Ah, the end of Financial Year (otherwise known as EOFY by retailers trying to be original each and every year) can seem daunting and a little bit scary for businesses. There are accounts to reconcile, payroll and super to check and pay and of course the June BAS ever present in our bookkeeping part of our lives. But it DOESN’T have to be that difficult….
Joining us today is Michele Grisdale, a BAS Agent and Bookkeeper from Rainforest Bookkeeping; whose philosophy is “We Give You Time Back to Enjoy Life”. The is a real ambassador for the profession; believing in the importance of compliance and accuracy but balancing it with making the software we implement in our businesses actually doing the heavy lifting.

Rainforest Bookkeeping was founded because we found so many small businesses and sole traders had no time to themselves. When cloud technology came along, we had time to offer more services and better advice because we had real time data. No longer were we spending 3-4 hours a day on data entry for each client - YAY!
We can show you how to eliminate data entry and paper in your business. We can show you how to get your time back and stop discussing business all the time. We can show you how to automate many processes and eliminate double handling of every
piece of paper. We can show you how to have everything ready for your accountant all of the time and eliminate the end of quarter/year stress.
