Book keeping service

Posted on by Carolina Jaramillo

McAdam Siemon Business Accountants Upper Mt Gravatt, Noosa Heads & Maroochydore. Specialising in Accounting, Taxation, Management Rights, SMSF Administration, Business Advisory, Business Valuations and more, MS Bookkeeping Solutions, V

As the digital world continues to change at a seriously fast pace we recognised the need to establish a book keeping service for our clients to ensure that they are using the correct accounting package effectively and efficiently for their business to save time and money. 

The book keeping service is charged at book keeping rates and everything is fix price upfront  (we don’t use timesheets) 

The services we offer you are: 

  1. Establish and set up accounting package
  2. Training
  3. Ongoing book keeping services from monthly reconciliations to full service (payroll, debtors, creditors reconciliations)

Our experience to date is that clients have either been able to take back the book keeping service, saving them thousands of dollars, to reducing staff due to increased efficiencies. 

Samantha O’Rielley heads our book keeping division and is a qualified accountant. 

She is an accredited Xero accountant with many years’ experience having run her own bookkeeping business.   

Please feel free to contact her to discuss your bookkeeping needs.

February 2016 Testimonial

” Having been a small business owner for over 10 years the time and cost of doing BAS every quarter was considerable. Xero has been a great introduction to our business not just in reducing time and cost but the reporting available really helps us manage our cash flow and the support and training from McAdam Siemon and especially Sam O’Rielly has been fantastic “

Tax file numbers (TFN)

Forwarding documents with Tax file numbers

As you would be aware Privacy laws were significantly strengthened a couple of years ago with substantial penalties for both individuals and corporations who breach the rules.
One of the areas covered is dealing with tax file numbers.
It is now assumed that sending of emails is not a secure form of communication.  The tax department is taking a stronger stance on the sending of documents with TFN’s and there are cases of where tax agents have had their licences cancelled because of privacy breaches.
Our system does allow for tax returns to be printed with the TFN’s left out
For this reason we have established the following rules:

  1. No document will be emailed with TFN’s attached
  2. Any document that requires the TFN to be retained will either be posted or uploaded to our secure portal area which you can access via a password.
  3. Annual tax returns, if been emailed, will be sent with no TFN’s attached however your name, entity details will be shown to confirm that the return provided is the correct one.

 
If you have any questions or concern please do not hesitate to contact one of the team at McAdam Siemon.

Are you thinking about buying a franchise?

Are you thinking about buying a franchise?

Before you do, you should assess whether or not you are the right kind of person to own a business.

  • Have you a passion for a particular type of business?
  • Are you dissatisfied in your present occupation?
  • You would like to work more flexible hours, more or less?
  • You want to be your own boss?
  • Will the pressures of a new business affect your significant others? Research shows that franchisees with highly supportive families perform better than those that don’t have this.
  • Do you have a strong desire to build wealth?
  • Do you have an ability to be creative and entrepreneurial but remain within the boundaries of a brand or a system?
  • Do you know how to lead a team?
  • Do you have strong organisational skills?
  • How much money are you thinking of investing?

The list goes on ……..

McAdam Siemon understands that a franchise business has unique features that differ from other businesses.

For that reason, we have established a franchising division and are members of the Franchising Accountants Network, so timely and accurate advice can be provided to you.

So that you can make informed decisions, we have a structured approach to the way we deal with franchising from buying through to selling.

These have been specifically designed for the franchise industry sector and you will be advised of the costs upfront.

If you would like to discuss buying into a franchise, do your due diligence first, and/or give Rob a call to find out how I can help you.
