The Empty Shoe Box

General bookkeeping

Reliable bookkeeping is the backbone of everyday business operations. From entering transactions and organising receipts to keeping records neat and up to date, it’s about making sure nothing slips through the cracks. With everything clearly recorded and easy to find, business owners can save time, reduce stress and make informed decisions based on accurate, current financial data.

BAS, IAS & PAYG preparation

Preparing BAS, IAS and PAYG obligations on time is an essential part of running a business. Accurate recordkeeping and regular reporting help avoid penalties and missed deadlines. With everything submitted correctly and on schedule, it’s easier to stay compliant and reduce last-minute admin pressure, leaving more time to focus on running the business day to day.

Accounts payable & receivable

Keeping track of what’s owed and what’s outstanding helps maintain healthy cashflow and avoid unnecessary delays. A reliable accounts payable and receivable process means bills are paid on time, customers are followed up appropriately, and the books clearly reflect the money coming in and going out. It’s a simple, structured way to stay in control and avoid surprises.

Bank account reconciliation

Reconciling bank accounts regularly makes sure that your business records match what’s actually happening in the bank. It helps to identify missed entries, duplicated transactions or errors that could throw off the numbers. Staying on top of this task improves the accuracy of financial reports and gives a clearer view of cashflow, making it easier to manage everyday finances with confidence.

Financial statements

Financial statements give business owners a clear picture of where things stand. With professionally prepared reports showing income, expenses, assets and liabilities, it becomes much easier to review performance, track growth and make better-informed decisions. Whether applying for finance, reporting to stakeholders or reviewing progress, accurate financial statements are a valuable part of staying in control.

Invoicing

A consistent invoicing process helps maintain steady cashflow. Sending out invoices on time, keeping track of payments, and following up on overdue accounts makes sure that income stays predictable and organised. It also supports accurate record keeping and saves time at the end of each month. Good invoicing habits can reduce admin workload and make business transactions run more smoothly.

Payroll management

Paying employees correctly and on time is essential. Payroll services cover wages, super, tax and leave entitlements, making sure everything is calculated and processed properly. Regular, accurate payroll reduces the chance of errors and helps meet compliance obligations. With reliable payroll support, businesses can stay on top of employee payments and maintain well-organised records across each pay period.

Superannuation management

Superannuation obligations need to be handled carefully and on time. Managing super contributions as part of the regular payroll cycle helps reduce the risk of late payments and missed deadlines. Staying compliant with super requirements also helps at audit time and makes sure that record keeping is accurate. It’s a straightforward way to manage a key part of employee entitlements.

Tax Services

Managing tax is an essential part of running any business, but it doesn’t need to be a source of stress. Accurate preparation and clear reporting help meet ATO requirements and avoid issues. From reviewing records to lodging returns, tax services support compliance and allow business owners to focus on daily operations with greater peace of mind and less admin pressure.

Cashflow management

Cashflow isn’t just about numbers – it’s about knowing what the business can afford and when. Tracking income and expenses helps avoid shortfalls, plan for slower periods throughout the year and stay ahead of upcoming costs. With clear, consistent cashflow reporting, business owners can manage day-to-day spending with more confidence and make informed decisions based on actual figures, not guesswork.
