Beany's Starter Pack

It’s a big deal to set up and run your own business, but more and more Australians are doing it. And for good reason, you can gain a lot from going out on your own – more flexibility, being your own boss, or fulfilling a lifelong dream.​

Whatever your why, it’s still not easy. No good thing is. Maybe you’re still in the idea phase, you’ve literally just started, or you’re a few months in. You’re great at what you do. One of the best. But you don’t know what you don’t know. Compliance, chart of accounts, registering your company name, structures, BAS, year-end, marketing, systems…​

You can’t escape it – there’s loads to consider. But don’t worry, Beany has got your back with our Starter Pack.​

Frequently asked questions

I know what services I'm interested in:If you already know what services will work for you, you can complete our client registration here. You'll then receive an activation email for your client portal. From here, follow the steps to add your business details and the services you require. After this, you'll then be prompted to begin client onboarding, which covers all the authority to act, anti-money laundering checks etc... (as accountants, we are required by law to complete all these things before we can act as your tax agent).I'd like to know more:Book a free consultation where we can learn about your business and discuss your accounting requirements. Think of it as a free chat to establish if we're the right fit for you. After the call, we'll provide a quote for any services discussed and an outline of what the next steps are for coming on board.
By law, we can only work as your accountant once all the ATO authorities and anti-money laundering checks are completed (including any third parties that we require checks for). We also have a few internal processes to complete, such as ethical clearance from your past accountant.Once all onboarding is finished, we email you an introduction and calendar link to book in your new client meeting with your accountant.
We will provide help or guidance on any quick day-to-day accounting query without charging anything extra. The types of things we get asked range from coding and invoicing queries to when tax is due.We have a client support team of experienced bookkeepers and payroll experts who are the first point of contact for these sorts of questions. If you ask anything too complex, they'll pass it onto your accountant to answer.You can email and call our client support team as often as you like. We always aim to respond within 24 hours, although at peak times of year it may be longer.If you require some out-of-scope work, such as preparing a cash flow summary for the bank, or working through a specific tax issue, we'll let you know any extra cost in advance.
Beany has a 12 month commitment for our accounting packages. This is because the monthly payment you make is actually the total cost for the year, split into 12 monthly payments, as a payment plan.We operate like this to give you certainty about the cost of your compliance, and to smooth cashflow for your business rather than a big bill at the end of each period.
