Complete Accounting Services For Small Business

Bookkeeping That Actually Gets Done

Bookkeeping is a time-consuming and tedious job. Most small business owners have better things to do with their time than reconciling bank statements and chasing receipts.

Our accounting services for small businesses include professional bookkeeping that keeps your records accurate, up-to-date, and ATO-compliant. We can handle:

Daily transaction recording – Every sale, purchase, and expense properly recorded
Bank reconciliations – Making sure your accounts match your actual bank balance
Accounts receivable– Tracking who owes you money (and helping you get paid faster)
Accounts payable – Managing your bills so nothing falls through the cracks
Payroll processing – Getting your staff paid accurately and on time
Expense management – Categorising expenses correctly to maximise deductions

Cloud Accounting Integration: We work with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks Online, giving you real-time access to your finances from anywhere. Check your cash flow from your phone, send invoices from your tablet, or run reports from your laptop. It’s all there when you need it.

Tax Services That Save You Money

Tax is probably the biggest expense your small business faces (after wages). The difference between paying too much tax and paying the right amount can literally be thousands of dollars a year.Our small business accountant services include comprehensive tax support:

Business Tax Returns

Company tax returns
Partnership and trust returns
Sole trader tax returns
All lodged on time, every time

Tax Planning Strategies

Smart structure advice to minimise tax legally
Timing strategies for income and expenses

Small business CGT concessions utilised
Division 7A compliance for companies

Ongoing Tax Compliance

BAS preparation and lodgement (monthly, quarterly)
PAYG withholding and instalments
Payroll tax (when your wage bill grows)
Fringe benefits tax if applicable
GST advice and registration

The GNC Difference: We don’t just prepare your tax return and call it a day. We actively look for ways to minimise your tax throughout the year, not just at tax time. That’s what proactive tax planning is all about.

Cash Flow Management

Here’s a scary stat: most business failures aren’t because of a lack of sales; they’re because of poor cash flow management. You can be profitable on paper but still run out of cash to pay bills.

Our accounting services for small businessesinclude cash flow advice that helps you:

Forecast cash needs– Know when money’s coming in and going out
Manage working capital– Keep enough cash on hand for operations
Improve collection times– Get paid faster by customers
Negotiate better terms – With suppliers and creditors
Plan for growth – Without running out of cash
Prepare for quiet periods – Build cash reserves when times are good

We’ll help you understand your cash flow cycle and give you practical strategies to improve it. Because at the end of the day, cash flow is king.

Financial Reporting You Can Actually Understand

Financial statements don’t have to be confusing. Our small business accountant team prepares clear, easy-to-understand financial reports that tell you:

How profitable you really are– Not just revenue, but actual profit
Where your money’s going – Expense analysis and cost control
How you’re tracking – Against budget, previous periods, and industry benchmarks
Your financial position – Assets, liabilities, and equity explained simply
Key performance indicators – The numbers that really matter for your business

We don’t just dump a bunch of reports on you and disappear. We sit down with you (in person or via video call) and walk you through what the numbers mean and what actions you should take.
