Perth Bookkeeping

Scale Suite provides professional bookkeeping services to Perth businesses across all industries. Our qualified bookkeepers deliver weekly Xero bookkeeping, BAS preparation and lodgement, catch-up services, and ongoing reconciliation management for small to medium businesses throughout Perth and Western Australia.

Weekly bookkeeping, not monthly, so your numbers are always current. Perth businesses benefit from the time zone difference: your reconciliations and reports are processed during AEST hours and ready before your WA working day starts.

Perth bookkeeping services for business owners.

Gray icon of a star
Expert Perth bookkeeper

Our Sydney-based team brings bookkeeping experience from Big 4 firms, startups, and multinationals, delivering tailored bookkeeping services for Perth SMEs across all industries. As Chartered Accountants and registered BAS Agents, we understand how daily bookkeeping translates into financial statements and strategic decisions. The three-hour time difference means your books are updated before you start your day.

Bookkeeping without the stress

We can handle your full bookkeeping function or work alongside your Perth team to take away the reconciliations and compliance tasks you don't want to do. We integrate through shared platforms with same-day responses during WA business hours, working alongside your internal team and annual tax accountant. Get responses within hours, not days with the added advantage of us getting a head start.

Affordable expertise

Our bookkeeping services start from $1,500/month, a fraction of the $65,000-$80,000 annual cost of an in-house bookkeeper in Perth including super and leave. WA's tight labour market can make finding and keeping reliable bookkeepers difficult. No lock-in contracts and a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try us risk-free. If you're not happy with our services then you are not locked into a long contract.

What we offer

Weekly & Monthly Reconciliations

We perform comprehensive bank and credit card reconciliations to ensure your financial records match your statements exactly.

Our systematic weekly approach identifies discrepancies early, maintains accurate cash positions, and provides you with reliable data for cashflow reporting and decision-making. Weekly reconciliations keep your books current rather than waiting until month-end, while monthly reconciliations ensure comprehensive accuracy for reporting periods.

Bank Account & Card Allocations

Our team manages the proper allocation and coding of all bank transactions, credit card expenses, and electronic payments in Xero.

We ensure every transaction is correctly categorised according to your chart of accounts, making BAS preparation seamless and providing clear visibility into where your money is going. This includes managing multiple bank accounts, credit cards, and payment platforms.

GST Mapping

We handle all aspects of GST compliance including proper GST coding for income and expenses, ensuring accurate GST collection and claims.

Our systematic approach to GST mapping and transaction coding reduces errors, maximises your GST refunds, and ensures compliance with ATO requirements. We stay updated on GST rule changes to keep your business compliant.

Data Entry & Chart of Accounts Maintenance

Professional data entry of all financial transactions with accuracy and attention to detail. We maintain and optimise your chart of accounts structure to provide meaningful financial reporting that helps you understand your business performance.

Regular cleanup and organisation ensures your financial data remains useful and accessible.

BAS & IAS Assistance

Complete preparation and lodgement of your Business Activity Statements (BAS) and Instalment Activity Statements (IAS).

As registered BAS Agents, we ensure accurate reporting of GST, PAYG withholding, and other business obligations, meeting all ATO deadlines while maximising your entitlements. Our review process catches errors before submission, avoiding costly penalties.

Year-End Audit Preparation

We prepare comprehensive year-end documentation and work directly with your tax accountant to streamline the audit process. This includes organising all necessary paperwork, preparing detailed trial balances, and providing clear documentation of transactions.

Our liaison service ensures smooth communication between all parties and faster completion of your annual accounts.

Books Catch-Up Service

Behind on your bookkeeping? Our catch-up service brings your Xero records up to date efficiently and accurately. We work systematically through backlogged transactions, bank reconciliations, and reporting to get your books current.

Once caught up, we can transition you to our ongoing weekly service to keep everything on track.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the time difference between Sydney and Perth affect service?

It actually works in your favour. Our team operates on AEST, which is 2-3 hours ahead of Perth. This means your weekly reconciliations, BAS preparation, and financial reports are often completed before your Perth workday starts. We communicate through shared platforms and respond same-day to all queries regardless of the time zone difference.

How much does a bookkeeper cost in Perth?

Our weekly bookkeeping packages start from $1,500/month. An in-house bookkeeper in Perth typically costs $60,000-$75,000 annually including super and leave, and Perth's tight labour market means recruitment can take months. Outsourcing to us means instant access to a qualified team with no recruitment risk, delivering weekly reconciliations and BAS lodgement at a fraction of the cost.

Do you handle WA-specific compliance?

Yes. Our team understands Western Australian payroll tax thresholds and rates, which differ from eastern states. We process payroll through Xero with STP Phase 2 compliance and manage super, leave tracking, and award interpretation for your WA-based employees. Your annual tax accountant handles WA-specific tax lodgements while we manage the day-to-day bookkeeping and compliance.

Do you work with mining and resources businesses?

Yes. We work across all industries including mining services, resources, construction, and trades, which are prominent in Perth's economy. These industries often have unique bookkeeping challenges around project-based revenue, contractor payments, FIFO payroll, and equipment depreciation. Our team has the experience to handle these complexities through Xero.
