Background

Whether you wish to employ a bookkeeper, accountant or some other executive, accountants & bookkeepers are now required to operate in a more professional way. The increasing demands of compliance and the increasing responsibilities, some criminal, placed on management below director level, mean that accountants within an office, need to maintain a level of continuing professional education in order to keep pace and protect the business from the many liabilities that may confront it. Indeed bookkeepers have now been bought under the Tax agent lodgment system in order to lodge BAS independently, with all its requirements.

To achieve this increased professional requirement has necessitated a sharing of their experiences amongst their peers, and maintenance of some independence, in order to advise the business, unfettered by the internal influences that can beset an employee. This has made the role attractive to the professional who expanded their reach over the past decade to service the Small Medium Enterprise ‘SME’ on a consulting basis.
It is a trend that will only increase over time as both the executive and the client business want it and government is requiring it.

Most companies would like to hire an experienced accountant as their bookkeeper to guide them, but employment responsibilities & lack of independence have been an impediment. As a consequence, businesses have suffered from a lack of timely financial information and good advice.
