Do you prepare and lodge tax returns or BAS?
No — NorthShore Accounting focuses on bookkeeping, financial reporting, payroll, budgeting and advisory. For tax return and BAS lodgement, we're happy to work alongside your existing registered tax agent, or recommend one if you don't have one.
Which areas do you work with?
Small businesses across Hornsby and the Upper North Shore. Most work is done remotely over phone, email and video, with in-person meetings available locally when it helps.
Do you work with Xero or MYOB?
Both. If you're not using either yet, we'll help you choose and set one up properly from the start.
What size business do you work with?
Sole traders through to small teams — anywhere from just starting out to a business that's outgrown a spreadsheet but doesn't need a full-time finance hire.
