CORE VALUES

  • Open and honest communication
  • Reliable and honest
  • Accurate
  • Adhere to a Code of Conduct

BAS AGENT

As of March 1st 2010 the ATO regulated the bookkeeping industry. Now, all bookkeepers providing a BAS Service are required to register as a BAS Agent.

 

REQUIREMENTS OF A BAS AGENT:

  • Certificate IV in Financial Services – Bookkeeping or Accounting
  • Member of a recognised Professional Association
  • Over 1000 hours relevant experience
  • Professional Indemnity insurance
  • Ongoing Professional Development
  • Code of Conduct

Team Standards

Our bookkeepers are required to fulfill four standards – education, experience, testing & training:

  • Minimum of Cert IV in Finance-Bookkeeping
  • Minimum 5 years experience
  • Statement of attainment in BAS agent registrations

I am a Registered BAS Agent so that gives you confidence in our work. At Your Bookkeeping Angel, we believe that great bookkeeping is not just data entry but about getting it right, within all the aspects of bookkeeping … it’s about empowering you around your finances!

What Does That Mean For You?

In the past, a bookkeeper was able to complete a MYOB or Quicken course and start charging for their services. Unfortunately, due to their lack of experience, they often left a mess. The client could do nothing about it except find someone else who, hopefully, would be able to clean up the mess. It is a costly exercise both financially and emotionally.

BAS Agents have a professional Code of Conduct in relation to:

  • Honesty and integrity
  • Independence (acting lawfully)
  • Confidentiality
  • Competence

Breaching the Code of Conduct can result in termination of the registration and Civil Penalties involving fines up to $137,500. At last there is something that can be done if you are left in a mess.

Having already engaged Sonya from Your Bookkeeping Angel with our move to Xero and as a direct result of the seamless transition, complete backup support and level of service that we also took full advantage of the Gold Package bookkeeping serviced offered.

If you are looking for a local, dedicated bookkeeper who has their clients best interest at the top of their priority list, is always available and willing to assist them I can not recommend Sonya and Your Bookkeeping Angel more highly – you will not be disappointed. In fact, ring me direct should you require further information.

Sonya Jacobsen has been working with my company now for at least 8 years. In this time she has converted my business from chaos to unity and structure. Its so difficult to deal with international transactions when you’re a wholesaler doing imports, but Sonya was able to master this in just a few months. She has converted out entire bookkeeping structure to the latest MYOB and all on line. The thing I have noticed the most is actually getting my time back that I would usually spend trying to do accounts. I can now use this valuable time where my skills are best used talking to my customers getting sales. Sonya has literally changed my business and given me back my time to sell. She truly is “my bookkeeping angel”
