Everything owners ask before they join
How much does bookkeeping for electricians cost?
It is a single fixed monthly fee with no lock-in and no surprise bills, from $275/month paid yearly on the Tax + Books™ plan. The exact amount depends on whether you are a sole trader or a company and how much activity you have. Book a call and we will quote you up front, in writing.
Do you use Xero?
Yes. We set you up on Xero, keep it reconciled, and lodge your BAS and GST from it. If you are on another system we can move you across — the migration is free, and we chase your old accountant for the file so you don’t have to.
Do I still get my tax return done?
Yes. Your business and individual returns are prepared and lodged as part of the package, with every deduction claimed. There is no separate tax-time bill.
I am still on wages but going subbie soon. Can you help?
Yes. We can lodge your current return with all your deductions, then set you up with an ABN, GST registration and monthly bookkeeping when you make the jump — so your first year on your own is clean from the start.
Can you handle apprentice wages and super?
Yes. Payroll, super and single touch payroll are all part of the monthly package. We make sure apprentices are paid correctly and that your super obligations are met on time — including the quarterly deadlines that catch a lot of electrical businesses out.
I’m months (honestly, maybe years) behind. Can you really fix that?
Yes — it’s the thing we’re best at, and nobody here will judge you for it. Whatever state your books are in, our rescue team gets them clean and current within 30 days of onboarding, and up to 10 hours of that catch-up work is free when you join Tax + Books™. If your backlog is bigger than that, we’ll quote the rest upfront at $99/hr before we start — no surprises.
What exactly happens in the $197 Books Health Check?
A registered tax agent (not a salesperson) reviews your books, software file and most recent BAS, then produces a written Books Health Report: errors found, deductions missed, ATO risk flags, and the estimated dollar impact of each. We walk you through it on a 30-minute call. If you join, the $197 is credited in full against your first month. If you don’t, you keep the report — it’s yours either way.
What if I want to cancel?
There are no long-term lock-in contracts and no exit fees. Your only commitments are a 90-day minimum period and 60 days’ written notice — and the notice runs concurrently with the minimum, so if you give notice a week in, you’re still free at day 90. Whenever you go, your Xero file goes with you, clean and up to date, and anything you’ve paid beyond your end date is refunded pro-rata.
Do I get a dedicated accountant, or a call centre?
You’re paired with a dedicated registered tax agent and a dedicated Xero bookkeeper who know your business by name — backed by our national team of 50+ ex-corporate accountants for anything unusual. One team, one point of accountability. No blame game between your bookkeeper and your accountant, because they sit on the same team.
How does the “we pay the fine” promise actually work?
If a lodgement that’s in our control is filed late, we pay the ATO’s late-lodgement penalty. “In our control” means we hold the records and authority needed to lodge on time and have received your approval to lodge. The exact definition is spelled out plainly in your engagement letter. In practice it’s simple: give us what we need and approve on time, and a late lodgement becomes our financial problem, not yours.
