Do you offer tax agent services as well as bookkeeping
Yes. Deb is a Registered Tax Agent with the Tax Practitioners Board and now offers Tax Agent Services alongside Deb-it Bookkeeping.
Can you prepare year end financial statements and annual income tax returns
Yes. Deb can prepare and lodge year end financial statements and annual income tax returns for businesses and individuals.
Can you lodge BAS and IAS as well as other ATO returns
Yes. BAS and IAS lodgements can be handled as part of ongoing bookkeeping work, and Deb can also lodge Fringe Benefits Tax Returns, Taxable Payments Annual Reports and Superannuation Guarantee Statements where needed.
Can you deal with the ATO on my behalf
Yes. Deb can manage ATO correspondence and help keep lodgements and follow up work moving in a clear, practical way.
How often should I do my bookkeeping
For most small businesses, weekly or fortnightly is ideal. It keeps reconciliations current, makes BAS time calmer, and helps you spot cash flow issues early. If your transaction volume is low, monthly can work.
Do you offer one off tidy ups or clean ups
Yes. If things have drifted or you have a backlog, Deb can do catch up and clean up work to bring your file up to date, then help you set a simple process so it stays tidy.
How long does a catch up usually take
It depends on how many months are behind, how clean the bank data is, and whether documents are available. After a quick look at your file and the transaction volume, Deb can give you a realistic plan and order of priorities.
What do you need from me to get started
- Your bookkeeping software access (invite Deb as a user where possible)
- Bank accounts connected to bank feeds where possible
- Your ABN and entity details
- BAS frequency and whether anything is overdue
- Whether you also need year end financial statements, income tax returns or other ATO lodgements
- Where you keep documents (email, Drive, Dropbox, Dext, etc)
Can you set up a new bookkeeping file from scratch
Yes. Deb can help you choose the right platform, set up GST settings, bank feeds, invoice templates, and a simple workflow for bills and receipts.
Can you work with my accountant
Yes. Deb can work directly with your accountant, or take care of more of the year end and lodgement work within Deb-it where that is the best fit.
What is included in ongoing monthly bookkeeping support
Typically this includes reconciliations, coding and review, keeping records organised, preparing reports, and BAS or IAS lodgements with supporting records where they are in scope. Payroll support can be included if needed.
Do you handle payroll, STP, and super
Yes, where it is in scope. This can include pay runs, payslips, leave tracking, and keeping payroll reporting current. Super processes can be supported based on how your business runs payroll.
What if I am not sure I am doing GST correctly
This is common. Deb can review the day to day coding so GST treatment is consistent, and BAS or IAS lodgements can be handled as part of the work. If something specialist sits outside the agreed scope, Deb will explain the next best step.
Do you help with management reports and cash flow
Yes. Once the file is clean and reconciled, Deb can provide management reporting and simple cash flow reporting so you can make decisions with confidence.
How do you keep my information secure
Deb uses secure access and agreed sharing methods. If you use the Client Portal, uploads go directly to secure storage rather than the WordPress media library.
What if I have multiple bank accounts or payment providers
No problem. Deb can reconcile multiple accounts and common payment platforms. Your quote will reflect the number of accounts, transaction volume, and complexity.
Can you help if I have mixed personal and business transactions
Yes. This is very common in small business. Deb can help set a clean process going forward and tidy historical records where possible.
What if I am behind on BAS
Deb can help bring the file up to date, prepare the outstanding work, and get you back on track. If there are deadlines, it is best to talk early so you have options.
Still unsure what you need?
If you are not sure where to start, that is normal. A quick look at your file usually makes the next step obvious.

You do not need perfect records to start. We just need a clear picture of what is happening now.
