A successful bookkeeper = a successful business owner
As a Bookkeeper it’s my job to manage the regular tasks ie

– Help in keeping your end of year accounting bills
– Assist with avoiding to pay late penalties by making sure the GST, PAYG Tax and Superannuation, compliance obligations are taken care of
– Free your time so you can work on your business rather than trying to do all the tasks of a bookkeeper
– Minimise the risk of fraud by having another set of eyes to check and oversee your accounts
– Conduct ongoing auditing and assurance
– Having someone on your side that can advise and support you in areas of your business that you may not be as knowledgeable.
As a Bookkeeper and BAS agent, I am registered with the Tax Practitioners Board and I am required and have the skills and knowledge of general accounting principles, relevant legislation and up to date current best practices.

JobSaver boost
https://www.nsw.gov.au/media-releases/major-jobsaver-boost-to-expand-covid-19-support
This extract has been taken from the link above.
‘The joint NSW Government and Commonwealth JobSaver program will be significantly boosted to give greater support to businesses and individuals impacted by the extended lockdown.
JobSaver payments will now be available to businesses with an annual turnover of between $75,000 and $250 million, up from $50 million, which have experienced a revenue decline of 30 per cent or more.
The maximum weekly payment has also been substantially increased, with employing businesses that maintain their employee headcount now able receive between $1500 and $100,000 per week, up from $10,000, with payments based on 40 per cent of their weekly NSW payroll.
Applications for JobSaver opened on Monday with more than 14,000 applications already received and almost $28 million approved for payment so far. Payments are expected to start hitting bank accounts from 31 July.
Businesses can expect to receive funds in their accounts within five to ten business days from their approval date, and the arrangements announced today will be backdated, so businesses that have already received a first payment on previous settings will be topped up when their next payment is made.
JobSaver payments are available from week four of the lockdown. Non-employing business remain eligible for a maximum of $1000 per week.
Businesses have also received much needed support from the 2021 COVID-19 Business Grant to cover the first three weeks of lockdown, with more than $118 million paid to businesses so far from more than 56,000 applications received.

How certain are you that your business will continue with these constant lockdowns?
From what I am hearing from business owners, many are very fearful that their business may not survive all these lockdowns.
Do you think any business is lockdown proof?
Personally, my business as a virtual bookkeeper has expanded and I’m way more busier than ever, looking after new and existing clients, answering questions, helping them with their BAS and sometimes just being a counsellor and listening to their problems. These lockdowns are affecting all different kinds of businesses, not just your cafes and restaurants and retail, but those that depend on stock from delivery interstate, those that have staff on the other side of the border that can’t get through and the pain of these lockdowns is trickling through and affecting other businesses.
It’s a surreal situation for all business owners and when we look back at this, we will look out how we survived, did we pivot, did we just dig deeper, did we actually notice the pandemic, some businesses it hasn’t had any impact, some are obtaining more business and taking it while the iron’s hot as they say.
What about you and your business? Will it continue with these constant lockdowns?
If you need a bookkeeper and need help, you know I am here to help you through it all.
