What this page is for

The operational layer of a Hills District business engagement.

BAS and bookkeeping are the recurring rhythm work — the bank-feed-and-coding side that has to run cleanly so the year-end company return is a confirmation, not a rescue. The Hills District small-business mix has a few distinct patterns worth setting out plainly.

Most Hills District small businesses we work with run on Xero. The bank feed is usually live, the chart of accounts is usually intact, and payroll usually sits inside Xero rather than a separate platform. The work is therefore less about migration and more about discipline — keeping coding consistent, reconciling the clearing accounts each month, catching GST treatment issues at the transaction level rather than at quarter-end, and ensuring payroll and STP are properly finalised at year-end.

The engagement runs on a predictable monthly cadence. Bank feeds get a weekly or fortnightly pass. Supplier invoices are coded against a documented chart of accounts. Payroll runs on the scheduled day. The trial balance is reviewed monthly. BAS is prepared and lodged in the first week of the quarter following. The annual return is then a clean exercise on top of accurate working numbers.

Quarterly rhythm

What happens in a BAS quarter.

Bank-feed and coding

Weekly or fortnightly bank-feed review across operating and credit accounts. Supplier coding to the chart of accounts. Contractor payment reconciliation. Foreign-currency entries reconciled at the bank-rate used.

Payroll & STP

Payroll runs on the scheduled cycle. Super contributions reconciled monthly. STP submissions confirmed each pay cycle. Year-end STP finalisation reconciled against the trial balance before submission.

Month-end close

Clearing accounts cleared. Suspense balances investigated. Owner-drawings vs director-fees vs Div 7A discipline checked. Quarterly close reviewed against management figures.

BAS preparation

GST reconciled from coded transactions. PAYG-W reconciled from payroll. PAYG instalments confirmed against the ATO instalment notice. Reconciliation report produced before lodgement.

Review & lodge

BAS reviewed against the trial balance and the prior quarter for sanity. Lodgement via Online Services for Agents under our tax-agent registration. Lodgement confirmation issued to the business owner.

Payment / refund

Payment instructions provided where a BAS payment is due. Refunds flagged where the position is a credit. Any ATO correspondence following the lodgement is handled as agent on your behalf.

Tier options

Pick the engagement tier that fits your stage.

Stand-alone BAS

From $440 incl. GST per quarter. Suited to businesses with in-house bookkeeping where the role of the practice is to review, reconcile and lodge. The cleanest tier when your Xero is already disciplined.

Bookkeeping + BAS retainer

From $660 per month plus GST. Suited to businesses that want the practice to own day-to-day Xero discipline — bank reconciliation, supplier coding, payroll, STP and the BAS. Quarterly BAS becomes a non-event.

Virtual CFO + bookkeeping

From $1,000 per month plus GST. Bookkeeping + BAS + monthly management reporting, cashflow forecasting, KPI tracking and quarterly strategic review. Suited to growing $1m–$20m businesses.

Compliance bundle

BAS + bookkeeping + annual financial statements + the company / trust tax return + the year-end planning conversation, scoped as one annual engagement so the full rhythm is visible up front.

Frequently asked questions

BAS & bookkeeping — common questions.

A quarterly BAS engagement covers GST reconciliation from your accounting system, PAYG withholding on wages, PAYG instalments where applicable, and lodgement via the ATO Online Services for Agents portal under our registered tax agent registration (TPB 25523469). Where there are reconciliation issues — supplier coding errors, GST treatment questions, bank-feed gaps — we flag them up front rather than papering over them.
