Frequently Asked Questions
What does a small business accountant do?
A small business accountant manages key financial tasks such as bookkeeping, BAS preparation, tax returns, and payroll. But their role often goes beyond compliance — they help analyse your financial data to support budgeting, planning, and forecasting. Accountants can also assist with setting up cloud software, streamlining systems, and making sure your business is structured in the most tax-effective way possible.
How can fixed-fee accounting save me money?
Fixed-fee packages give you access to a full range of accounting services without unpredictable billing. This means you can get support whenever you need it, instead of delaying tasks or advice to avoid additional costs. It also helps you budget more accurately and ensures regular check-ins with your accountant, which can help identify financial risks and opportunities early.
Is Xero enough, or do I still need an accountant?
Xero is a powerful tool, but it doesn’t replace professional advice. An accountant ensures your software is set up properly, your data is accurate, and your decisions are based on sound interpretation — not guesswork. Software can handle transactions, but accountants can guide strategic planning, tax efficiency, and compliance in a way no app can.
When should I hire a small business accountant?
If you're unsure about your financial reports, constantly chasing receipts, or struggling with cashflow, it's time. Accountants can help at any stage — whether you're just starting out or looking to grow. They provide peace of mind, free up your time, and offer the clarity you need to run your business with confidence.
