Creative? Freelancer? Sole Trader?
Creative
Blue Emerald is not your average bookkeeping company. With our director and her partner involved in the field themselves, we have a complete understanding of how difficult it can be to work out the “business aspects” of your endeavours.
We know that you are different to traditional businesses. You want to be concentrating on the creative and not have to worry about what expenses you can claim, how to lodge your BAS/IAS and the mysteries of exactly what you need to give your accountant so they can get you the best tax return.
The tax laws are not always clear for this unique industry. Blue Emerald has the experience to give you the right information and advice.
Freelancers & Sole Traders
Being just one person who has to be jack-of-all-trades means that often those tasks in a business that are not so interesting or are very time-consuming are pushed to the side. Many freelancers & sole traders don’t realise it is actually costing them more to try and do their accounts themselves.
Read why not outsourcing your accounts may not be the best idea for your business.
Our Packages specifically for you…
By letting Blue Emerald “take care of the business”, you can be sure that your BAS/IAS are all lodged correctly and on time and that you have everything ready for your accountant at tax time. No need to hand them a “shoebox” full of receipts and papers.
We like to have a close working relationship with our client’s accountants so that our client’s needs are always best met. We see the bookkeeper/accountant/client partnership as working on the same team to achieve what the client wants.
Using Xero as our accounting solution means that there is no hassle in getting your data to your accountant. They can access, edit and update your information online and in real time when you are ready. Your accountant can get to the information and complete your returns much more quickly.
Our Quartz Package is specifically designed with your type of business in mind. You can read more about what’s included in this package here.
We also have some DIY Xero Packages available where we do all the setup of Xero and you can do the day to day entering – with or without Blue Emerald reviewing your data at the end of each year. If you are interested in this type of package, then have a look here.
And if you’re behind with your accounts, we’re the experts in getting you up to date. Have a look at our “Rescue Packages“.
Helping you understand
You might already get reports and returns from your accountant. But do you understand them and how they can help you in business? Or do you just throw them in the corner with the rest of your papers?
At Blue Emerald we are great at not just providing you with reports, but explaining and educating you in plain English what they actually mean and how they can be useful to grow your business no matter how small it is.
We also help you understand the tax laws and other regulations that are specific to your industry and your business.
