Your books, handled
Your go-to Melbourne bookkeeping team
We manage the financial back office for small and growing Melbourne businesses from data entry and payroll to BAS and cashflow. You are matched with a dedicated, certified bookkeeper who keeps your accounts accurate, your lodgements on time, and gives you a clear picture of where your business stands every single month.
The difference
Life before RPS, and life after
Most owners come to us buried in receipts, behind on BAS, and never quite sure where their cash is going. Here is what changes the day we take the books off your hands.
Before RPS
Doing it all yourself
Bookkeeping squeezed in after hours
- Messy, behind-on books and shoeboxes of receipts
- BAS deadlines that sneak up and ATO penalties
- No real idea of cashflow or what you owe
- Accounting software you never had time to learn
- Hours of admin stolen from running the business
After RPS
A bookkeeper in your corner
Certified, local, and always on top of it
- Clean, reconciled books kept up to date every week
- BAS, IAS and super lodged on time, every time
- Clear monthly reporting you actually understand
- Xero or MYOB set up and run by certified pros
- Your time back to focus on growing the business

Everything your books need, under one roof
Pick the pieces you need today and add more as you grow. Whether it is a weekly reconciliation or a full back-office handover, our certified bookkeepers cover it all.
Bank reconciliation & data entry
We match every transaction against your accounts and keep your data entry current, so your books are always accurate and ready to report from.

Why RPS
What makes our bookkeeping different
We focus not just on the big tasks, but on the small details that quietly add up. Trust your books to a team that leaves no stone unturned.
No hidden fees
A simple, fixed monthly fee with no long-term lock-in contracts. You always know what you are paying — that simple.
Certified & registered
CAANZ-led, Xero and MYOB certified, and registered BAS agents with the Tax Practitioners Board. Your books are in qualified hands.

We understand how important it is to stay compliant. We lodge your BAS on time, every time — no ifs, no buts, no late penalties.
Tailored to your business
No two businesses are the same. Your bookkeeper and workflow are built around how you actually operate, not a one-size template.

Local Melbourne team
Real people you can call, based right here in Melbourne and prepared entirely in-house — never offshored.
FAQ
Bookkeeping questions, answered
A few of the things Melbourne owners ask before handing over their books. Have a different question? Call us and we will answer it on the spot.
It depends on the volume and how much you want us to handle, but we always work to a fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no hourly surprises. After your free consultation we will recommend a plan and tell you exactly what it costs before any work begins.
A bookkeeper keeps the day-to-day records accurate — reconciliations, payroll, invoices and BAS. An accountant uses those records for tax, strategy and advice. Because RPS is both, your bookkeeping and your accounting talk to each other under one roof, which means cleaner books and smarter tax outcomes.
Absolutely — it is one of the most common reasons people come to us. We will do a catch-up and clean-up to get your accounts current and accurate, then keep them that way going forward. No judgement, just a clear path back to tidy books.
Yes. We are certified across the major cloud platforms and work in whichever one suits your business. Already set up? We will work in your existing file. Not yet? We will set you up, migrate your data and train your team.
For most owners, yes. You get back the hours spent on admin, avoid costly mistakes and late penalties, and gain accurate numbers to make decisions from — usually for less than the cost of hiring in-house. We will be honest at your consultation about whether it is the right move for you.
