Bookkeeping Strategy Session

As a business owner, you can’t be expected to know it all.

If the bookkeeping side of things is confusing for you and you’re worried you’re not doing things correctly, this session will help you understand the basics and identify what you need to do so you are in control in this area.

You’ll meet with Lisa Stoneham, an experienced and qualified bookkeeper, who will demystify the day to day financial management side of running a business. As a result, you’ll save hours and find it so much easier to stay on top of your bookkeeping yourself.

This is a 1 hour session, conducted remotely via Zoom.

Xero Health Check

Xero is marketed as the simple solution for small business accounting but when you’re spinning a dozen ‘business owner plates’ every day, it is easy to let things fall through the cracks and fail to take all the right steps.

If you don’t use Xero the right way, you will end up with unidentified expenses, payments that can’t be reconciled and balance sheets that make no sense. As a result, you will have no idea where you stand financially.

Let Straight Forward Accounting Solutions untangle your Xero account with a health check.

Who is this service for?

This health check is ideal for any business owner currently using Xero accounting software who is looking to get the most optimal use of the platform.

After your check, you’ll feel more confident that you are managing your bookkeeping in the most effective and efficient way so you can access accurate and up to date information about your financial status.

Xero Training

Learn from a Xero Certified Advisor.

When you start a business, you will hear plenty of people saying, “Just use Xero!”

It definitely makes sense to use this cloud-based platform for your accounting but it can feel overwhelming to figure it out yourself, especially when you are trying to run a business.

Straight Forward Accounting Solutions has created Xero Training to make it easy for you to make the most of Xero and keep it up to date yourself.

This is a 2 hour session conducted on-site at your premises (within the Bayside area of Melbourne) or online via Zoom specific to your needs.
