Frequently Asked Questions

What are bookkeeping services in Australia?

Bookkeeping services involve recording, organising and managing all your business’s financial transactions, income, expenses, payroll and taxes. A professional bookkeeper keeps your records ATO-compliant, your BAS lodged on time and your books audit-ready all year round.

How much do bookkeeping services cost in Australia?

Bookkeeping services in Australia typically cost $50 to $120 per hour for hourly billing, or $125 to $800+ per month for fixed-fee packages depending on transaction volume and business size. Most small businesses pay between $200 and $500 per month for outsourced bookkeeping including BAS preparation.

Sleek’s bookkeeping plans start from $230 per month and include bank reconciliations, BAS preparation, a full Xero and Dext subscription and a dedicated bookkeeper, all in one flat fee with no hourly billing. Every plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Why should I outsource my bookkeeping services in Australia?

Outsourcing your bookkeeping to a professional frees up your time, reduces the risk of ATO errors and ensures your records are always accurate and compliant. A trusted bookkeeper ensures accuracy and compliance while you focus on growing your business.

What is the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant in Australia?

A bookkeeper records and reconciles your day-to-day transactions, invoices, receipts and bank feeds. 

An accountant interprets those records, prepares financial statements and lodges your tax return. With Sleek, you get both, your bookkeeping handled by a dedicated bookkeeper and your tax and compliance managed by a registered Australian tax agent.

What's the difference between Sleek's bookkeeping plans and accounting plans?

Our bookkeeping plans cover bank reconciliations, BAS preparation, Xero and Dext subscriptions, and a dedicated bookkeeper, everything you need to keep your books clean, compliant and up to date. The Pro bookkeeping plan also includes accounts receivable and payable reporting, with payroll available as an add-on.

Our accounting plans include all of that plus your company tax return, two personal tax returns, year-round tax planning with a senior tax agent and strategic advice on your tax position.

If you need your books kept in order and BAS lodged on time, a bookkeeping plan is the right fit. If you also need tax returns prepared and filed, plus advice on how to reduce what you owe, an accounting plan covers both.

What if my books are a mess or I'm behind on my BAS?

That’s one of the most common reasons businesses come to Sleek. Whether you’re a quarter behind or a full year behind, we handle catch-up work regularly. Tell us where things stand and we’ll quote the catch-up separately from your monthly plan. Most businesses are fully caught up within two to four weeks.

Do I need a bookkeeper or an accountant?

If your main need is keeping day-to-day records accurate, reconciling bank transactions and lodging BAS on time, a bookkeeper is the right starting point. If you also need your annual tax return prepared, tax planning advice or financial statements for investors or lenders, you need an accountant. With Sleek, you can start with bookkeeping and upgrade to a full accounting plan as your needs grow, without switching providers. 

Can I do my own bookkeeping in Australia?

Yes, but it comes with risks. Poor record keeping has serious financial consequences including lost deductions, ATO penalties for late or incorrect lodgements and increased audit risk due to inconsistent BAS figures. Most business owners find that the time spent on DIY bookkeeping far outweighs the cost of outsourcing it to a professional.
