Rescue Bookkeeping

We’ve helped countless small business owners just like you get back on top of their books and compliance.

We Will Catch Up Your Bookkeeping

Helping you develop healthy financial habits

Have you found that you’ve fallen behind in your bookkeeping and just can’t face the thought of tackling things alone? You don’t have to! We’ve helped countless small business owners just like you get back on top of their books and compliance. We love the challenge of digging into the weeds and turning your nightmare into a beautiful Xero file so we can then get your lodgements up to date and if required, organise a manageable payment plan with the ATO, allowing you to start taking control of the financial aspects of your business.

However, our assistance isn’t limited to a one-time fix. We believe in providing ongoing support to ensure you stay on the right track. Our goal is to help you develop healthy financial habits that will serve your business well in the long term.

As part of our comprehensive rescue package, we offer a range of services tailored to your needs, including:

We’ll configure your Xero account and import and reconcile your financial data, covering everything from the beginning of the financial year to the present.

Our experts will prepare and lodge any outstanding Activity Statements and other reporting requirements, helping you to get caught up on all your reporting obligations promptly.

We’ll guide you through your record-keeping requirements with the ATO, suggesting the most suitable systems and tools. This might include utilising Xero’s Bills feature or employing advanced receipt scanning applications like DEXT if you deal with a high volume of invoices.

If you wish to manage your Xero reconciliations independently moving forward, we can provide you with Xero Training options to give you the skills and confidence to do this.

We’ll work with your accountant, ensuring they have the necessary financial information to prepare any pending Income Tax Returns on your behalf.

In cases where it’s needed, we can take charge of negotiating a manageable payment plan with the ATO on your behalf, alleviating financial stress.

Once we’ve brought you up to date and ensured ongoing compliance, you might want to explore our innovative offering: The Cash Flow Project, our solution for small business owners who want to improve their financial fitness and transform their entrepreneurial journey into one where they have clarity, control and confidence over their business numbers and cash flow.

Office Information

Heart Bookkeeping was intentionally built in the cloud, providing services to our clients from day one on a remote basis. And although we’ve expanded our physical footprint to include Lismore, Hobart and Townsville, we’ve been very intentional about designing our offering to ensure all business owners in Australia can access and benefit from the services we offer.

We work on your business remotely using Xero accounting software. We are available by phone or email and we customise our bookkeeping solutions to meet the changing needs of your business. Our fixed fee pricing structure means no nasty bill surprises and ensures we’re always working hard to create efficiencies in your bookkeeping processes.

We understand that each small business owner is at a different stage in their business journey so we have packages that support you through each of these stages. Those ready to get on top of their cash flow struggles should check out “The Cash Flow Project”

Why pay for the time spent rather than the results achieved? We don’t charge an hourly rate, but instead provide you with a fixed fee solution so you know exactly what to budget for, providing you with cost predictability and removing the possibility of bill shock.

Fixed fees align our interests with yours as we have every reason to make your bookkeeping processes more streamlined and reduce the amount of time you spend on bookkeeping related tasks.

At Heart Bookkeeping we only use and recommend Xero online accounting software. Born in the cloud just like us, Xero provides small business owners with a user-friendly accounting experience and can handle all your day-to-day bookkeeping tasks as well as connecting with over 1,000 apps to simplify tasks such as payment collections, inventory, job management, CRM and more.

If you’re currently using another accounting software or struggling on excel, Heart Bookkeeping can get you set-up on Xero and transfer your important contact, payroll and other business information across so that you’re up and running in no time.

Yes we do! Depending on your learning style you can choose between two different delivery methods for your Xero training with us:

  1. Self-Paced Online Xero Training ($49 per month)
    This is an affordable option for those who want to get their head around the basics of using Xero. Our training videos take you through the basics of each area of the Xero platform and give you access to downloaded checklists so you can ensure you’re on the right track.

    We’re always adding new content to the training portal so you can build on your basic knowledge over time and gain confidence in the quality of your Xero numbers.
    Learn more here 

  2. One-on-one Training via Zoom or in person ($550)
    This Xero training option is suited to those who want a customised approach to their Xero education. It’s a way to fast-track your learning as we customise this training to focus on the areas that are relevant to your business and you can ask us questions that relate to your business and your Xero file.

    You get 2 hours with one of our Xero certified gurus + up to one hour of additional phone and/or email support in the 2 weeks following your training session.
    We also give you FREE access to our Xero Online Training platform for one month so you can access our downloadable checklists and additional training content.
    Learn more here 

We believe you get the best value out of working with us when we connect with your accountant so we’re all working together.

During the onboarding phase we reach out to your accountant to introduce ourselves and give them an overview of the services you’ve engaged us to deliver. We ask them to provide us with information that will help us do our job and that will ensure we provide them with a Xero file they’ll love.

We also touch base with them at key points in the year to update them on your business performance and get guidance from them on varying the business’s quarterly tax instalments you’re paying to the ATO if needed. After the end of the financial year we send them all the information we know they’ll need to get started on your tax and financial statements and make ourselves available for any queries they may have.

Coming from a public practice background, the leaders at Heart Bookkeeping have been on the receiving end of client and bookkeeper-prepared Xero files just like you, and know the difference a great bookkeeper can make to both your client and your accounting firm.

Heart Bookkeeping partners with responsive and proactive accountants and accounting firms to get the best outcomes for our mutual clients. Not only do we provide you with beautiful Xero accounting files and year end workpapers, we flag any changes in the client’s business that may require your advice and expertise. We also handle all your client’s Xero and transaction level queries so you have more time to spend on services such as tax planning and business structuring that will make a real difference to the lives of your client.
