Bookkeeper V Accountant

Why you should consider a bookkeeper instead of an accountant

If you’re self-employed, one of your largest costs is probably your accountant whose hourly rates can range from $160 to $500/hour. Total Books Bookkeeping Services will prepare and lodge your BAS and meet your other bookkeeping needs at a fraction of their costs.

Bookkeeping is routine compared to accountancy, but complex enough that people who don’t know what they’re doing can make serious errors.

Bookkeeping in no way replaces the important job and role an accountant plays in the success of your business. So pay your accountant for the strategic tasks such as taxation, budgeting, analysis, financial reporting, and so on. A skilled and qualified bookkeeper will be able to ensure your information is correct and up-to-date on a day-to-day basis. It’s important to remember that how well an accountant can perform their job will rely quite heavily on what state your bookkeeping is in.
