Beauty Manufacturer in Adelaide Hills Gets a Bookkeeping Makeover

A beauty manufacturer based in the Adelaide Hills area needed help with her bookkeeping as her business grew. She had been managing it herself in the early stages to reduce costs, but over time it became difficult to keep up. Her BAS was often left until close to the deadline. Receipts were not consistently organised, and there was no regular cash flow reporting in place. As a result, it was getting harder to track how the business was performing and where exactly her money was going. This also meant less time could be spent on actually running and growing her business.

After searching for bookkeeping services in Adelaide Hills, she contacted Darcy Bookkeeping and Business Services through an online enquiry and received a response shortly after.

What Our Adelaide Hills Bookkeeper Delivered

We began by finding out the needs of the company and reviewing her existing system in Xero accounting software. BAS was due soon, so we got that sorted out first and then went through the accounts and reconciled the receipts. We created financial reports so the owner could easily analyse her profits and losses. She was shocked to find out she was wasting so much money on things she didn’t need, so she cut some subscriptions and switched to alternative programs where she could. 

After everything had been caught up and the owner had a clear picture of her finances, we continued to provide full-service support, including creating and managing invoices, receipt reconciliation, BAS preparations and all end-of-year tax obligations.

The owner was able to put all of her focus back onto running her business, and instead of managing her finances all on her own, all she had to do was check in. Now she had a clear overview of how everything was going, was saving money she didn’t even realise she had been wasting before, and could continue working on expanding her business with greater focus. She was able to stop worrying about her finances all the time and go forward with confidence that it was all being kept up to date and done accurately. 

Our Adelaide Hills full-service bookkeeping support included:

• Bringing reconciliation back up to date.
• Organising, creating, sending and maintaining invoices.
