Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a BAS Agent, a Bookkeeper and an Accountant?  

A Bookkeeper is integral to the day-to-day financial management of a business. They ensure that financial records are accurate and up to date, from recording transactions to reconciling accounts. A bookkeeper focuses on the details, such as invoicing, payroll, expenses, and maintaining ledgers. Their role is essential for helping businesses stay organized and compliant, providing the foundational financial data needed for decision-making. Registered BAS Agents have the added responsibility of preparing and lodging Business Activity Statements (BAS), making sure businesses comply with GST and other taxation requirements. However, they don’t provide strategic financial advice or tax planning like an accountant would.


An Accountant, on the other hand, looks at the bigger picture. They analyse the financial health of a business, providing insights and advice on growth, tax planning, and overall financial strategy. They may assist with preparing annual financial statements, tax returns, and audits, ensuring the business adheres to tax laws while optimising its financial strategies. Accountants often work alongside Bookkeepers, using the data provided to guide long-term financial planning and compliance.


In essence, while a Bookkeeper ensures accurate records and compliance on a day-to-day level, an Accountant steps in to provide strategic oversight and advice on the business’s financial future.

Can't my Accountant do my bookkeeping for me?

While some Accountants may offer bookkeeping services within their firms, they typically charge a higher hourly rate for these tasks because their expertise is more focused on high level financial strategy and business planning.


Accountants generally prefer to focus on providing specialised services such as tax planning, financial forecasting, and advising on business structures and growth strategies. These services require a higher level of expertise and bring more value to a business in the long term. For day-to-day bookkeeping, it’s often more cost effective for a business to work with a dedicated BAS agent, who is trained to manage the routine financial tasks efficiently at a lower cost.


This separation allows business owners to access the specific expertise they need while also ensuring they’re getting the best value for both accounting and bookkeeping services. By using a Bookkeeper for the ongoing tasks and an Accountant for higher level advice, businesses can ensure they're getting the most out of both professionals.

Why should I use a BAS Agent over doing my own books?

Just like home renovations, bookkeeping requires a deep understanding of the tools and processes, and the risk of mistakes can be costly if you don’t have the right experience. Anyone can pick up a set of bookkeeping tools (software, spreadsheets, etc.), but without the expertise, you might end up making costly errors that take time and money to fix.


Bookkeeping is more than just entering numbers - it involves understanding complex financial systems, staying updated on regulations, and ensuring compliance with tax laws and ATO requirements. Mistakes in areas like payroll, GST, PAYG, or other taxation issues can lead to significant penalties or audits, just like a poorly executed renovation can end up being more expensive than doing it right from the start.


A skilled, experienced BAS Agent knows how to prevent these issues from arising. They also stay current with legislative changes, ensuring that your financial records are always compliant and optimised for tax efficiency. Just as a professional builder can help you avoid costly renovation mistakes, a qualified Bookkeeper (BAS Agent) ensures your business finances are managed correctly, saving you from potentially expensive errors down the line.

What qualifications does a BAS Agent need to have?

While anyone can technically perform bookkeeping tasks, there is a clear difference between being a Bookkeeper and a BAS Agent.


Prior to 2010, anyone could charge for providing BAS services, but since the law changed, BAS Agents must now meet specific qualifications and experience requirements to legally provide those services. This includes tasks such as preparing and lodging Business Activity Statements (BAS), handling GST, PAYG, and other tax related matters for clients.


To become a registered BAS Agent, a Bookkeeper must complete accredited courses, gain significant practical experience, and meet the ongoing professional development and registration requirements to ensure they stay current with changes in tax legislation and accounting practices. Being a BAS Agent also means the individual is bound by a professional Code of Conduct, ensuring a higher standard of practice and ethics in their work.


If you’re hiring a bookkeeper for BAS related tasks, it’s always wise to ask for their BAS Agent number. This guarantees they are registered with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) and are legally allowed to perform these services. It also ensures that they have the necessary qualifications, experience, and up to date knowledge to meet your business’s compliance requirements.
