Bookkeeping, BAS/GST, Payroll and Reporting Support for Australian SMEs

A dedicated, CA-supervised offshore accounting resource at Hive Support is priced from AUD 1,000 per month. This covers a full-time allocation for monthly bookkeeping, reconciliations, AR and AP management, and monthly reporting support. Pricing is based on the scope of work and the level of review required. Contact us for a proposal tailored to your business.

Yes. Most of our Australian clients use Xero and our team is experienced in Xero bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, chart of accounts review, and monthly reporting within the platform. We also work with MYOB, QuickBooks Online, and other accounting software. We work within your existing system — there is no need to switch platforms to work with us.

Keeping AR and AP up to date is one of the most common challenges for Australian SMEs without dedicated accounting staff. Unrecorded invoices, unreconciled payments, and aged balances that are never reviewed can cause cash flow problems and make BAS preparation difficult. Hive Support keeps your customer and supplier ledgers maintained on a regular basis — recording transactions, reconciling balances, flagging overdue items, and making sure your AR and AP position is reflected accurately in your monthly reports.

Yes. BAS support is part of our standard Australian bookkeeping service. We review GST coding, prepare BAS working papers, identify missing documents or unusual tax coding, and reconcile sales and purchase figures before BAS finalization. The actual lodgement with the ATO is typically completed by your registered BAS agent or tax accountant, but we prepare the underlying working papers and flag any issues in advance so there are no surprises close to the deadline.

It means your bookkeeping output is reviewed before it reaches you. At Hive Support, the work produced by our bookkeeping team goes through a review layer carried out by experienced Chartered Accountants. They check reconciliations, coding, balances, and reporting for accuracy and completeness. This review process is what separates a proper offshore accounting support arrangement from a basic data entry service, and it is particularly important for Australian businesses preparing for BAS, payroll reconciliation, or year-end review by their accountant.

No. Our service is fully remote and works for Australian businesses in any state or territory. We communicate via email, WhatsApp, or video call depending on your preference, and documents are shared through your accounting software or a shared folder. Location is not a factor in how we work.

That is a common situation and not a problem. Before starting regular monthly support, we review the current state of your records and identify what needs to be cleaned up. We can handle catch-up bookkeeping, bank reconciliation cleanup, supplier and customer balance corrections, and expense reclassification as part of an initial cleanup engagement. Once the books are in order, we move into the regular monthly support process.

Book a free consultation through our website. In the initial call, we discuss your current bookkeeping setup, accounting software, reporting needs, BAS cycle, and any cleanup requirements. We then prepare a scope of work and a proposal for your review. Once agreed, onboarding typically takes one to two weeks and covers software access, workflow setup, and document sharing arrangements.
