Take this opportunity to clean up your books, and get prepared for a fresh start in 2022!
An Ashfords Bookkeeper can provide this service, and so much more: enabling you to work on
your business, not in it.
An Ashfords Platinum Bookkeeper is a valuable key resource for any business. As highly experienced bookkeepers with complex business
and office management experience, they provide vital support to business owners beyond simple data entry.
We take the stress away from business owners when it comes to payroll, data entry, GST, BAS, credit payments, debt collection and
critical end of month reconciliation, reporting and cash flow management.
No bookkeeping job is too big or too small for Ashfords to manage.
Our bookkeeping model
At Ashfords, we recognise that not all businesses are the same. A 'one size fits all' approach is unlikely to provide each
individual business with the right level of support for their needs. This is why we offer different levels of bookkeeping, so we can work
with you to choose the right services to deliver the best outcomes for your business.
When you commission Ashfords to provide your bookkeeping services, we undertake a consultation and assessment process to scope the right
level of services and allocate a bookkeeper to match your business providing as much or as little support as required.
We offer a range of packages from DIY solutions to more extensive packages, including monthly financial
reports and weekly reconciliation of business' bank accounts.
Going digital
Our bookkeepers can launch your business into the digital era, with cloud-based online systems that streamline basic processes and
enable remote access from anywhere.
The true advantage of cloud-based systems is the software integrations and accurate reporting they deliver. No more manual
spreadsheets or searching through various systems for the insights you need to grow your business.

The Victorian Government, as announced in the 2023-24 Budget, is progressively abolishing stamp duty on commercial and industrial
property and replacing it with an annual tax.
The annual tax, to be known as the Commercial and Industrial Property Tax (CIPT), will be set at 1% of the
property’s unimproved land value.
The tax will replace land transfer duty (stamp duty) that is currently payable on the improved value of the land when you purchase or
acquire a commercial or industrial property in Victoria.
The new tax system will start to apply to commercial and industrial property if the property is transacted on or after 1 July 2024.
Last week, Ashfords hosted the latest Building Business Value seminar. Maximising Business Value: Break Through the Barriers
brought together a diverse panel of experts, featuring specialists from talent, marketing and finance to help businesses identify and
overcome common barriers to enhance their business value.
A conversation at a community event kicked off productive philanthropic relationship between Ashfords and Down’s Community Farm. Twelve
months on, we reflect on some of the key outcomes, including a successful grant submission that secured $200,000 in funding.
