Thanks to the team at Top Bookkeepers I am now paying a lot less to my accountants, and my Xero is always up to date. I highly recommend them.
Top Bookkeepers quickly picked up our entire bookkeeping process including our payroll procedures which are intricate and have specific complexities. It didn’t take long for the Top Bookkeeper’s staff member to become autonomous and provide a seamless transition from our old bookkeeper.
The customer service from Top Bookkeepers is absolutely exceptional. I have been supported through all aspects of my business by them.

We’ve got you covered with all of the bookkeeping and CFO services, plus payroll, BAS compliance, and getting your accounts payable and receivable sorted – essentially the whole package for Aussie businesses. But here’s the thing – we don’t simply crunch your numbers and leave it at that. We’ll actually sit down with you, walk you through your management reports, and help you spot those growth opportunities so you can make decisions that’ll really move the needle for your business.
Quite simple, actually. We use cloud accounting systems such as Xero and MYOB, so you’re able to access your financial information at any time, anywhere. We do it all remotely – reconciliations, preparing reports, the whole shebang – so there’s no piles of paper taking up space on your desk, and you’re free to get on with running your business.
Good question! Bookkeeping’s all about the nitty-gritty day-to-day – logging transactions, reconciliations, keeping the cogs ticking over. Accounting’s more of the high-level work, such as tax planning, financial analysis, and strategy. Here at Top Bookkeepers, we kind of do both. We’ll manage your books, sure, but we’ll also help you understand what those numbers are actually telling you about your business and where you could be heading.
They’re a real game changer, honestly. You get real-time access to your financials, heaps of the boring repetitive stuff get automated, and you can forget about manual data entry and filing cabinets full of paper. What that means for you is quicker reports, easier back-and-forth with your bookkeeper, and you can make smart calls on the spot – all while keeping the ATO happy with compliance.
Look, it’s about reclaiming your time and maintaining cost. When you outsource, you’re accessing experienced individuals who know their job and remain abreast of all the compliance laws and current practices. Rather than attempting to do payroll, BAS, and reconciliations yourself, you can stick to what you’re good at – business growth – while we take care of the numbers and provide you with sound strategic guidance along the way.
