Already have software, or need it?
Our Shoebox Bookkeepers & Accountants are trained in MYOB, Quickbooks Online and Xero. Talk to your local Shoebox Bookkeeper or Accountant about the best software for your business needs. At Shoebox Books and Tax, we understand that running a successful business requires attention to manage a myriad of moving parts, with financial management at its heart. One critical aspect of this financial management is bookkeeping. Efficient and accurate bookkeeping not only ensures your financial records are in order but also provides valuable insights that can drive your business's growth and success. Effective bookkeeping involves meticulously recording, tracking, and organising your business's financial transactions - from income to expenses, loans to investments. It forms the backbone of your financial health, providing a clear picture of where your money comes from and where it goes. However, bookkeeping can be time-consuming and complex, particularly as your business grows and transactions increase. That's where professional bookkeeping services come into play. At Shoebox Books and Tax, we offer professional, reliable, and tailored bookkeeping services. Our services are designed to free up your time, minimise errors, ensure compliance with financial regulations, and provide you with a clear and accurate understanding of your financial position. Whether you're a small business looking for basic bookkeeping assistance or a larger entity seeking comprehensive financial services, we have a package to suit your needs. Explore our range of services and find out how we can help streamline your bookkeeping and reporting processes, reduce your stress, and allow you to focus more on what you do best - running your business.

LOVE FROM OUR CLIENTS

100's of satisfied small business owners and tradies Australia wide

Lisa is a brilliant bookkeeper. She goes above and beyond for all her clients. She cares deeply about the success of her clients and will go out of her way to see you doing well. I have hired may bookkeepers before and Lisa stands out as the best!

Lucia Zelesco

My Shoebox Bookkeeper, Debbie Curnow, has been an angel. Debbie had to step into some pretty big shoes under very stressful times. We were also undergoing numerous accounting changes as well as migrating our accounts from MYOB to Xero. Debbie was calm, confident and knowledgeable and within a very short period of time had everything under control.

Wendy Stapleton

I started working with Lauren at Shoebox Bookkeeping in 2016. I can tell you that she has transformed my life. She is non-judgmental at the state of my accounts but more importantly she works tirelessly to keep everything in shape. Lauren is responsive, organised and a true professional...oh and just a really lovely human being.

J Hendry

We have been working with Andrea from Shoebox Books Ferntree Gully for the last 6 months. Andrea is highly knowledgeable and has helped our business grow through detailed advice and recommendations. She is very proactive and dedicated to ensuring all our accounting needs are taken care of. We could not recommend Shoebox Books Ferntree Gully more highly.

Working together with Olena has been transformational for our business. She has introduced us to systems, given expert advice and made sound recommendations. I would give Olena the highest endorsement for any business looking for a highly professional bookkeeper to add value to their business.

Damian Edwards

From the moment I met Michelle I knew I was dealing with a professional business owner and genuine person. Michelle offered solutions and options for my business needs. Her service was efficient and accurate. Both myself and my accountant were incredibly happy with the outcome. Thank you Michelle for your contribution to my business. I look forward to working with you again soon.

C Thomas

Since being on board with Shoebox Chantelle has looked after bookkeeping, wages and invoicing for my business. Not only has she helped my business grow over the last year, she has given me knowledge on how to be smarter with the money the business makes. She has been a key part to the growth of my company and I would recommend her to anybody looking for a personal bookkeeper. She is honest, reliable, trustworthy and capable of any task put her way. 10/10.

Todd, Gurus of Glass

"Michelle has managed the impossible - she has made my business and personal bookkeeping ORGANISED and logical! Before Michelle, my accounts were in disarray because I was too busy to get them sorted. What a blessing to be able to hand everything over to Michelle and have her sort things out. Now I can find any receipt or invoice easily and I know my quarterly reporting will be accurate and on time. Thanks Michelle."
