Bookkeepers usually perform daily updates of a business’s financial records (the books). But with the advent of new software they have been able to perform other tasks, such as Profit First Accounting (see our Profit First pages in this website). Accountants analyse, summarise and report on the data that bookkeepers gather. These reports give a snapshot of the performance of a business, and determine if any tax is owed. Getting qualified as an accountant requires much education (Bachelors Degree minimum) and training in tax (Tax Agent Licence) and other laws with which businesses need to comply, plus finance and business management. While some bookkeepers may have developed similar skills, that level of training isn’t required to be called a bookkeeper.

There are various things to consider when answering that question. Business financial transactions takes time to record. While you are focused on growing your business and getting it to generate money, a bookkeeper will be vital. A bookkeeper can smooth out tax issues like BAS and (with your Accountant) can find expenses that can be claimed as deductions. Paying bills at the correct time to ensure cashflow is not compromised is also important, as is keeping current (the ATO hate late lodgers).
