Bookkeeper for Corio Geelong

Corio's Industrial Heritage Shapes a Settled Business Community

Corio's long connection to major manufacturing operations in the area has shaped a small business base built around trades, support services, and family-run retail. Many businesses here have been operating for years, serving a steady, settled local community.

BAS Lodgement Done Properly, Every Quarter

A late BAS lodgement carries a penalty of $330 per 28-day period overdue, up to $1,650. As a registered BAS agent, we lodge on your behalf and benefit from agent lodgement extensions, an extra four weeks per quarter.

Reviewing a Long-Running Setup

• Chart of accounts, checking whether categories set up years ago still reflect how the business operates today.
• GST coding consistency, particularly important if bookkeeping responsibilities have changed hands over the years.
• Bank rules, automating recurring transactions still entered manually out of habit.

TPAR for Local Trades

Trades businesses servicing Corio and the surrounding suburbs that pay subcontractors must lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report by 28 August each year. Tracking payments throughout the year makes this a simple lodgement rather than a scramble in August.

Why a Periodic Review Pays Off

Even a business that's been running well for years benefits from a periodic bookkeeping review, rates, rules and best practices change, and a system set up long ago doesn't update itself.
