What our customer say about us
Meredith has been on board with my small hairdressing business since 2014.
Meredith is proven to be a business-savvy bookkeeper who strives to deliver current solutions to my constantly changing needs.
Meredith takes care of all my needs including, Payroll, BAS, Bill payments and ensuring Tax compliance, with great attention to detail, leaving me to get on with business with confidence.
Meredith Newton has worked as a contracted bookkeeper for Reidy Investments Pty Ltd t/a Desert Palms Alice Springs since 2006. The Desert Palms is a busy 80 villa hotel with 20 staff.
Not only does Meredith take care of the bookkeeping for the hotel but also Reidy Racing Team and various other company investments. Meredith’s responsibilities include creditors, payroll, bank reconciliation and preparing quarterly BAS, in turn, working closely with the company accountant and hotel manager. Working remotely as the company director, it is imperative that there is attention to detail. This ensures that I can get a clear picture at all times of what is happening within the company.
The position also involves keeping up to date on all things relating to payroll, including Job Keeper, STP, staff awards, visa holders, superannuation and ATO news. Meredith does this, as well as advising me on new ways to save on the running costs of the hotel. Payroll is in important factor within the company that involves working closely with Fair Work Australia to keep both staff and stakeholders confident that everyone is treated with the utmost professionalism. Meredith has always demonstrated an extremely professional attitude and exceptionally strong work ethic.
I am more than happy to recommend her to any potential businesses looking for a bookkeeper.
The best support you can think of
Payroll is a business’s biggest expense. Running it takes time.
Let Ghost Gum Books and Balances focus on payroll so that stakeholders can focus on business.
More time back. No more hours spent doing repetitive tasks.
Accounts Payable
Automating processes like calculating the total amount of invoices to be paid and the status of invoices. This is a simple but crucial step in ensuring clean data and keeping clear, organized records.
One of the quickest ways to lose revenue is to let small errors go unnoticed or unchecked over time. A thorough and efficient check on all steps of the process for errors, saving money and time. Who doesn’t like more of both?
Being the vendor every business dreams of – one that delivers invoices on time, is the best way to forge long-term relationships with the best in each industry.
