20 minutes. We learn about your business, your current setup, and what's not working. You get a clear picture of what we'd do and what it would cost.
We set up or clean up your Xero file — chart of accounts, GST settings, bank feeds, payroll, and any historical catch-up work needed.
You send receipts through Dext or Hubdoc. We reconcile, code and report. Your books are current by the end of each month — not scrambled at year end.
We lodge your BAS, run your payroll, finalise STP, lodge TPAR if required — every deadline handled before it's due. You don't need to track them.
We work remotely with businesses across greater Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, the Surf Coast, and beyond.
All services delivered remotely — no office visit required.
A bookkeeper handles day-to-day financial records — reconciling bank transactions, preparing BAS, running payroll, and generating monthly reports. An accountant prepares your annual income tax return and provides tax strategy advice. Both roles are important; most Geelong small businesses need both. True Tally is the bookkeeping side — we work alongside your tax accountant to keep records clean year-round.
Yes. True Tally is Registered BAS Agent 26360186, registered with the Tax Practitioners Board (tpb.gov.au). This means we are legally authorised to prepare and lodge your BAS and carry professional indemnity insurance. You can verify our registration at the TPB register.
True Tally charges fixed monthly packages — no hourly billing. Pricing depends on your transaction volume, payroll size and the scope of services. Book a free discovery call for a tailored quote. Most Geelong small business clients find fixed-fee bookkeeping costs far less than the tax penalties and accountant cleanup costs from unmanaged books.
True Tally works primarily with Xero. If you're on MYOB, Reckon or spreadsheets, we can migrate you to Xero as part of onboarding. Xero connects directly to the ATO for BAS lodgement, integrates with bank feeds and receipt management tools, and generates reliable financial reports — it's the platform we recommend for Geelong small businesses.
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is one of the most common first engagements. We can reconcile months or years of transactions in Xero, correct miscoded entries, prepare any outstanding BAS statements, and get your file current. Once caught up, you move onto a regular monthly maintenance plan.
Yes — trades are one of our key specialties. We understand job costing, subcontractor TPAR obligations, quarterly super, tools and vehicle deductions, and the specific BAS reporting needs of sole trader and company-structure trades businesses across Geelong. Book a call to discuss your situation.
