What You Get
What Can Your Monthly Bookkeeping Retainer Include?
Every Hopkan Partners retainer is tailored to your business — here’s what we can include depending on your needs and transaction volume.
Transaction Recording & Reconciliation
Every transaction coded accurately in Xero and reconciled monthly against your bank statements. Clean, auditable books your accountant won't need to untangle at tax time.
BAS Preparation & Lodgement
Your Business Activity Statement prepared and lodged on time by a registered BAS agent, Quarterly or monthly.
Accounts Payable & Receivable
Supplier invoices paid on schedule. Customer invoices raised, tracked, and followed up. Your cash position monitored so you're not caught short.
Payroll Processing
Employee pays processed correctly with Single Touch Payroll reporting to the ATO. Super calculated at the current 12% Superannuation Guarantee rate (ATO) and paid on time.
Monthly Financial Reports
Profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow summary delivered by the 10th of each month. Not raw numbers — a clear picture of how your business performed.
Monthly Financial Review Call
A 30-minute call every month to walk through the reports and discuss what's ahead. The part most bookkeepers don't offer — and the part clients say they value most.
We Work in Xero — and We'll Set You Up If You're Not Already On It
Hopkan Partners is a Xero Certified Adviser. If you’re not already on Xero, we’ll assess your current setup during the free consultation and advise on the best path forward for your business.
Going Further

Monthly reports produced with P&L by segment, cost analysis, and variance commentary. Financial visibility that helps you make decisions, not just file returns.
Financial Analysis & Commentary
Each month's numbers explained in plain English - what changed, why it changed, and what it means for your business.
Cash Flow Monitoring
A forward view of your cash position based on current trends and upcoming commitments. Know what's coming before it becomes a problem.

Quick Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Sydney Bookkeeping Service
A bookkeeping service in Sydney covers transaction recording, bank reconciliation, BAS preparation, and financial reporting. Hopkan Partners includes all of this in every retainer, plus monthly management reports delivered by the 10th and a monthly review call — giving you advisory support alongside accurate, compliant books.
Outsourced bookkeeping means your financial record-keeping is managed by an external provider rather than handled in-house. You share access to your accounting software and Hopkan Partners runs the full monthly cycle, coding, reconciliation, BAS, and reporting, remotely. For businesses with staff and regular transactions, it’s more cost-effective than a part-time bookkeeper and produces more useful output.
Start by registering your ABN, opening a dedicated business bank account, and choosing cloud accounting software. Hopkan Partners recommends Xero for its GST and BAS compatibility and bank feed integration. We handle the Xero setup and configuration during onboarding. You don’t need to know how it works before you start.
No — but we recommend it. Hopkan Partners is a Xero Certified Adviser and Xero is our primary platform. If you’re on MYOB or a spreadsheet, we’ll assess your situation in the free consultation. Xero setup and data migration is included in onboarding at no extra cost.
Bookkeeping fees in Sydney vary based on transaction volume, payroll, and reporting complexity. Hopkan Partners charges a fixed monthly retainer agreed upfront – no hourly billing, no end-of-month invoice surprises. Visit our pricing page for typical fee ranges.
Every Hopkan Partners client receives a profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow summary monthly, delivered by the 10th of the following month. A 30-minute review call is included to walk through the numbers. Clients on quarterly BAS receive reports aligned to their lodgement cycle.
A bookkeeper records and reconciles day-to-day transactions: income, expenses, payroll, BAS. An accountant prepares year-end tax returns and provides strategic advice. Hopkan Partners covers both: CPA-qualified bookkeeping with management accounting analysis in every monthly retainer, plus optional tax return preparation as an add-on.
Yes. Under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009, preparing and lodging a BAS on behalf of a client requires registration with the Tax Practitioners Board. Hopkan Partners is a registered BAS agent — verifiable on the TPB public register. Your BAS is lodged correctly and legally.
Yes. Hopkan Partners provides a bookkeeping service across Sydney CBD, Parramatta, Chatswood, Castle Hill, Norwest, Blacktown, and surrounding areas. All services are delivered remotely via Xero and cloud tools. No in-person meetings required unless you prefer them.
