Spreadsheets & data
Code and reconcile bank transactions
Most transactions repeat each month. An agent can code and match them and leave the unclear ones.
Process payroll data for client pay runs
An agent can check timesheets against rosters and awards. The bookkeeper confirms before pay runs.
Prepare BAS or sales tax workpapers
Figures come straight from the ledger. The bookkeeper reviews coding before it goes to the tax agent.
Run month-end checks on payables and receivables
An agent can list overdue items and anomalies. A person investigates.
Documents
Enter supplier bills and expense receipts
Reading receipts and bills into the ledger is routine data entry.
Prepare simple monthly reports for clients
An agent can produce the report. The bookkeeper adds a note on what stands out.
Customer chat
Explain to a client why their cash is tight
Clients trust their bookkeeper's read on the numbers. That conversation should be human.
