Mandurah Bookkeepers: End of Financial Year 2009 / 2010
Our team of Mandurah bookkeepers are normally flooded with calls from business owners in the last quarter of the financial year, as we approrach June 30.
There’s many reasons why you should get your bookkeeping upto date before the end of the financial year on 30 June 2010.
Often clients are devastated when they discover how much tax they have to pay because they didn’t plan for the FYE (financial year end). Leaving it until after 30 June is too late.
We are not tax agents or accounts, but our team of mobile Mandurah bookkeepers can certainly help you get your paperwork upto date so that you can at least have three quarters of the 2009/2010 financial year upto date and ready to visit your accountant before the end of June 2010

Mandurah bookeeping: BAS Due 2 March 2010
Business Activity Statements BAS are due on 2 march 2010 for businesses that report their GST obligations quarterly
With the Christmas holiday period over for many small businesses, it’s time to get all your paperwork together and get it to your bookkeeper or outsourced bookkeeping service- to report on the 2nd quarter (1 September to 31 December 2009) to get your BAS lodged on time.
Maybe the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) does have a heart, after all. Rather than asking for lodgements on 28 January, they automatically give everyone an extension to the BAS lodgements to 28 February. This is, of course, a Sunday. However, the next business day is not Monday, since it’s a public holiday in Western Australia. Thus the Q2 BAS is due on 2 March 2010
However, don’t be fooled by their grace, because there is NO WAY that they’ll consider granting an extension after that date. So you need to ensure that you have your Business Activity Statement lodged by 2 March 2010
If you are struggling with your bookkeeping and need help, if you do not have a bookkeeper, or are looking to outsource to a mobile bookkeeping service, then contact us now

How Did Office Manager Steal $400k from Employer?
The office manager of a Convenience Store in Scotsdale, Arizona, USA has been accused of stealing approximately $416,553 over the last two years
Did the bookkeeper notice a shortfall?
One wonders how the bookkeeper or the company accountants didn’t notice the shortfall. As a small business owner, it’s important to keep a regular check of the figures, as well as keep an eye on your bookkeeper.
A couple of years ago we were approached by the owner of a retail store, and soon discovered that one of her staff had been helping themselves to the daily takings.
How long this had been going on for was difficult to determine – considering the staff member was a “trusted friend”

Either way, it’s not a good idea to leave your bookkeeping until the last minute and risk a fine from the ATO for a late lodgement Call us today on 0415 453 536 for more information

ATO TAX Refund Scam Email
We received an email, apparently from the ATO, advising us that we had a Tax Refund due.
The amount was for AUD$210.75. Nothing strange about that, except for the spelling and the grammar.
They ask you to click a link that takes you to a website [ wv.us ] not anything to do with [ ato.gov.au ]
DON’T CLICK ON THE LINK – who knows what may happen – it could result in a little piece of software that invades your computer and extracts your usernames and pass words
It’s probably going to ask you for all your credit card details, so that the fraudsters in question can then go on a spending spree in London!
Not since Kevin Rudd organised for us to have a cheques sent out from the ATO have we had a tax refund.
And, thank you Mr Rudd, because the cheques arrived a couple of days after the ATO sent us a request for us to pay more tax – so much for the “Stimulus Package” – a waste of money, a publicity stunt – and a wonderful inheritance for the yournger generation of this fine nation.

Supplying MYOB Software in Mandurah
As MYOB professional partners, we’re authorised to supply MYOB accounting software. We can supply, install, and train our clients to do their bookkeeping using MYOB software.
A client contacted us yesterday asking us to supply them with MYOB Premier Enterprise for their franchise. It’s a “high-end” version of accounting plus – and comes with five single usr licences
This means that you can have five different users – in different locations, all access the one data file. It’s great for retail outlets – maybe a chain of shops linking back to head office.
The clients have a bookkeeper that’s going to come in and do their bookwork. What is surprising is the fact that the bookkeeper did not advise the client that they would need their own server – and possible an IT guy to come and help them get the system set-up.
Clients are looking for more than just a bookkeeper these days. Clients are looking for a bookkeeping service that will actually supply “customer service” – you know, the old fashioned type of service that was not just knowledge. It’s “service with a smile” service with “heart”.
If you want the “wham, bham, thank-you ma’am”, then there’s plenty of cowboy bookkeepers out there who’ll do the work for next to nothing, and more often give you no service, and heaps of headaches, a set of incorrect figures but at least you’ll have not paid much for your bookkeeping fees.
