Lower Costs
Have you considered that contracting an external Perth bookkeeper could be cheaper than having another full-time employee? With a full-time employee, you need to consider the extra costs on top of the salary. There’s holiday and sick pay, superannuation and extra Workers Comp Insurance costs. At WestBAS, you will only be charged for the work we do, and it often surprises our clients how much they can save by choosing to outsource to a professional service, rather than an having another employee.
Outside Perspective
With years of experience, and a hugely diverse range of clients in a variety of industries, we’ve seen what processes and procedures work to make a business successful. We’ve also seen the ways in which businesses fail. External bookkeepers are not emotionally connected to the everyday running of a business, and we can offer insights, as well as recognising flaws in some processes. Being based in Perth, we also understand the factors that affect local businesses, not just in the City but also in rural WA.
Professionalism is our top value
You can rest-assured all our employees are fully qualified, with their knowledge and skills continually updated through compulsory professional development. Being in business as long as we have, we have developed processes to ensure our staff are fully-trained, compliant and ready to hit the ground running.

WHY SO MANY NOT-FOR-PROFITS (NFPs) CHOOSE SALARY PACKAGING TO PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES
As an NFP organisation, getting funding to cover your everyday expenses while servicing your clients, can sometimes seem like an uphill battle where every penny counts. And employee wages, as well as enticing high quality personnel, can throw another spanner in the budgeting mix. So why wouldn’t you take advantage of salary packaging options to pay your employees? Offering salary packaging gives you more options when enticing staff who might command a high salary in the private sector. With salary packaging, your NFP organisation is on a more level playing field; when the organisation offers competitive salary packages, the employee can save money on their tax, which results in the same (or higher) net value on their wages. It’s a win-win situation.

It’s a word that still strikes fear into the hearts and minds of employers, despite it now being well-entrenched in Australian society since its inception in 1992! After all this time, superannuation should be simple, but it still seems that many employers are not quite on top of all the rules surrounding it – that’s why your professional bookkeeper is the person to go to when you have any questions. In this blog, we attempt to give you, the employer, the most straight-forward information so you can understand the basics, but of course, if in doubt, always consult a professional. PLEASE NOTE: This blog is directed at EMPLOYERS only. Employees wanting to further understand the intricacies of superannuation should seek independent advice from a financial advisor or wealth management expert. Now, it’s likely that many people reading this blog will have some knowledge around superannuation rules and laws, but we will start with the very basics, just as a guide for those who may be new to business.

With technology moving forward so quickly, it’s my experience that many businesses are now paying a significant amount in expenses to monthly subscriptions and digital products. Many of these digital software providers are based overseas and therefore do not supply you with a ‘tax invoice’ including an ABN. However, overseas subscription providers have a complex relationship with the ATO. Since 2017, international corporations, such as Google, Adobe and Netflix, as well as smaller software and digital product suppliers, have been required to collect and pay 10% (GST) to the Australian Tax Office for their sales to ‘end consumers’ in Australia.
