Gympie Bookkeeping Service Helps Local Butcher Slice Through the Numbers

A butcher in Gympie was expanding rapidly, leaving the owner thrilled but also very stressed out, which led him to reach out to a local Gympie bookkeeper. He had done his research and set up Xero accounting software with the intention of saving money by doing his own bookkeeping. But as the business grew, this became harder and harder. He had fallen completely behind on reconciliation, lost track of his cash flow and would often come close to forgetting to lodge his BAS statements. He didn’t even want to think about what he was going to do at the end of the year.

It had already reached the point where he was spending his evenings sorting out the books instead of getting much-needed rest after a long day’s work. Eventually, the butcher decided he’d had enough and reached out to a Gympie bookkeeping service to help him catch back up.

What Our Gympie Bookkeeper Delivered

We at Darcy Bookkeeping & Business Services in Gympie got started by reviewing the Xero bookkeeping setup. We found multiple reconciliation errors, which we were able to fix, organised receipts and invoices, and ensured expenses were being correctly categorised.

From there, we were able to generate profit and loss statements, balance sheets and cash flow reports. Having these laid out made it simple for the butcher to understand his financial position and make more informed decisions.
We also took over payroll processing, meaning he no longer had to start work two hours early once a week to make sure his staff got paid on time. On top of that, we handled his BAS preparation and tax lodgements, so end-of-year deadlines were no longer something to dread.
To summarise, our Gympie bookkeeper managed:

• Catching up and correcting reconciliation errors in Xero
• Organising receipts, invoices, and expense categories
• Generating financial reports for improved financial clarity and decision-making
• Taking over payroll processing, superannuation and PAYG
• Preparing and lodging BAS and end-of-year tax reports
• Ongoing Gympie Xero bookkeeping support
