial services, tech and SaaS, agencies, medical practices and property businesses across North Sydney and the lower north shore. Everything's remote and weekly, so you're not waiting on someone to come up to the office.
Do you work with tech and SaaS businesses?
Yes. Subscription revenue, multiple payment platforms, the clean numbers your investors and board expect. We reconcile it weekly so the picture's always current, not reconstructed at quarter-end.
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 North Sydney 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 bank-level fees.
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, 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 clients on 30 and 60 days, the invoices quietly ageing, so the money you've earned actually turns up.
Will I get the patronising meeting treatment?
No. That's half the reason people leave Barry. We give you straight numbers in plain English and get out of your way. If you want detail, we'll go deep. If you don't, we won't waste your time.
Do you work with multiple entities?
Yes. A lot of North Sydney businesses run a trading entity, maybe a holding company or property entity. 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.
