Dedicated Accountant for NSW Businesses
Your own accountant — full-time from $1,850/mo or part-time from $999/mo — owning your month-end close, management reporting and cash-flow from our offshore team, on Sydney hours.
Accountant-led by design: your seat works inside our CA-track review structure, so the numbers your board or bank sees have been checked twice. One named Adelaide contact throughout.
A finance function without the hire
Why NSW businesses hire a dedicated accountant
Month-end that closes on time
Your accountant owns the close calendar: accruals, prepayments, balance sheet reconciliations, and a management P&L your directors can read — delivered on Sydney timing, every month.
A finance function without the hire
From $999/mo part-time. No recruiter fees, no six-month hiring cycle, no salary negotiation — a finance seat that's productive from week one and scales with you.
Works with your tax agent, not against them
Clean monthly files, BAS-ready ledgers, and direct liaison with your external accountant at year end. Your adviser gets what they need; you stop paying for cleanup.

Dedicated accountant FAQs — NSW
Bookkeeper or accountant seat — which does my NSW business need?
A bookkeeper seat covers transaction processing: data entry, reconciliations, bills and invoicing. An accountant seat owns the month-end close: journals, accruals, management reporting, cash-flow and liaison with your tax agent. Businesses outgrowing basic books usually need the accountant seat.
Will my accountant understand NSW payroll tax and workers compensation coding?
Your seat maintains payroll coding and ledgers with NSW obligations in mind and prepares BAS-ready records. Advice, registration and lodgement stay with your BAS agent or accountant — we never promise tax or BAS lodgement.
How do you keep my financial data secure?
Access-controlled Xero and MYOB logins, confidentiality agreements for every team member, and least-privilege access — you can revoke access at any time. Your Adelaide contact oversees access reviews.
Can the seat scale if we add another entity?
Yes. Seats can be re-levelled or a second seat added as you grow. Any change to scope or fee is quoted and approved by you first — no silent upgrades.
What if the accountant isn't the right fit?
Replacement is part of the model. Your Adelaide contact manages the transition with handover notes, so the month-end close doesn't slip.
