SYDney BOOKKEEPER · MONTHLY BOOKKEEPING
THE SYDNEY BOOKKEEPER THAT ACTUALLY DOES YOUR BOOKKEEPING.
Weekly Xero reconciliation. Monthly P&L with a Plain English Report you can actually read. BAS-ready data, every month. One fixed price. Same bookkeeper every month. Zero radio silence.
Most Sydney bookkeepers reconcile your Xero once a quarter. We do it every Friday. Because three-week-old numbers are useless numbers.
our impact
What life looks like once Boring Barry's gone.
Monday Clarity
Open your phone, see your number. The question you used to wait three weeks for.
Zero Looms
Looms we'll send you explaining a figure we could've just texted. None. Ever.
Every Friday
Your Xero, reconciled. Every week. Not "end of quarter." Not "when I get to it."
what's included
Weekly Xero reconciliation
Every Friday, your Xero is reconciled to the bank. No 3-week-old numbers. By Saturday morning, your books are current and you know where you stand.
GST coding done properly
Every transaction coded to the right GST treatment. Not "GST on Income" as a lazy default. Means your BAS is accurate the moment it's due.
Monthly P&L with Plain English Report
You get the P&L the first week of every month, plus a two-paragraph summary written like a human. What happened, what it means, what to watch.
Bank feed monitoring
Bank feeds break. Stripe payouts duplicate. PayPal goes weird. We watch all of it and fix issues before they hit your P&L, not three months later.
Month-end review
Bank accounts reconciled, credit cards reconciled, GST balance sheet position checked, prepayments and accruals adjusted. The work that separates real bookkeeping from data entry.
Ad-hoc questions answered
Ad-hoc questions answered — Got a quick question about a transaction, a supplier or your P&L? Ask, and we'll get you a proper answer the same working day. No "I'll get to it next quarter."
who it's for
Trades & construction
You're running jobs, managing crews, chasing invoices. You don't have time to be the de facto bookkeeper at 9pm. We handle the Xero, BAS-ready data, monthly P&L.
Cafes, retail & hospitality
Suppliers calling about overdue invoices, a Xero file untouched in weeks, no time to fix it. Monthly bookkeeping rebuilds the rhythm so you stop firefighting.
Agencies & creative studios
Small team, books growing faster than your patience for them. Clean Xero, weekly reconciliation, a P&L you can actually read. The foundation.
Ecommerce & online stores
Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, Afterpay, multi-platform mess. We reconcile every payment processor weekly so your sales numbers are real, not a guess.
Allied health & professional services
Recurring billing, super, GST, BAS. The administrative load that eats into your patient hours. We handle the books so you handle the clients.
Owners switching from a boring bookkeeper
You've had it with 3-day reply times and Excel attachments. You want a real human, a fixed price, and books done weekly. That's most of who calls us.

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 acknowledging you and sorting it, not a full essay every time. Boring Barry replies in four days, usually after the deadline's gone.
2
Weekly Xero, not monthly guesswork
Boring Barry reconciles quarterly, if you're lucky. By the time you read his reports, the data's older than the milk in your office fridge. We reconcile every Friday so by Monday you know exactly what you can spend.
3
Fixed price, no surprises
Pick a Pack, that's the price. No "disbursements," no 0.4-hour line items, no "general administration" mystery charges. The hourly meter is the most boring invention in bookkeeping, so we binned it.
4
You're not just a number
A small team that actually knows your file, your suppliers and your quirks. Not a call centre reading your business for the first time every time you call. You ask, someone who knows your books answers.
5
Plain English Reports, written by humans
Every monthly P&L comes with a two-paragraph summary written like a human. What happened, what it means, what to watch. Boring Barry sends a 47-page PDF, then bills you to "discuss it." Nobody reads it. We send the version you'd actually read.
6
We only do one thing
Bookkeeping. Not tax returns, not financial advice, not a 12-tab spreadsheet pretending to be strategy. The day-to-day books, done weekly, done properly. Boring Barry dabbles in everything and masters none of it.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. One week. Done.

frequently asked questions
How much does monthly bookkeeping in Sydney cost?
A fixed monthly fee, priced by your team size. BAS Slayer starts at $900, Payroll Party at $1,500, The Lot at $2,200, and the price steps up by staff band from there. Same number every month, plus GST. No hourly meter.
What's actually included in monthly bookkeeping?
Weekly Xero reconciliation, GST coding done properly, bank feed monitoring, month-end review, a monthly P&L with a Plain English Report, and quick answers to your working-day questions. It's all listed above. No hidden line items.
How is this different from an accountant?
Bookkeepers handle the day-to-day: Xero reconciliation, BAS, payroll, monthly reporting. Accountants handle the year-end: tax returns, tax planning, structuring advice. You typically need both. We don't do tax returns; we hand your accountant clean books every June.
Are you a registered BAS Agent in Sydney?
Yes. We're a registered BAS Agent, authorised to lodge BAS, IAS and TPAR on your behalf. We lodge ahead of the deadline, every quarter, on principle.
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, which matters when payday's tomorrow.
Can you take over my messy Xero?
Yes. Xero Rescue Mission is one of our fixed-price add-ons. Files with hundreds of unreconciled transactions, a chart of accounts that looks like a ransom note, an account Boring Barry hasn't logged into for months. We sort it. Fixed price, quoted upfront.
What if my books are months behind?
Catch-Up Chaos Buster. A fixed-price catch-up engagement. We sort the backlog first, get your BAS current, then move you onto a monthly Pack so it never happens again. Quoted upfront.
Do I have to be on Xero?
We work exclusively in Xero, because it's the cleanest software for SMBs. If you're on MYOB or QuickBooks, we'll quote a migration as part of onboarding (fixed price, usually 1-2 weeks).
How quickly can you start?
Within a week of you saying yes. Day 1: free Xero Roast (15 minutes, we diagnose what's broken). Day 2-3: report back with what's wrong and your Pack quote. Day 4-7: we take over. From there, you stop thinking about it.
What happens 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. Simple as that.
