SYDNEY BOOKKEEPER · PYRMONT
Sydney bookkeeper for Pyrmont businesses.
Media companies, tech startups and the casino's long shadow over Darling Harbour, the densest little business peninsula in Sydney. Your books should be the most disciplined operation in town. Instead they're somehow the messiest, full of mystery expenses, ghost invoices and numbers that vanish faster than a punter's winnings on a bad night at The Star. Everything around you moves at startup speed, while your accounts are still stuck on the pokies.
Pyrmont runs at startup speed. Your bookkeeping's been running at Barry speed. Those don't reconcile.
our impact
What Pyrmont businesses get once Boring Barry's gone.
Startup Speed
Books that move as fast as the businesses around you. Current numbers, not a quarter-late reconstruction.
No Ghosts
The mystery expenses and ghost invoices, found and explained. Nothing vanishes off the ledger anymore.
Every Friday
Your Xero reconciled, week in, week out. The peninsula moves fast. Your books finally match the pace.
what's included
Weekly Xero reconciliation
Every payment, platform payout and supplier bill reconciled every Friday, so a fast-moving Pyrmont business has current numbers instead of a digital shoebox to untangle at quarter-end.
BAS lodgement, done early
GST coded properly all year, so your quarterly BAS isn't a hunt for ghost invoices the week it's due. 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 contractors, platforms and suppliers a media or tech business runs on, paid on time and tracked, so the outgoings are planned and the mystery-expense problem stops at the source.
Monthly P&L with Plain English Report
A two-paragraph summary that turns startup chaos into something a busy founder can read in five minutes. What happened, what it means, what to watch. No 47-page PDF.
Ad-hoc questions answered
Got a quick question about a contractor, a platform fee 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
Tech & SaaS startups
The software businesses packed into the Pyrmont and Ultimo tech corridor. Subscription revenue, multiple platforms, investors who want clean numbers. We reconcile it weekly so the picture's always current.
Media & production companies
The broadcast, digital and production businesses the peninsula's known for. Project revenue, contractor-heavy, a P&L you actually need to read. We give you the foundation.
Professional & financial services
The agencies, advisers and boutique firms in the converted wharves and office space. Recurring revenue, project billing, books that need to be right. We keep the admin off your desk.
Digital & creative agencies
Marketing, design and digital shops doing real client work. Lumpy revenue, SaaS tools and contractors to pay, numbers that need to make sense. We keep them clean.
Hospitality & events
The established Darling Harbour and Pyrmont venues and event businesses, not the pop-up bar. Real covers, real supplier lists. We keep each one's numbers clear.
Owners switching from a boring bookkeeper
You move at startup speed and Barry moves at dial-up. You want weekly books, a fixed price, and someone who keeps pace. That's most of who calls us.
