What a bookkeeper really costs in Australia, and the option most owners have never priced

Free My CloudFree 15-minute cost check, request your call

No obligation. We call you back within one business day to book your 15 minutes.

A local bookkeeper typically costs $65,000 to $85,000 a year once you add super, leave and the time spent managing them. Since 2010, more than 200 Australian businesses have replaced that line with a university-qualified graduate accountant based in the Philippines, working inside their Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks during Australian business hours, for typically 50 to 70% less.

In 15 minutes on the phone you get the real numbers for your business, the structure that keeps your accountant in control, and a straight answer on whether it suits you. No pitch and no obligation.

  • Hosted by Julian Mahoney, founder, placing bookkeepers with Australian businesses since 2010
  • A real cost comparison for your business size and the software you already use
  • Straight answers on BAS, payroll, payday super, security and who signs off

The agenda

What we cover in 15 minutes

Short on purpose. You leave with numbers you can take to your accountant, not a sales deck.

1

The real cost of a local hire

Salary, super, leave, recruitment, and the hours you spend managing the role.

2

What a dedicated graduate accountant costs

A range for your business based on volume and software, not a headline number.

3

Who does what

What your bookkeeper handles every day, and what your accountant still reviews and signs off.

4

BAS, payroll and payday super

How the daily work keeps your file ATO-ready for the deadlines that now arrive every pay run.

5

Security and control

Signed NDA, permission-based software access you control, and a full audit trail in your own file.

6

Whether it suits you at all

Some businesses are better off as they are. If that is you, we say so on the call.

Who this is for

This is for you if you…

Own or run an Australian business with more than a handful of transactions a week
Pay $65,000 or more a year for bookkeeping, or are still doing the books yourself at night
Use Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, or are about to move to one of them
Are watching wages, payday super and staffing costs eat into your margin
Have thought about offshore help before but did not know who to trust
Want the same dedicated person every day, not a rotating pool of strangers

The takeaways

What you walk away with

Whether you decide to change next month or next year, you will leave the call with a clear answer to each of these.
