Bas Lodgement / Bas Activity Statement
When it comes to balancing the books and keeping clients compliant with BAS, IAS monthly and quarterly lodgements that is what we do best. We offer either a regular service, lodging all your returns as they become due, or a one-off “as required” service – depending on your needs.
Using our services gives you an extended time to lodge and pay your BAS – how nice to know the money can stay in your bank for an extra month before handing it over to the ATO. Money in your account earning interest is better than money in the ATO account earning them interest!
As we are a BAS Agent, the ability for you to make use of the so-called “Safe Harbour” provisions. Broadly, this means that ATO penalties will no longer apply to you.

Account Reconciliation for Accommodation Businesses
Account reconciliation is the process of comparing internal financial records against monthly statements from external sources—such as a bank, credit card company, or other financial institution—to make sure they match up. Knowing how to reconcile your accounts accurately is essential for the financial health of your business, as it helps to detect any errors, discrepancies, or fraud.
When you use accounting software to reconcile accounts, the software does most of the work for you, saving you a good deal of time. However, the process still needs human involvement to capture certain transactions that may have never entered the accounting system, such as cash stolen from a “petty cash” box.
