Xero Bookkeeping and Accounting Services for Brisbane Businesses

Behind on your reconciling?
Spending valuable time chasing receipts?
Struggling to lodge returns on time?
No visibility over your business numbers?


When bookkeeping falls behind, everything else follows. Unpaid invoices hurt cash flow. Payroll errors affect your team. Creditors fall out of date and production stops. BAS lodgements get missed. And without accurate numbers, every business decision you make is based on guesswork.

At Empire Accountants, we are a Xero Platinum Partner, the highest tier of Xero's partner program, and we provide bookkeeping services to Brisbane small businesses through our dedicated sister company Empire Bookkeeping. Our bookkeeping and accounting teams work together under one roof, meaning your books and your accounting are always aligned.

We believe in quality bookkeeping so much we created our sister company Empire Bookkeeping.

Our bookkeeping team work seamlessly with our accountants to ensure your business can benefit from a holistic service.

Bank reconciliations

Every transaction in your bank account matched and recorded accurately in Xero, ensuring your books reflect reality and your BAS is based on clean data.

A complete schedule of what your business is owed and what it owes, so you always know your cash position and can manage supplier and debtor relationships effectively.

Payroll processing

End-to-end payroll management including pay runs, superannuation processing, and Single Touch Payroll reporting to the ATO. We ensure your obligations to staff and the ATO are met correctly every pay cycle.

BAS preparation support

Clean, reconciled books mean your BAS preparation is straightforward and accurate. Our bookkeeping and accounting teams work together to ensure what goes to the ATO is correct.

Monthly and quarterly financial reports

Summarised profit and loss and balance sheet reporting so you can see how the business is actually performing, month by month and year to date.

Phone and email support

Questions come up between meetings. Our bookkeeping team is available by phone and email throughout the month, not just at lodgement time.

Why Clean Books Matter for Your Business

Most business owners underestimate the downstream impact of poor bookkeeping until something goes wrong; an ATO audit, a loan application, or a tax bill that's much larger than expected. Clean, accurate books:

  • Give you real visibility over cash flow and profitability month to month
  • Ensure BAS and tax lodgements are accurate and on time
  • Reduce the time and cost of year-end accounting work
  • Provide the financial history banks and lenders need for finance applications
  • Make your business easier to value and sell if you ever choose to exit
