Bookkeeping and Payroll

Stewart & Smith outsourced Bookkeeping and Payroll services are tailored to your business needs. Our team of commercially focused experienced bookkeepers understand that Financial data drives your key decision making and the integrity and accuracy of that data starts with your bookkeeper.

Our professional team will work with you so you can concentrate on running your business. We work with businesses across all stages of their lifecycle, from sole traders who need back office support, early stage entrepreneurs looking for a trusted solution as they develop their business and raise capital, to larger more mature businesses who need a larger scale solution, which might include Virtual CFO and Tax services  including preparation of monthly Financial Reports, Board Papers, Budgets and Cashflow forecasts and Tax returns.

Our bookkeeping & payroll team are experts in Cloud based accounting & payroll packages including Xero, MYOB and Quickbooks however they also handle more industry specific accounting solutions that other outsourced bookkeeping providers cannot work with.  This is particularly important if you have a key person dependency in your current internal bookkeeper who may be transitioning from your business.

We will build a solution that will suit your needs now and over the long-term, and design processes that will streamline your back office bookkeeping and payroll functions.  Our full range of services can be bundled into a fixed fee that brings certainty to your cashflow and expense line, as well as bespoke solutions around your unique business requirements.
