QuickBooks Online is a capable platform, but without someone actively working in it, reconciliations fall behind, errors accumulate, and the financial visibility it should provide becomes unreliable. If you are still choosing a platform, our best accounting software in Australia guide compares QuickBooks with Xero, MYOB and Reckon on price.
Unreconciled transactions in QuickBooks produce unreliable reports and make BAS preparation significantly more time-consuming. A dedicated QuickBooks bookkeeper keeps accounts reconciled on a weekly basis.
Transactions assigned to the wrong account distort your P&L and produce inaccurate GST figures, which flow through to an incorrect BAS. Consistent, accurate coding requires daily attention.
QuickBooks calculates GST from your transaction data. If that data contains coding errors or unreconciled items, your BAS figures will be inaccurate. Correctly maintained records are the foundation of a reliable BAS.
QuickBooks can produce P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow reports automatically, but only when the underlying data is current. Without regular maintenance, meaningful reporting is not possible.
Outstanding invoices in QuickBooks require active monitoring and follow-up. Without a dedicated person managing debtors, overdue balances accumulate and cash flow is affected.
Business owners who manage their own QuickBooks file redirect time that could be directed to clients, growth, and operations. A dedicated QuickBooks bookkeeper removes this entirely.
One dedicated bookkeeper in your QuickBooks file, covering your full bookkeeping scope consistently, every week.

QuickBooks Online connects with a wide range of Australian business apps, from receipt capture and payment gateways through to job management, point-of-sale and payroll platforms.

What does a QuickBooks bookkeeper do?
A QuickBooks bookkeeper manages your financial records within QuickBooks Online: coding transactions, reconciling bank accounts, processing payroll, preparing BAS, managing accounts payable and receivable, and producing monthly management reports. FreeMyCloud QuickBooks bookkeepers handle all of these as a dedicated resource working in your file every day.
How much does a QuickBooks bookkeeper cost in Australia?
FreeMyCloud QuickBooks bookkeeper services typically cost about 50% less than a local hire. There are no setup fees and no lock-in contracts, and no superannuation, leave entitlements, or recruitment costs. Use the savings calculator on our website for a personalised estimate.
Which version of QuickBooks do your bookkeepers work in?
Your bookkeeper works in QuickBooks Online on any of the Australian plans (Simple Start, Essentials, Plus or Advanced) and in QuickBooks Payroll, which Intuit adds to QuickBooks Online and is powered by Employment Hero. If you are on an older QuickBooks file, tell us on the call and we will confirm before you start.
Can a QuickBooks bookkeeper handle my BAS?
Your bookkeeper prepares the BAS figures in QuickBooks Online each quarter, reconciling GST and checking the transaction data. QuickBooks Online can lodge a BAS electronically once your file is connected to the ATO, you can lodge through ATO Online services, or your registered BAS or tax agent can lodge it for you. Only registered agents can provide BAS services for a fee, which is why FreeMyCloud prepares the figures and does not lodge. Bookkeeper, BAS agent or accountant: who does what sets out the rules.
Is my QuickBooks data secure with an outsourced bookkeeper?
Yes. QuickBooks Online's user access controls allow you to set your bookkeeper's permission level and restrict access to specific areas. Every action is recorded in the QuickBooks audit trail. A signed NDA is included with every FreeMyCloud engagement as standard, and you can revoke access instantly at any time.
Can your bookkeeper set up QuickBooks from scratch?
Yes. FreeMyCloud QuickBooks bookkeepers are able to assist with chart of accounts configuration, bank feed connections, opening balance entry, and initial file setup before commencing ongoing bookkeeping. This suits businesses new to QuickBooks or moving from another platform; see setting up QuickBooks Online.
How quickly can a QuickBooks bookkeeper start?
Most FreeMyCloud clients are operational within 3 business days of an initial consultation. Your QuickBooks bookkeeper is pre-trained and ready to begin from day one, with minimal onboarding required.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. FreeMyCloud operates without lock-in contracts or minimum terms. You are free to cancel at any time. There are also no setup fees.
What are outsourced QuickBooks bookkeeping services?
A bookkeeper outside your business works in your QuickBooks Online file through the user access you give them. With FreeMyCloud that is one named graduate accountant on our Manila team, the same person every week, working to your chart of accounts. You keep ownership of the file and can remove their access at any time. How outsourced bookkeeping works explains each step.
Can you look after QuickBooks for a business in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney?
Yes. The work happens inside QuickBooks Online, so where your office is makes no difference. Manila shares Perth's time zone and is two hours behind Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne (three hours behind Sydney and Melbourne when daylight saving is on), so your bookkeeper works through your business day.
Should I hire a QuickBooks bookkeeper or outsource one?
Hiring gives you someone in the office; you also carry recruitment, super, leave and cover when they are away. A local bookkeeper typically costs $65,000 to $85,000 a year once those are added (see what a bookkeeper costs). Outsourcing to FreeMyCloud gives you one dedicated bookkeeper in your file without those costs, and no lock-in if it does not suit.
Book a free, no-obligation consultation. Tell us about your business and your QuickBooks setup, and we will have the right bookkeeper operational within 3 business days.
