Bookkeeping, tax & back office

The monthly work, done properly, for one flat fee

Four desks, because a rideshare driver and a construction subcontractor do not need the same thing. Same standard of work on all of them.

Driver Desk

Rideshare and delivery drivers. Income reconciled against the platform statements, expenses claimed properly, GST and IR3 handled.

Trade Desk

Tradies, subcontractors and small construction businesses. Job costing, retentions, withholding tax and the invoicing that keeps cash moving.

Business Desk

SMEs, consultants and professionals. Full monthly bookkeeping, payroll, GST, provisional tax and a reporting pack.

Host Desk

Airbnb and rental property owners. Platform income reconciled, apportioned expenses, and the property rules applied correctly.

Joined-up support

Routine finance work, with a clear route to specialist help

ClearDesk supports authorised clients with bookkeeping, GST, income tax preparation, payroll records and myIR-related administration within the agreed engagement.

Where a matter requires complex representation, audit, legal advice or another specialist service, we identify it early and coordinate an appropriate professional handover.

You keep one clear record of what has been completed, what is outstanding and who is responsible for the next action.

If you are behind

Being one or two years behind is far more common than people think, and it is nearly always fixable. What it is not is something that improves by being left.

Tell us how far back it goes and roughly what records exist. We will quote the catch-up as a fixed fee before starting, so you know the number before you commit.

No lectures. We have seen worse than yours.

Tell us what you do, roughly how many transactions a month, and whether you are up to date. That is enough to prepare a private workload-based quote.
