Common Questions

Melbourne Bookkeeping FAQs

What bookkeeping services do Melbourne businesses need?

Most Melbourne small businesses need: monthly Xero reconciliation, quarterly BAS lodgement (by a Registered BAS Agent), payroll processing and super, and monthly management reports. The exact scope depends on transaction volume and whether you have employees. True Tally offers fixed monthly packages covering all of these.

What is a BAS Agent and do I need one in Melbourne?

A Registered BAS Agent (like True Tally) is legally authorised by the Tax Practitioners Board to prepare and lodge your Business Activity Statement. Only Registered BAS Agents can provide BAS services for a fee. If your Melbourne business is registered for GST, you need a BAS Agent to lodge your BAS compliantly. Verify any bookkeeper's registration at tpb.gov.au before engaging them.

How much do bookkeeping services cost in Melbourne?

True Tally charges a fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volume, payroll headcount and services required. Fixed fees mean no surprises and no penalty for asking questions. The investment typically costs less than the time you'd spend doing your own books — and prevents the ATO penalties that follow late or incorrect BAS lodgements.

Can Melbourne bookkeeping be done fully remotely?

Yes — all True Tally bookkeeping for Melbourne clients is delivered remotely through Xero. No in-person visits required. You get live access to your own Xero file, and we work in the same file. Most communication is by email; video calls when needed.

Do I need a bookkeeper or an accountant in Melbourne?

Most Melbourne small businesses need both. A bookkeeper (True Tally) handles ongoing records — BAS, payroll, reconciliation. An accountant handles annual tax returns and strategy. Our clean Xero files reduce your accountant's billable time significantly, which means the bookkeeping more than pays for itself through lower accounting fees.

What bookkeeping software do Melbourne bookkeepers use?

True Tally uses Xero as the primary platform for all Melbourne clients — we're a Xero Certified Advisor and Xero Partner. For ecommerce, A2X integrates Shopify and Amazon. For receipt management, Dext captures and categorises expenses automatically. All connect to Xero as the single source of truth.
