Business discovery and recommendations

  1. explore your business, your goals, and the current state of your bookkeeping on Xero
  2. build a customised Xero bookkeeping solution for you, suited to your business
  3. recommend apps and best-practices to implement, and let you know if there's any cleanup work to do. We agree to a start date for a smooth handover

  2. communicate intensively with you to confirm our understanding, and ensure we're delivering on your goals
  3. invest time getting to know how you like to work and communicate with us to quickly find our groove together

Management of your bookkeeping on Xero

  2. communicate proactively when things come up, so you have peace of mind
  3. send you regular updates and reports, and chase you up for the things we need to complete your bookkeeping to a high standard

Continuous improvement

  1. let you know if things change, and ask you for regular feedback
  2. adjust how we work with you over time, and suggest improvements to how we work together as Xero improves, or new apps are released
  3. add people to your bookkeeping team to maintain a consistent service as you grow

Common questions about Bookkeeping Services

Bookkeeping services in Australia typically run between $97 and $1,500 per week depending on transaction volume, complexity, and scope. A small business with straightforward bank reconciliation and quarterly BAS lodgement sits at the lower end. Businesses with high transaction volumes, job costing, payroll, and detailed management reporting pay more. At Digit, we fixed-fee all bookkeeping - you know the exact monthly cost before we start, and it stays the same regardless of how many questions you ask
A bookkeeper manages the day-to-day financial records of a business. Core responsibilities include reconciling bank accounts and credit cards, coding income and expenses to the correct accounts, entering and paying bills, invoicing customers, chasing outstanding payments, processing payroll, lodging Business Activity Statements (BAS), and preparing financial reports like the profit and loss statement and balance sheet. In Australia, a registered BAS agent can also lodge BAS and Instalment Activity Statements (IAS) on your behalf and access extended lodgement deadlines from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
We reconcile most client accounts twice a week, which keeps your Xero data current without unnecessary cost. Businesses with high transaction volume or daily reporting needs move to daily processing. We agree the frequency upfront as part of your fixed-fee scope, so you always know when your accounts will be up to date
We operate from Perth, Australia and Manila, Philippines. Our Australian team - senior management, chartered accountants, and registered BAS agents - handles compliance oversight, client relationships, and complex advisory work. Our Manila team - qualified Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), many of whom hold Australian BAS agent registration - runs the day-to-day bookkeeping processing in Xero. Both teams share systems and processes so your accounts stay consistent regardless of who's working on them
Specialising in Xero means our entire team builds deep expertise in one platform rather than spreading thin across several. Xero delivers native BAS lodgement, Single Touch Payroll (STP), bank feeds from all major Australian banks, and an ecosystem of over 1,000 integrated business apps - making it the strongest platform for Australian small businesses. As a Xero Platinum Partner (top 1% globally), we've built workflows and automation that make bookkeeping significantly more efficient - and we pass those efficiency gains on through lower fixed fees
