SYDney BOOKKEEPER · BAS LODGEMENT
THE SYDNEY BOOKKEEPER THAT LODGES YOUR BAS BEFORE YOU'VE EVEN PANICKED.
Quarterly BAS lodged early, every quarter. GST coded properly all year, not crammed in the night before. No "we'll get to it." No penalty surprises. One fixed price. A Registered BAS Agent who actually replies.
Most Sydney bookkeepers treat the BAS deadline like a surprise party. It's the same four dates every year, Barry. We've had them in the calendar since January.
our impact
What BAS season looks like once Boring Barry's gone.
Lodged Early
Your BAS lodged ahead of the deadline. Not the night of, not the morning after with an apology.
Zero Penalties
The deadline isn't a surprise to us, so it stops being a problem for you. No ATO late-lodgement notices landing in your inbox.
BAS Quiet
Your phone at BAS time. No frantic chasing, no "did we lodge?", no Sunday-night dread. Just a confirmation that it's done.
what's included
GST coded all year, not in a panic
Every transaction coded to the right GST treatment as it happens. So when BAS is due, the number's already right. No frantic end-of-quarter cleanup.
Quarterly BAS prepared and lodged
We prepare it, we check it, we lodge it with the ATO on your behalf. You get a one-line summary of what you owe and when it's due out of your account.
Lodged early, every quarter
We aim for days ahead of the deadline, not the last minute. You see the number with time to plan the payment, not scramble for it.
IAS handled too
If you've got monthly IAS obligations (PAYG instalments, withholding), we handle those alongside the quarterly BAS. One less date for you to track.
GST reconciled to the dollar
The GST control accounts reconciled and checked before lodgement. So the figure on your BAS matches your books, and your books match the bank.
A heads-up before it's due
A short message before each lodgement: here's the BAS, here's what's payable, here's the date. No surprises landing in your inbox from the ATO.
who it's for
Trades & construction
Cash in, materials out, GST everywhere. You don't have time to code it all at 9pm before the deadline. We keep it coded all quarter so BAS is a non-event.
Cafes, retail & hospitality
Established venues with high transaction volume and mixed GST (some items GST-free). One miscoded quarter and your BAS is wrong. We code it right all quarter, so it isn't.
Agencies & creative studios
Project invoicing, overseas clients, GST-free exports in the mix. The treatment matters. We get it right so you're not over- or under-paying the ATO.
Ecommerce & online stores
Multi-platform sales, international orders, GST on imports. The GST picture gets messy fast. We reconcile every channel before BAS so the number's real.
Allied health & professional services
Some services GST-free, some not. Get the split wrong and BAS is a guess. We code the mix properly so your lodgement holds up.
Owners switching from a boring bookkeeper
You've had a late BAS, a penalty, or a quarter that turned into a fire drill. You want it lodged early, every time, by someone who replies. That's the job.

why us
1
No waiting weeks for a reply
Message us before 1pm on a working day and we get back to you the same day. A real human, not a ticket queue. Boring Barry replies in four days, usually after the deadline's gone.
2
Lodged early, not last-minute
Boring Barry lodges at 11:58pm on the due date, if at all. We aim for days ahead, so you see the number with time to plan the payment, not scramble for it.
3
Fixed price, no surprises
Pick a Pack, that's the price. BAS lodgement is included, not a "disbursement" or a surprise line item that appears every quarter. The hourly meter is the most boring invention in bookkeeping, so we binned it.
4
The number's right because the year was right
We don't cram a quarter of coding into the last week. GST is coded properly all year, so the BAS figure is accurate the moment it's due. Boring Barry "tidies up" the week before and hopes.
5
A Registered BAS Agent does the work
Not a junior, not "best efforts." A registered agent prepares and lodges it, authorised to deal with the ATO on your behalf. Boring Barry's registration may or may not be current. You'd have to ask him. Twice.
6
We chase you, not the other way around
We tell you the BAS is coming, what's payable, and when. You don't have to remember the date or wonder if it's been done. Boring Barry waits for you to ask, then takes three days to reply.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. One week. Done.

frequently asked questions
What does BAS lodgement cost?
BAS lodgement is included in every Pack. A fixed monthly fee priced by your team size, starting at $900 and stepping up by staff band. No separate BAS fee, no quarterly surprise line item, no "disbursements."
When is my BAS actually due?
Quarterly BAS is due on the 28th of the month after each quarter (28 Oct, 28 Feb, 28 Apr, 28 Jul). We aim to lodge days ahead of that, every quarter, so you've got time to plan the payment.
Do you really lodge early?
We don't wait for the deadline. The GST is coded all year, so once the quarter closes the BAS is basically ready. We check it, lodge it early, and send you the number with time to spare.
What if my BAS is already overdue?
If you've got overdue BAS, we'll sort it. We'll scope the catch-up, get the lodgements up to date, then keep you ahead of every deadline from there. Quoted upfront, fixed price.
Can you help with ATO penalties or debt?
If you're already facing ATO penalties or debt, we can help you get current and talk you through the options. We can't make penalties vanish, but we can stop new ones landing.
Do you handle monthly IAS too?
Yes. If you've got monthly IAS (PAYG instalments or withholding), we handle those alongside the quarterly BAS. One less date for you to track.
My GST coding is a mess. Can you fix it?
Yes. If your GST coding is a mess, we fix it before we lodge. Miscoded income, "GST on Income" used as a lazy default, the lot. We get it right so the BAS holds up.
How fast do you reply?
Message us before 1pm on a working day and we get back to you the same working day. A real human, not a queue. No "I'll get to it next quarter."
How quickly can you start?
Within a week of you saying yes. We'll diagnose the GST coding, quote your Pack, take over, and the next BAS is ours. Lodged early.
What if I'm not happy?
30-day money back, no questions. If we haven't earned our spot in your first month, we refund the month in full and help you find someone else.
