Questions people ask

What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

Bookkeeping is the ongoing process of recording and categorising financial transactions: sales, purchases, payments, and receipts. Accounting uses that data to prepare financial statements, tax returns, and business advice. Good bookkeeping is the foundation good accounting is built on. At Empire Accountants, our bookkeeping and accounting teams work together so the two are always aligned.

How much does bookkeeping cost for a small business in Brisbane?

Bookkeeping costs vary depending on the volume of transactions, complexity of your payroll, and whether you need monthly or quarterly reporting. Empire Accountants and Empire Bookkeeping offer fixed monthly fee packages so costs are predictable. The best starting point is a free consultation where we can assess your needs and give you a clear fee.

Do I need a bookkeeper if I use Xero?

Xero makes bookkeeping more efficient but doesn't replace a bookkeeper, it still requires someone to correctly categorise transactions, reconcile accounts, manage payroll, and ensure the data is accurate. Many business owners start in Xero themselves and bring in a bookkeeper as the business grows or when they want their time back.

What is a Xero Platinum Partner?

Xero Platinum Partner is the highest tier of Xero's partner program, awarded to accounting firms with extensive verified experience using Xero across a large client base. Empire Accountants holds Platinum Partner status, meaning our team has deep expertise in Xero setup, migration, training, and ongoing management across a wide range of business types.

Can you help if my Xero books are a mess?

Yes, this is one of the most common situations we help with. Whether your books haven't been reconciled in months or your Xero setup was never configured correctly in the first place, our team can assess the situation, clean up the file, and put a system in place that works going forward.
