A bookkeeper manages daily financial transactions, reconciliations, payroll and BAS preparation. An accountant provides tax advice, prepares financial statements, lodges tax returns and offers strategic business guidance. Many businesses use both: a bookkeeper for ongoing record-keeping and an accountant for compliance and planning. Lawson integrates bookkeeping with management accounting and CFO services for a complete solution.
Bookkeeping costs vary based on transaction volume, complexity and service scope. Hourly rates typically range from $50 to $100, while monthly packages for small businesses start around $300 and increase with business size. Lawson tailors pricing to each client’s needs, ensuring efficient delivery and value. We discuss costs transparently during initial consultations.
Yes. A registered BAS agent can prepare and lodge Business Activity Statements on your behalf. Lawson’s bookkeeper services include BAS preparation, review and lodgement coordination. We ensure your BAS obligations are met accurately and on time, reducing compliance risk and freeing you to focus on operations.
Outsourcing bookkeeping makes sense when internal resources are stretched, accuracy suffers or the business owner spends too much time on financial administration. Professional bookkeeper services deliver better accuracy, compliance and reporting efficiency. Lawson provides flexible support, from complete outsourcing to supplementing existing teams, tailored to your business stage and requirements.
Most businesses update bookkeeping weekly or monthly, depending on transaction volume and reporting needs. Regular processing keeps financial information current, supports cash flow management and ensures compliance deadlines are met. Lawson works with each client to establish a processing schedule that balances timeliness, cost and business priorities.
