Bookkeeping Services in NSW — Fixed-Fee, Accountant-Led
From Sydney tradies and Parramatta professional services to contractors in Wollongong and Newcastle, NSW businesses run on tight margins. FinanceDesk does your books for one fixed monthly fee from $299 — reconciled, reported, and reviewed every month by a CA-track accountant.
Adelaide face, offshore engine: a dedicated offshore team works your books on AEST hours, with one named local contact. Your BAS agent gets a clean, BAS-ready ledger — we prepare it, they lodge it.
Built for how NSW works
Why NSW businesses choose FinanceDesk
Built for NSW trades & subbies
Sydney's construction pipeline runs on progress claims and subcontractor invoices. We capture supplier bills, tag costs to jobs in Xero, and keep your receivables ledger current — so the Sunday-night admin pile disappears.
Month-end on a professional-services rhythm
Parramatta, Chatswood and Sydney CBD firms get the month closed on schedule: reconciliations done, a P&L your partners can actually read, and a 30-minute review call on Growth and above.
Accountant-led, not sales-led
Every ledger is reviewed monthly by a CA-track accountant before it reaches you or your BAS agent. BAS-ready, always — BAS lodgement stays with your BAS agent.

NSW bookkeeping FAQs
How much does bookkeeping cost for a small business in NSW?
$299/mo for Essentials (up to 150 transactions), $499/mo for Growth (up to 400 transactions, management report and a 30-minute review call), and $899/mo for Premium (up to 800 transactions, 2 entities, cash-flow forecast). One fixed fee — no hourly billing.
Do you lodge BAS or handle GST for my NSW business?
No — and that's deliberate. We keep your ledger BAS-ready: clean GST coding, reconciled accounts, correct balances. Your BAS agent or accountant lodges. It keeps compliance clean and your adviser relationship intact.
I'm a Sydney tradie with subcontractors — is this for me?
Yes. Growth and Premium suit trades: supplier bill capture, job and project tagging in Xero, and subcontractor invoices tracked in the ledger. Tell us your monthly transaction volume and we'll size the right tier.
What do you need from me to get started?
Secure access to your Xero file, a 30-minute kickoff with your named Adelaide contact, and your accountant's details so we can confirm opening balances. Most clients are fully transitioned within their first billing month.
Can you work with my existing Sydney accountant?
Yes — most clients keep their accountant. We do the monthly books; they do tax and advisory. Our monthly CA-track review means your accountant receives clean files with less year-end cleanup.
Start with a free Xero health check
We'll review your Xero file and tell you exactly what needs fixing — in writing, no obligation. If your books are already clean, we'll tell you that too.
