Xero Setup, BAS Lodgement & Training | Shoalhaven & Illawarra

The right bookkeeping help, exactly when you need it.

Not every business needs ongoing bookkeeping. Sometimes you just need help with one job, like setting up Xero, lodging a BAS, or getting your books back on track. We also offer one-on-one Xero and MYOB training, so you can manage your own books with confidence. We work with businesses in the Shoalhaven, Illawarra, Southern Highlands, and beyond.

One-off bookkeeping help and training with no lock-in contracts.

East Coast Bookkeeping & Business Solutions offers one-off bookkeeping services and software training for small businesses. Whether you’re setting up Xero, moving from MYOB, or cleaning up your accounts, we step in, fix the issue, and show you how to stay on track.

There’s no lock-in contract and no package you don’t need. You only pay for the help you use. Ongoing services, such as BAS lodgement, are billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time.

Our team are registered BAS agents (26044669) and certified Xero and MYOB advisors. Training is available in person at our South Nowra office or online.

Cloud accounting software setup

Your accounting software is only useful if it’s set up properly. We help you choose the right platform for your business, such as Xero or MYOB, then set it up correctly from the start.

That includes your chart of accounts, GST settings, bank feeds, and invoicing. A clean setup helps prevent messy reports, GST mistakes, and problems later on.

Moving from one system to another? We manage the switch with minimal disruption.

New business setup starts from $175 + GST. Software transition and migration starts from $350 + GST.

Xero and MYOB training

If you want to manage your own books, we’ll help you do it well. Training is one-on-one and tailored to your level, your business, and your software.

We train business owners, admin staff, and finance teams. You might be starting from scratch, learning bank reconciliation or invoicing, or wanting more useful reports from the system you already use.

Training starts from $150 + GST per hour.

BAS preparation and lodgement

Many business owners are happy to manage their day-to-day bookkeeping, but they want a registered BAS agent to review and lodge their BAS. We check your records, prepare your Business Activity Statement, and lodge it ahead of the ATO’s BAS due dates.

This suits sole traders and small businesses who want a second set of eyes without paying for full monthly bookkeeping. If you’d rather we handle everything, see our bookkeeping and ATO compliance services.

Quarterly BAS preparation and lodgement starts from $120 + GST per month [billed monthly]. Ongoing support and advice can be added from $50 + GST per month.

ATO registrations

Need to register for GST, PAYG withholding, or both? We handle ATO registrations quickly, so you can get on with running your business.

GST registration is $50 + GST. PAYG withholding registration is $50 + GST, or $75 + GST for both.

Bookkeeping health checks

If your books have fallen behind, become messy, or just don’t feel reliable, a bookkeeping health check will show you where things stand. We review your records, find the problems, and help get everything back on track.

It’s useful before tax time, before handing records to your accountant, after a stretch of DIY bookkeeping, or when you’re preparing to grow.

Who this service is for

One-off support suits new business owners, sole traders, businesses moving to Xero or MYOB, and owners who lodge their own BAS but want a professional review. It’s also a good fit for anyone who wants to get more out of their accounting software. If you have staff, see our payroll and HR services.

We support business owners in Berry, Kiama, Nowra, Shellharbour, Ulladulla, Wollongong, the Southern Highlands, and Australia-wide from our office in South Nowra.
