Client stories

What our clients say

Business owners across Sydney trust us with their numbers.

“Since Accountant First took over our books, practitioner payments and RCTIs reconcile every month without chasing. Our quarterly reports finally make sense to the whole partner group.”
Dr. Mohammad Jasim UddinPractice Principal, Spring Farm Medical Centre
“Running a physio clinic, my time should go to patients, not paperwork. Accountant First set up our books in Xero, sorted out how we pay our contractor physios, and keep our BAS and payroll on time every quarter. Their tax planning before 30 June saved us more than their fee, and I finally understand our numbers each month.”
Camellia TaoukPhysiotherapist, Physio Hub
“Our monthly and quarterly management reports for Australia and New Zealand are always on time and easy to understand. It gives us a clear view of both businesses, and one fixed monthly fee makes budgeting easy.”
Hendra LeeDirector, Opal Coffee

FAQ

Common questions

Do your prices include GST?

No. All package prices are shown excluding GST. GST is added to your monthly direct debit.

What counts as a transaction?

Each line in your bank feeds or accounting file that needs to be coded, such as a sale, a purchase or a transfer. If you regularly go over your package limit, we'll suggest an add-on or the next package up.

What's the difference between Compliance Lite and Compliance Essentials?

With Compliance Lite, you do your own coding in the software and we review and lodge, with email support only. With Compliance Essentials, our team does your monthly bookkeeping and you get an annual review meeting.

My books are behind. Can I still join?

Yes. We'll quote any catch-up or clean-up work separately first, so your package starts from a clean, up-to-date set of records.

Can I change packages later?

Yes. As your business grows you can move up to a package with more support. We'll review whether your package still fits as your needs change.

Do the packages cover trusts, SMSFs or extra entities?

Each package covers the entities listed. Trusts, SMSFs and additional entities or tax returns can be added for a separate fee, which we'll confirm before starting.

Is accounting software included?

No. Your Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks Online subscription is paid separately. We can help you choose and set it up.
