Dedicated Bookkeeper for VIC Businesses
Your own bookkeeper — full-time from $1,850/mo or part-time from $999/mo — whether you're running a Dandenong factory, a Fitzroy hospitality group or a Geelong trade business. 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 VIC businesses hire a dedicated bookkeeper
Built for Victorian volume
Hospitality groups and manufacturers don't do "quiet months" in the ledger. A seat is uncapped within its hours — daily sales reconciled, supplier bills captured, stock movements recorded — without per-transaction pricing.
Multi-venue and multi-file capable
One bookkeeper across your café group, or your factory plus your retail arm. L02 and L03 seats handle multiple Xero files and inter-entity items without losing the thread.
Scales with your seasons
Hospitality peaks, manufacturing shutdowns — seats can be re-levelled as your workload changes. Any change is quoted and approved by you first; nothing moves silently.

Dedicated bookkeeper FAQs — VIC
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 one bookkeeper cover our café group across three Xero files?
Yes — multi-file bookkeepers are common. We scope the files and volume at onboarding and usually recommend an L02 or L03 seat for multi-entity complexity, so reconciliations and inter-entity items stay clean.
Who manages the bookkeeper day to day?
You do — task lists, priorities, approvals. FinanceDesk manages employment, performance, training and backup cover, plus the monthly CA-track accountant review of their output.
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 — critical for high-volume hospitality and manufacturing.
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.
