Bookkeeping for Consultants
As a consultant, your time is valuable. You need to focus on your clients, deliver great work and grow your business—not spend your evenings sorting through transactions and chasing invoices.

At Young Guns Bookkeeping, we provide practical bookkeeping services for consultants across Melbourne. Whether you're a management consultant, business consultant, IT consultant, HR consultant, marketing consultant or independent specialist, we can help keep your books organised and up to date.
Bookkeeping That Works for Consultants
Consulting businesses can have relatively simple structures, but that doesn't mean the bookkeeping can be ignored. Keeping your accounts current gives you a clearer understanding of your income, expenses, cash flow and overall business performance.
We can take care of the day-to-day bookkeeping, including:
Bank reconciliations
Accounts payable
Accounts receivable
Customer invoicing
Expense tracking
BAS preparation and lodgment support
GST reconciliation
Payroll bookkeeping
Xero bookkeeping
Contractor payments
Financial reporting
End-of-month bookkeeping
General bookkeeping support
Spend More Time Consulting
If you're spending time each week entering transactions, reconciling accounts or trying to work out which invoices are still outstanding, you're taking time away from your business.
Outsourcing your bookkeeping gives you back that time.
We'll keep your bookkeeping organised behind the scenes, allowing you to focus on client work, business development and the areas of your business where your expertise matters most.
Keep Track of Your Consulting Income
Consultants may charge clients by the hour, project, milestone or through ongoing retainers.
Whatever your billing model, keeping your invoices and payments properly recorded is important for maintaining healthy cash flow.
We can help keep your accounts receivable organised and make it easier to see which invoices have been paid and which are still outstanding.
Keep Business Expenses Organised
Consultants can have a range of business expenses, including software subscriptions, professional memberships, travel, equipment, office costs, contractors and marketing.
We help keep these transactions organised and accurately recorded in your accounting system.
Stay on Top of BAS and GST
Keeping your bookkeeping up to date throughout the quarter makes BAS time much easier.
We can maintain your records, reconcile your accounts and help ensure your bookkeeping is organised for BAS preparation and lodgment.
Xero Bookkeeping for Consultants
If you're using Xero to manage your consulting business, we can help keep everything running smoothly.
From bank reconciliations and invoices to expenses, bills and GST, we'll take care of the bookkeeping that keeps your Xero file current.
You don't need to become an accounting expert. You can focus on consulting while we look after the bookkeeping.

We provide bookkeeping support for a wide range of consulting businesses, including:
Business consultants
Management consultants
IT consultants
Marketing consultants
HR consultants
Financial consultants
Engineering consultants

Clearer Numbers for Better Business Decisions
Good bookkeeping isn't just about keeping the ATO happy. Your accounts can also give you useful information about how your consulting business is performing.
When your bookkeeping is current, you can more easily see your revenue, operating costs, outstanding invoices and cash position.
This gives you better information when deciding whether to take on new staff, increase your rates, invest in software or simply understand how profitable your business really is.

At Young Guns Bookkeeping, we don't believe bookkeeping needs to be complicated.
We'll get to know your consulting business and provide bookkeeping support based on what you actually need. Whether you need ongoing monthly bookkeeping or help getting your accounts back under control, we'll help keep everything organised.
