Heather Smith owner of ANISE Consulting, has been a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, for many years, and spearheaded the Associations campaign in gaining this important recognition.

Bookkeeping, and completing BAS is a complicated area – you need to ensure your bookkeeper hold the proper qualifications, and knowledge to undertake you bookwork.

Ross Vile of Pitcher Partners says that if a client comes to him with an MYOB datafile, properly prepared for a full year, processing the accounts will cost around $1000. A poorly prepared set of books, could however cost up to $5000.

Don’t save a penny and forfeit a pound. Employ a competant bookkeeper who is a member of a recognised professional association.
