Our Process
If you’re at the point of considering engaging the services of a bookkeeper, the easiest way to kick-start the process is with a simple phone call. Typically, this will lead to a face-to-face meeting whereby we will ask insightful questions that will help us truly get to know you and your business, your goals and ambitions, and the unique requirements you’ll need from your bookkeeper to make sure you achieve these objectives.
To get started, we’ll need access to all the relevant financial files. Many business owners worry that they don’t have the systems currently in place to be able to easily hand over this kind of data … which is exactly where we come in! No matter what state your current financial records are in, we’ll create a system to set them up in a way that will best serve your business now and into the future.

FAQS
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
Bookkeepers are instrumental in the ongoing financial upkeep of your business. A bookkeeper is the person that assists you to manage the ongoing financial recording and transactions that keep your business operating smoothly.
Your accountant will be the person who analyses the data produced by your bookkeeper, reports on it, and is best suited to give you financial advice. Your accountant will also have a strong understanding of your taxation requirements, and will be best able to assist in that area.
What your accountant probably doesn’t do is take the kind of detailed look at what’s going on within your business that a bookkeeper takes. Our approach involves considering where improvements can be made in an ongoing, day-to-day capacity. KR Accounts bookkeepers pride themselves on being detail-oriented. It’s that year-round external set of eyes that adds the most value, equipping you with an impartial and accurate picture of the current state of your business.
Do bookkeepers do payroll?
Yes we do! And we’re good at it, too. KR Accounts will happily take on the continued administration involved with ensuring your staff are paid the right amount, on time, every single time. As we all know, happy and valued staff can make or break a business, through high levels of motivation which directly impact on productivity and bottom line.
How much should I pay a bookkeeper?
The answer to this question is not a straightforward one. Basically, every client is different. Payments associated with your bookkeeping services will be based on the needs of your business. As we work to develop our relationship with you, we’ll ask all the necessary questions to gain a thorough understanding of your requirements, before offering a straightforward and honest breakdown of the likely costs associated with our services. At KR Accounts, we offer a pay-by-the-hour service or fixed price monthly packages, whichever suits you best.
Can a bookkeeper do tax returns?
In short, no. This responsibility will remain with your accountant. However, KR Accounts adds value in this area by working throughout the year to ensure your accountant receives the most accurate information, presented in the most straightforward way, and in a timely fashion when it comes to end-of-financial-year. Your accountant will no doubt be extremely grateful, as this type of clearly laid-out information helps them ensure the smoothest process when it comes to the tax return of your business.
I am behind in my Business Activity Statement (BAS). How do I get up-to-date?
Don’t worry, KR Accounts can help. Simply make contact with our team and we’ll ask the right questions to identify precisely what needs to happen to bring you back up-to-date. If needed, we can even organise an extension with the Australian Tax Office while we work to get your bookkeeping back in order, before submitting your BAS return in the right format. What’s more, we’ll do this quickly and accurately, to ensure absolute compliance.
I’m not on Xero. Can I still use your services?
You can indeed. While Xero is one of the most well-known online accounting package options used to manage business-related financial information in Australia, there are alternatives available too. Xero acts as a central portal, capturing and storing all the crucial financial information relating to your business, and presenting it in an easy-to-understand format. Comparable packages we also recommend include Quickbooks and MYOB.
However, we understand some smaller businesses still prefer to store their financial information using their own manual systems. We can therefore help set you up with the accounting package that best meets the distinct requirements of your business, and do everything it takes to get you active on the platform and enjoying its advantages.
Although it is definitely worth having one of these systems in place due to the range of benefits they can bring, if you’re a smaller concern reluctant to take this step, let’s have a chat and discuss whether a manual approach can be developed, using whatever current internal system you have in place.
About Brisbane
Brisbane is the world-renowned capital of the Australian state of Queensland, otherwise known as the ‘Sunshine State’, for obvious reasons. It is also the most heavily populated city in the state, and the third most populous in Australia, as well as being one of the nation’s oldest.
The city is named after the Brisbane River that runs through it, which itself took its name from Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of the neighbouring state of New South Wales at the time the city was founded.
Queensland was proclaimed a separate colony from NSW in 1859, and Brisbane was chosen as the state’s capital during World War II, when it played a crucial role in the Allied campaign, acting as the South West Pacific headquarters for the United States Army.
Today, Brisbane’s metropolitan area boasts a population of approximately 2.5 million, known affectionately as Brisbanites, with the name of the city itself often abbreviated to ‘Brissy’ or even ‘Brisvegas’, thanks to its apparent similarities with the USA gambling mecca of Las Vegas.
By virtue of its pleasant year-round subtropical climate, Brisbane life is well-known to revolve around the outdoors, which makes it an attractive destination for tourists. Its sunshine, beaches and general outdoor culture mean residents and visitors alike enjoy getting out and about to experience the great food on offer, as well as arts and nature-focused adventures. It also sits in close proximity to other equally popular destinations including rugged national parks, and the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, with their popular golden-sand surf beaches.
