This is a real scenario that occurred in late 2016 just before Christmas. The Tweed heads business here is a small business with 5 employees using a software program called Quickbooks Online and is a reputable company that had been established for some time. The Owner of the business had his Girlfriend who was his Tweed Heads bookkeeper at the time taking care of the books on a week to week basis but unfortunately the relationship had fallen through and the girlfriend no longer wished to take care of the Quickbooks file. This left the owner in a tricky situation because he knew how to do business in the earthworks industry but didn't know much about the paperwork, bookkeeping and reporting side of the business. He knew there was not to much time until Christmas and finding a bookkeeper in such a short timeframe would be difficult to do. The owner rang Darcy Bookkeeping & Business Services to see if they could take on the books to keep the business running.
The owner was able to speak to a senior bookkeeper straight away and discussed what his requirements were. Darcy Bookkeeping who is a Registered BAS Agent and also a Quickbooks bookkeeping Partner were able to have a bookkeeper on site to begin work within 48 hours. The owner was grateful to have such a fast turnaround and was surprised at the affordability of having a Tweed Heads outsourced bookkeeper take care of his books. The Tweed Heads bookkeeping service Darcy Bookkeeping went to work and got a handle on the Quickbooks file very quickly as one of the most important matters that required attending to was the holiday pay for the employees before Christmas. The owner of the business felt at ease with the bookkeeper as he could tell based on their ability to navigate Quickbooks and their knowledge of payroll and best bookkeeping practices that he was dealing with a Pro.
This business went on to deal with Darcy Bookkeeping for years to come as it leaned on the expertise of their services to keep the business compliant and the books up to date month in and month out. The business also went on to kick off a sister company in a similar industry to what this current business was operating in and used Darcy Bookkeeping to setup the Quickbooks file and manage the books for that business also.
