Dedicated Bookkeeper for QLD Businesses
Your own bookkeeper — full-time from $1,850/mo or part-time from $999/mo — working Queensland time, all year. From Brisbane construction to Gold Coast tourism and regional operators, you direct the day-to-day work; we handle recruitment, HR and backup cover.
Every seat is accountant-led: a CA-track accountant reviews your bookkeeper's output monthly. One named Adelaide contact, one fixed invoice — no recruitment fees, no payroll admin.
Your hire, our headache
Why QLD businesses hire a dedicated bookkeeper
No daylight-saving drift
Queensland doesn't do daylight saving — and neither does our schedule relative to you. Your bookkeeper works AEST business hours year-round, so the overlap with your Brisbane, Gold Coast or Cairns day never shifts.
Project-ready for construction
Builders and trades get a bookkeeper who tags costs to jobs, tracks progress-claim receivables and keeps subcontractor invoices in order — the ledger reflects your projects, not just your bank feed.
Skip the regional hiring cycle
Finding bookkeeping staff in Townsville or Cairns takes months. A seat is scoped, shortlisted and working in weeks — one fixed monthly invoice instead of a recruitment campaign.

Dedicated bookkeeper FAQs — QLD
How is a dedicated bookkeeper different from your $299/mo bookkeeping package?
The package is a done-for-you outcome on our workflow, sized by transaction volume. A seat is a named person working your hours on your tasks, directed by you — uncapped within their hours and dedicated to your business alone.
Can the bookkeeper chase our overdue invoices?
Yes. Polite debtor follow-up is a common seat task: aged receivables reviewed weekly, reminders sent on a cadence you approve, and escalation rules set with you upfront.
We're in Cairns — does remote onboarding actually work?
Yes. Kickoff runs over video, access is set up securely in Xero, and your processes are documented in week one. Regional Queensland clients onboard exactly the same way as Brisbane ones.
What happens when my bookkeeper is on leave?
Backup cover from the same pod keeps reconciliations, bills and invoicing moving. Your Adelaide contact coordinates the handover so nothing stalls.
Can my dedicated bookkeeper lodge BAS?
No. Seats produce BAS-ready ledgers with clean GST coding; lodgement stays with your BAS agent or accountant. The same rule applies to our fixed-fee packages.
