SYDNEY BOOKKEEPER ยท STRATHFIELD
Sydney bookkeeper for Strathfield businesses.
Restaurants packed past midnight, education centres running till all hours, and suppliers invoicing in four different languages Barry can't even pronounce, let alone reconcile in Xero. Your books are a glorious multicultural mess of receipts, screenshots and invoices that arrived via a family WhatsApp group. The vibe around the station is vibrant and the chaos is delicious, but the numbers are crying out for someone who actually keeps up.
Strathfield never sleeps and neither do its receipts. Someone has to keep up. It isn't Barry.
our impact
What Strathfield businesses get once Boring Barry's gone.
Finally Tracked
Every receipt, transfer and invoice captured, whatever language it landed in. No more glorious mess, just numbers that add up.
Nothing Missed
Suppliers paid on time, bills accounted for, nothing lost in the WhatsApp group. The chaos, organised.
Every Friday
Your Xero reconciled, week in, week out. The hub around the station never slows down. Neither do your books.
what's included
Weekly Xero reconciliation
Every card payment, bank transfer and supplier bill from the restaurant strip and the businesses around Strathfield station, reconciled every Friday. No three-month-old numbers, no guessing what a busy weekend brought in.
BAS lodgement, done early
GST coded properly all year, even across the mix of suppliers and channels a Strathfield business juggles, so your quarterly BAS isn't a fortnight of untangling screenshots. 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 after a late night of service.
Accounts payable & cashflow
The long supplier list a Strathfield kitchen or store runs on, paid on time, every time. We manage the bills and payment runs so suppliers stay happy and nothing slips through in the rush.
Monthly P&L with Plain English Report
A two-paragraph summary that turns the multicultural mess into numbers 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 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
Established restaurants & hospitality groups
The proper restaurants and venues packing out the strip, not the single food-court stall. Long supplier lists, real covers, books that need keeping up. We reconcile it weekly so each venue's numbers are clear.
Education & training centres
The tutoring colleges, language schools and training businesses Strathfield's known for. Recurring enrolments, term-based cashflow, GST. We keep the books current so you focus on the students.
Professional & financial services
The advisers, brokers and firms serving the inner-west business community. Recurring revenue, project billing, books that need to be right. We keep the admin off your desk.
Medical & allied health practices
The clinics, dentists and specialists around the station precinct. Recurring billing, GST, super. We handle the books so you handle the patients.
Retail & wholesale
The established retailers and import/wholesale businesses moving real stock through the inner west. Payables, supplier bills, decent invoice values. We reconcile the lot weekly.
Owners switching from a boring bookkeeper
You've had a quarter where the receipts never reconciled and the BAS was late. You want weekly books, a fixed price, and someone who keeps up with the pace. 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, long after the dinner rush is over.
2
Weekly Xero, not monthly guesswork
Barry reconciles quarterly, if you're lucky, by which point the data's older than last term's enrolments. 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 long list of suppliers a Strathfield kitchen or store depends on, paid on schedule so the relationships stay solid and nothing gets missed in the rush. 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 happened, what it means, what to watch. Barry sends a 47-page PDF with appendices nobody opens.
6
We keep up with the chaos
Receipts in four languages, invoices via WhatsApp, suppliers nobody's reconciled in months. We're built to capture and reconcile that every week instead of letting it pile into a quarter-end nightmare. Barry sees the mess and quietly files it under "next week."
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. One week. Done.

frequently asked questions
Do you work with Strathfield businesses?
Yes. We're a Sydney bookkeeper working with restaurants and hospitality, education and training centres, professional services, medical practices and retail across Strathfield and the inner west. Everything's remote and weekly, so you're not waiting on someone to come to the office.
Can you handle a long, messy supplier list?
Yes, it's one of the most common Strathfield problems we sort. The kitchens and stores here run on a long list of suppliers, and we keep the bills tracked and paid on time so nothing slips through in the rush.
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 after a late service.
How much does a Strathfield 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.
Do you work with education and training centres?
Yes. Term-based enrolments, recurring fees, GST and the lumpy cashflow that comes with the academic calendar. We keep the books current so you can focus on the students, not the spreadsheet.
My receipts arrive in different languages and via WhatsApp. Is that a problem?
Not at all, it's standard around here. We capture and reconcile whatever lands, however it lands, so the glorious multicultural mess turns into a clean Xero file every week.
Can you make sure my suppliers get paid on time?
Yes. We manage your accounts payable and payment runs so the suppliers you depend on are paid on schedule, the relationships stay solid, and nothing gets missed.
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.
