BAS Services for Small Business & Tradies

Simple, stress-free BAS support so you can stay compliant and in control.

If BAS time makes your stomach drop, you’re not alone. Many small business owners, tradies, and solopreneurs struggle with BAS because they’re busy running the business, not studying tax law.

We help you prepare for BAS the right way: organised books, clear records, and guidance from a registered BAS Agent who can review and lodge on your behalf. You get clarity, confidence, and BAS done on time without the overwhelm.

What We Help With

- BAS preparation & organisation

- GST reporting (draft and review)

- PAYG withholding (draft and review)

- Payroll & STP alignment for BAS periods

- Review and lodgement by a registered BAS Agent

- Ongoing bookkeeping to keep BAS simple each quarter

- Support for Xero, MYOB & QuickBooks users

Note: If support is provided by a bookkeeper who is not yet registered, all BAS services are completed under the supervision of a registered BAS Agent in line with TPB requirements.

Who This Is For

We support:

- Tradies & construction businesses

- Service-based solopreneurs

- Small teams ready to outsource their BAS

- Business owners who feel behind or disorganised

- Anyone who wants BAS done properly and professionally

If you’ve ever said “I’m behind, I don’t know where to start, or I just don’t want to get it wrong,” you’re in the right place.

Is it important to have both a bookkeeper and an accountant for BAS?

Yes and here’s why.
Your BAS is only as accurate as the bookkeeping it’s based on. A bookkeeper keeps your financial records up to date, while an accountant or registered BAS Agent reviews and lodges the final figures. When both are working together, your BAS is not only compliant, it’s correct.

Think of it like building a house:

The bookkeeper lays the foundation and framework

The accountant/BAS Agent signs off to meet regulations

One without the other can lead to errors, missed claims, or last-minute stress at BAS time.

Why do I need both for BAS?

1. Accuracy first, compliance second.

A bookkeeper prepares:

Transaction coding

Bank reconciliations

Payroll and STP alignment

Correct GST treatment on income & expenses

A BAS Agent/accountant then reviews and lodges with the ATO.
Both roles protect you in different ways.

2. It reduces risk and avoids costly mistakes.

When bookkeeping and BAS are handled separately but collaboratively:

GST is claimed correctly

PAYG is reported accurately

Errors get picked up before lodgement

This reduces the risk of:

Overpaying tax

Underpaying tax

ATO queries or penalties

3. It saves money in the long run.

Most accountants charge more to “clean up” messy books.
Clean, up-to-date bookkeeping = faster BAS review = lower accounting costs.

It’s genuinely cheaper to do it right the first time.

4. Clear roles bring clarity, not confusion.

Bookkeeper = prepares and organises the data

BAS Agent/Accountant = reviews, advises, lodges

You’re not doubling up — you’re covering both sides of what BAS actually requires.Yes — and here’s why.
Your BAS is only as accurate as the bookkeeping it’s based on. A bookkeeper keeps your financial records up to date, while an accountant or registered BAS Agent reviews and lodges the final figures. When both are working together, your BAS is not only compliant, it’s correct.
