Jim's Bookkeeping

"My job is to take the pressure off", "To tackle the paper war, the form filling, the bureaucratic red tape. To get your accounts tax-ready while you're off making money."
"I also teach you how to make sense of the reports I give you so you'll be able to make the right decisions about what to spend, where to tighten your belt and where to invest."
MY HISTORY
I am a Master of Business Administration graduate of the University of New England and Fellow of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers. For 16 years I owned & operated businesses in the tourism and hospitality industry. In recent years, I have worked in finance, administration and practice management roles, before becoming a bookkeeper & BAS Agent. I have lived in Brisbane's Western suburbs of St Lucia, Toowong, & Sherwood before buying a place in Indooroopilly.
HOW I WORK
I do not replace the your accountant, they have special skills I do not claim to possess. Rather, I work with your accountant to help you achieve your business goals.
The first consultation, at which I seek to fully understand the unique aspects of your business and what you are trying to achieve, is free.
I do not work on an hourly or daily billing rate, but prefer a fixed fee according to the specific tasks to be performed. (Most clients prefer a fixed fee because there is a cap on their investment they always know exactly what they are spending so there are no surprises when the bill arrives).
When you engage me you can expect a high-quality, professional service using MYOB, Xero, QuickBooks, & SAASU; including:
Payroll of any size
On-site or off-site
Work processed using the latest financial management software;
Financial reports filed in a personalised folder for easy record keeping;
Back-up copies of financial information stored securely off-site;
Regular face-to-face briefings of the business financial performance;
