What our clients are saying

Gold Coast Unique Homes

We have been using Darcy Bookkeeping for years now on a weekly basis to manage our MYOB bookkeeping requirements. The service provided has always been reliable and affordable. I would happily recommend this service to any business particularly if you are in the building industry.

Ecolectrical

We needed a bookkeeper urgently and after speaking to Darcy Bookkeeping I had confidence that we were in good hands. Our Xero bookkeeper who is a Xero certified I might add, looks after our bookkeeping weekly with minimal input from us. Highly recommended bookkeeping service.

Subway

I required a backlog of work to be completed as our previous bookkeeper had let us down. Our MYOB file needed some general tidying up and multiple BAS’s completed in a quick turnaround. Darcy Services did everything I needed and more by helping me with financial statements so I could see how our business was performing.

Guardian Criminal Law

Before we got in touch with Darcy Bookkeeping we had an internal admin person trying to manage the books for us. This situation was not ideal and it was causing some frustration. I wish I had gotten in touch with Richard and the team earlier. What a relief to hand across our bookkeeping service needs to a professional, who knows what their doing.

WeCare Medical Centre

A special thank you to the team for helping us with both our regular bookkeeping as well as our accounting and tax requirements. Very prompt and dependable service which is getting harder to find in today’s age. All our bookkeeping is provided at a fixed fee so we don’t have any surprise bills!

Homestyle Realty

These guys have been great to help with bank reconciliation and doing our quarterly BAS with MYOB. The team recommended that a move to Xero may be beneficial to our business saving us some time in processing. We agreed and the team made it a seamless process for us. Its Xero bookkeeping for us going forward now. Very pleased with the outcome.

Kylie Penhaligon

I have been bookkeeping for over 10 years now. I started working in big corporations however my real passion was to help small businesses in setting up their bookkeeping processes and ensuring that they can understand how their business is going financially.

I am qualified in accounting with a Bachelor's degree in accounting and psychology, I am also a registered BAS agent. Key Industries I have worked in are: health, medical, building and tradies (electrical, painting, roof maintenance), retail, E-commerce businesses, photography, consulting, and not for profit organisations like Churches. One of my key achievements is becoming a mother but on a profession note I take pride in my ability to relate quickly with my clients and understand their requirements. Also that my ability to ensure that bookkeeping isn't overwhelming for them but helping them understand the importance of it to analyse their future financial success of the business. The key software programs that I have worked with are MYOB, Quickbooks Online, Xero and Saasu. I am a trained and certified Xero bookkeeper.

When I am not bookkeeping I like to spend time hiking, reading, horse riding and spending time with my family.

What Are The Advantages Of Outsourcing Bookkeeping?

Advantages

Tell me why

Ensure that you are never without a Perth bookkeeper

What happens if you need the payroll completed tomorrow, but your bookkeeper has resigned? We can assure you that, with a team of bookkeepers as large as ours, you will not be left stranded in the event your current bookkeeper suddenly resigns. Many of our clients have been caught in this situation, and we have helped them escape it. As a result, they continue to use our bookkeeping Perth and BAS services with the confidence that they will never be caught in the same situation again.

Improve profitability by reducing fixed overheads

Outsourced bookkeeping services such as ours can help you reduce costs by eliminating the need for office space, computers, and stationery costs associated with an in-house bookkeeper. Using a service like ours will only change fees as the workload increases or decreases. It is no longer necessary for you to scramble to find work for your on-staff bookkeeper to ensure they will have enough hours to remain employed.

Take advantage of our many years of experience

Our extensive experience working with thousands of clients allows our bookkeepers to bring the best systems, processes, and applications to your organisation. Using software automation and industry best practices, we can help you make your accounting processes more efficient, saving you time and money. Moreover, you can protect your business against embezzlement and fraud by utilising our proven systems.

Always meeting ATO reporting and lodgement deadlines

To maintain our registration as BAS agents and bookkeepers, we must complete a minimum of continuing professional education hours each year. Also, we keep up with changes in tax law and business reporting requirements to ensure that your business still follows all the rules and meets lodgement deadlines.

Identifying areas where your business can save money

Each member of our bookkeeping team is highly qualified and skilled in their field. Furthermore, we can assist you with identifying potential cost reductions using up-to-date financial information that is straightforward for you as a business owner or manager to understand and use. Also, we take pride in our ability to provide you with superior bookkeeping services than most on-staff bookkeepers. Therefore, we can reduce the cost of your ongoing bookkeeping needs.

Insured to protect you from losses

Professional Indemnity Insurance is required of all registered BAS Agents. You are protected from loss if our bookkeeping work causes a liability to your business where we make an error. This applies to most professional services businesses that you engage. This is an advantage we have over an in-house bookkeeper, where on the off chance we make an error we will also correct the error for no additional charge.

Flexibility that adapts to your business

Unlike lock-in contracts and minimum-hour charges, our Perth bookkeeping services are flexible and adapt to your business as it grows or slows. Following the terms of our agreement, we charge you a fee based on the work we perform on your accounts. However, for businesses requiring something specific, tailored fixed fee packages are also available. We specialise in helping small businesses across Australia, including freelancers and self-employed sole traders, start-up companies and contractors.
