Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Wanted to Know About Bookkeeping, Sorted
Do I still need a bookkeeper if I already have an accountant?
Yes — and here’s why. Your accountant handles your overall tax planning, strategy, and compliance reporting. Your bookkeeper handles the day-to-day: recording transactions, reconciling accounts, managing payroll, lodging BAS, and keeping everything clean and current. Without accurate bookkeeping, your accountant is flying blind — which means missed opportunities, last-minute scrambling, and likely higher costs to fix mistakes. At GRIT, our bookkeeping and accounting teams work together to give you a clear, consistent view of your business. That means less back and forth, no duplication, and better decisions made with real data.
What bookkeeping software do you recommend?
We primarily work with Xero, but also support clients on MYOB and QuickBooks depending on your needs. Most small to mid-sized businesses benefit from Xero for its simplicity, automation, and integrations — especially if you’re managing payroll, invoicing, or stock. If you’re just starting out, we’ll recommend the right platform based on your business model, volume, and team. Already using spreadsheets or an older system? We can migrate your data across and clean up your chart of accounts so you’re ready to move forward with confidence.
How often should bookkeeping be done?
That depends on your business volume, ATO obligations, and how up-to-date you want your financials. Most of our clients choose monthly reconciliation to stay ahead of BAS deadlines and keep an accurate picture of cash flow. High-volume businesses (like ecommerce or hospitality) often opt for weekly, while some sole traders prefer quarterly. We’ll work with you to set a frequency that suits your operations — and we always flag anything urgent, overdue, or worth reviewing between cycles.
What if my books are a mess or overdue?
You’re not alone — and we don’t judge. Whether you’re a few months behind or haven’t looked at your accounts in years, we’ve seen it all and we know how to fix it. Our team will review your records, fix coding errors, reconcile past transactions, and get your BAS and reporting up to date. We’ll also help you build better habits and systems so it doesn’t happen again. Clean books aren’t just for tax time — they’re essential for growing a business you can trust.
Can I combine bookkeeping and accounting with GRIT?
Absolutely. In fact, we recommend it. When your bookkeeping and accounting are handled by the same team, there’s no gap between what’s recorded and what’s reported. We work holistically — so your tax returns, BAS, payroll and advisory are all based on accurate, up-to-date books. It saves time, cuts costs, and gives you one team to call when you need answers or strategy. That’s the GRIT difference: end-to-end financial support, not just another service provider.
