Sue does your books.
Sue is Rebar's bookkeeper. She checks every receipt before it goes into your books, and answers the same working day.
Sue has more than 30 years in bookkeeping, most of it as a senior bookkeeper. She has worked in Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, for companies with more than 160 staff, and also ran her own business for 20 years, employing more than 30 people. Born and bred in the Whitsundays, she gave a lot back to the local community through that business.
Your bookkeeping is supplied by Rebar, and Sue does the work.
Questions tradies ask.
Do you lodge my BAS?
No. We get your books ready for BAS each quarter and hand them to your accountant or BAS agent, who lodges it. Their fee is separate, and you pay them directly.
Do I have to change my software?
No. You keep your QuickBooks or Xero. We work inside it.
What does it cost, and can I leave?
One monthly price, GST included, agreed in writing before you start. It's month to month: leave any time with 30 days' notice.
I'm months behind. Can you still help?
Yes. We catch you up first. That work gets a fixed quote, in writing, before we start.
Is my data safe?
Our bookkeeping app stores its data in Sydney, and nothing goes into your books until Sue has checked it. Receipts sent by text, and the AI that matches them, may be processed in the United States. You agree to how AI is used before we start. We never hold or move your money. Read our privacy page.
