Bookkeeping and Payroll

Good bookkeeping is the foundation of everything else in your business. When your records are accurate and up to date, you have a clear picture of how things are really tracking, and you're in a much stronger position to make good decisions. Spotting opportunities to improve cash flow, reduce costs, or plan ahead becomes a lot easier when you can trust the numbers in front of you.

Keeping your books in order shouldn't take you away from running your business. That's where we come in. Beany's bookkeeping is available as an add-on to your accounting package, with your books and payroll handled by a dedicated team, so you always have clean numbers to make decisions from and a payroll process your team can count on.

Our bookkeeping team can help with any of the following:

  • Bank and credit card reconciliation
  • Accounts payable and receivable
  • Fixed asset management and reporting
  • Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping for prior periods
  • Payroll processing and IRD compliance

How expert bookkeeping helps your business

Payroll accuracy every time

We stay ontop of filing deadlines and IRD requirements so your team gets paid correctly.

Fewer errors

Consistent, accurate bookkeeping catches issues early before they turn into bigger problems later.

A clear financial picture

When your books are current, the reports you rely on for decision-making actually reflect what's happening in your business right now.

Tax time made easier

Tidy books means your accountant can process your annual accounts faster at year-end.

Our hourly bookkeeping rate is $75+GST.
