How important is it to use a local Australian company for my bookkeeping?
Proper bookkeeping goes well beyond providing a simple data capturing service.
There are many complex regulations in Australia which require regular ongoing professional development by staff to ensure accurate implementation. Ensuring that off-shore services are up to date with all requirements is difficult, especially if you are not familiar with the governing regulations.
By contrast, our team at Functional Business Solutions belong to multiple industry groups that are constantly providing training and information on any changes as they happen. We also have the necessary insurance to ensure your business is protected.
