Accounting Services in Busselton, Margaret River and the South West

Practical accounting support to help your business run better

Running a business involves much more than providing a great product or service. Keeping your accounts up to date, managing payroll, staying on top of your tax obligations and understanding your financial position can take valuable time away from running your business.

At Accelerated Freedom Accounting, I provide practical and personalised accounting services to small businesses in Busselton, Vasse, Margaret River and throughout the South West of Western Australia.

Whether you need help getting your accounting software set up, ongoing bookkeeping, payroll and STP support, financial reporting or assistance understanding your numbers, I can tailor my services to suit your business.

Accounting Services for Small Businesses

Every business is different, which is why I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to accounting.

You may need someone to take care of your bookkeeping each month, help you get started with Xero, process your payroll or simply provide advice and support when you need it.

My accounting services can help you:

  • keep your financial records organised and up to date
  • stay on top of your bookkeeping
  • manage payroll, Single Touch Payroll (STP) and Payday super
  • prepare for your BAS and other reporting obligations
  • understand your profit and cash flow
  • produce useful financial reports
  • improve your accounting processes
  • get the most from Xero
  • make better-informed business decisions

My goal is to make your accounting simpler, so you can spend more time focusing on your business.

Xero Setup, Migration and Training

Get your accounting software working for you

Choosing accounting software or moving from an existing system can seem overwhelming. I can help you select, set up and configure an accounting system that suits your business.

As a Xero-focused accounting practice, I can assist with setting up your Xero file, migrating from another accounting system and making sure your accounts are configured correctly from the beginning.

Xero and accounting software services include:

Software setup
I’ll help set up your accounting file, chart of accounts, tax settings and other key features to suit your business.

Software migration
Moving from another accounting system? I can help transfer your financial information and make the transition as smooth as possible.

System configuration
Your accounting software should reflect the way your business operates. I’ll help configure the system to make your day-to-day accounting easier.

Training and support
Not sure how to use Xero? I can show you how to use the features that are relevant to your business and provide ongoing support when you need it.

The right setup can save you time, improve the quality of your financial information and make it much easier to keep your records up to date.

Bookkeeping Services

Keep your business records accurate and up to date

Good bookkeeping provides the foundation for good business decisions.

I provide bookkeeping services using Xero to help small business owners keep their financial records organised and have a clearer picture of how their business is performing.

Depending on your needs, bookkeeping support can include:

  • Xero setup and configuration
  • bank reconciliations
  • recording income and expenses
  • invoice management
  • accounts payable and receivable
  • payroll processing
  • GST and tax code checks
  • financial reporting
  • ongoing Xero support and training

You don’t necessarily need to spend your evenings catching up on your bookkeeping. Outsourcing your bookkeeping can give you more time to focus on your customers, staff and business.

Why keep your bookkeeping up to date?

Regular bookkeeping gives you better visibility over your business.

It can help you understand:

  • how much your business is earning
  • where your money is being spent
  • whether your expenses are increasing
  • what your cash flow looks like
  • how much you may need to set aside for tax
  • whether your business is on track to achieve its goals

Your accounting records should be useful to you throughout the year — not just something your accountant looks at when your tax return is due.

Payroll, Single Touch Payroll (STP) and Payday Super

Reliable payroll support for your business

Payroll can be time-consuming, particularly when you’re trying to manage employees, leave, superannuation and reporting requirements at the same time.

I can help manage your payroll and Single Touch Payroll (STP) requirements so you can have confidence that your payroll records and reporting are being properly maintained.

Payroll services can include:

  • payroll processing
  • calculation of wages and deductions
  • leave and employee record management
  • superannuation calculations and reporting
  • Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting
  • payroll reconciliations
  • end-of-year STP finalisation
  • ongoing payroll support
  • Payday Super compliance and payment support

Payday Super

From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay their employees’ superannuation at the same time as their wages, with super contributions required to reach employees’ super funds within 7 days of payday.

The introduction of Payday Super means businesses need to review their payroll processes and ensure their systems, cash flow and superannuation payments are set up to meet the new requirements.

I can help you understand what Payday Super means for your business and make sure your payroll processes are ready for the changes.

This can include reviewing your payroll procedures, helping you understand the new timing requirements and assisting with the accounting and reporting processes associated with your employees’ superannuation.

Payroll information is sensitive and needs to be handled accurately and confidentially. My aim is to take the administration off your hands while helping you keep up with your payroll, STP and superannuation obligations.

Financial Reporting and Management Information

Understand what your numbers are telling you

Your accounting records should do more than satisfy your tax obligations.

Regular financial reports can help you understand how your business is performing and identify areas that may need attention.

Depending on your business and your needs, I can provide reports such as:

  • Profit and Loss statements
  • Balance Sheets
  • cash flow information
  • management reports
  • business performance reports
  • budgets
  • cash flow forecasts
  • profitability analysis

I’ll help you understand what the numbers mean rather than simply handing you a report full of figures.

This can help you make informed decisions about pricing, expenses, staffing, equipment purchases, cash flow and future growth.

BAS and GST Support

Stay on top of your business reporting

Managing GST and Business Activity Statements can be confusing, particularly when you’re trying to run your business at the same time.

I can assist with reviewing your accounting records, checking GST treatment and preparing and lodging your quarterly BAS.

BAS support can include:

  • reviewing your Xero file
  • checking GST transactions and tax codes
  • reconciling accounts
  • preparing your BAS
  • lodging your BAS
  • reviewing PAYG instalments where applicable
  • answering your BAS and GST questions

Keeping your records up to date throughout the quarter makes BAS preparation much easier and gives you a better understanding of your business’s financial position.

Ongoing Accounting Support

An accountant you can talk to throughout the year

You don’t have to wait until tax time to speak to your accountant.

For businesses that want ongoing support, I offer accounting arrangements designed to provide assistance throughout the year.

Depending on the service package you choose, ongoing support may include:

  • regular bookkeeping assistance
  • quarterly BAS preparation and lodgement
  • financial statements
  • business and tax returns
  • business performance reporting
  • tax planning
  • Xero assistance
  • general accounting support

An ongoing accounting arrangement can also make your accounting costs more predictable and ensure you have someone available to help when questions arise.

More Than Just Bookkeeping

Good accounting isn’t simply about recording transactions.

It’s about using your financial information to understand where your business is now and where you want it to go.

As a Chartered Accountant with more than 20 years’ experience, I can help you look beyond the numbers and understand the bigger picture.

Whether you’re a sole trader, company, trust or partnership, I can help you with the accounting and financial information you need to manage your business with confidence.
