Frequently Asked Questions
How does bookkeeping support businesses in Lismore in recovering from disruption?
For businesses in Lismore, bookkeeping plays a critical role in recovery by providing structure, clarity and control over finances during periods of disruption. Accurate records help owners assess their current financial position, track changes in income and expenses, and plan for the future. A bookkeeper can also assist in preparing documentation needed for grant applications, insurance claims or government support programs — all of which are common following natural disasters or operational setbacks. Regular bookkeeping helps prevent financial confusion and allows owners to respond quickly to changing conditions. Using cloud-based systems ensures records remain accessible even if physical premises are affected. In periods of uncertainty, bookkeeping becomes a stabilising force, helping businesses stay organised and focused.
What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping and accounting are related but serve different purposes. Bookkeeping involves recording a business’s financial transactions on a regular basis — such as sales, purchases, receipts and payments. These entries are made into accounting software or spreadsheets to ensure the business has an accurate financial record. Accounting takes those records a step further by interpreting, classifying and summarising the data into financial reports. Accountants often handle tax preparation, financial forecasting, budgeting and strategic advice. In short, bookkeeping keeps the data accurate and up to date, while accounting uses that data to help with decision-making and compliance.
What records should a bookkeeper maintain for a small business?
A bookkeeper is responsible for maintaining a comprehensive set of financial records that reflect all transactions within a small business. This typically includes sales and purchase invoices, receipts, expense records, payroll data, superannuation contributions, bank statements, and reconciliation reports. Bookkeepers also track GST obligations, maintain fixed asset registers and ensure all documentation aligns with ATO requirements. These records must be stored securely — either digitally or physically — and retained for at least five years under Australian tax law. Well-maintained records are essential for preparing BAS, tax returns and supporting financial decisions.
