As a purpose-led business owner, you’re used to multitasking.

But the struggle is real when it comes to finance.

You simply don’t have the time, expertise or interest in bookkeeping.

But accurate financial records are the (boring-sounding) backbone that support sustainable business growth. And your purpose-led business deserves to flourish not flounder in a confusing sea of profit and loss, GST and BAS.

From transaction recording to bank reconciliations to preparing and submitting BAS, our Xero-certified bookkeepers are here to make your business and life easier.

We offer transparent prices and customisable packages so you always know what your paying and receiving. We believe this is good business.

ABOUT US

It’s not just bookkeeping, for us…

It’s how we do it and why we do it that matters.

At Straight Up Bookkeeping, we believe all creative business owners should be doing their best work backed by accurate and stress-free financial records. Having an accounting background means we can go above and beyond what a lot of bookkeepers in Australia offer.

And, like you, we care about balancing people, the planet, and prosperity; not just our profit.

Our Xero bookkeeping firm in Australia:

  • Helps entrepreneurs achieve their own dreams

  • Sustains those who work in it

  • Gives back to our communities

That’s what makes us excited to leap out of bed at 5am (well, female-founder Bec does anyway!)

If you have those same values, we’ll work together better than oat milk and coffee.
