Bookkeeping Services for Businesses Outgrowing Their Bookkeeper
You're doing $500K-$5M. Your numbers arrive on time, but they don't tell you if you can afford that $85K hire, what's killing your margin, or why cash feels tight when profit looks fine.
When Your Bookkeeping Services Stop Working
Most bookkeeping services for Australian businesses stop at the numbers. You've outgrown that model. Not because your bookkeeper is bad at what they do, but because what you need has shifted from record-keeping to decision support. At $800K, your books are clean and your BAS gets lodged on time. But you're making decisions in the dark.
You're about to hire your third employee. Can you afford them? A client asks for net-60 terms and you don't know what it does to your cash position. Your P&L shows revenue by service line, but you can't tell which one is profitable. Your bookkeeper sends you numbers. You need someone who tells you what they mean.
This is the stage where spreadsheets multiply faster than answers. Beyond what a bookkeeper can handle, but not at CFO scale yet. You're running operations while rebuilding the engine, and the instruments you relied on at $300K don't work at $2M. The discomfort you're feeling isn't a you problem. It's a stage problem.
Where traditional bookkeeping falls short
These aren't complaints. They're symptoms that your business has changed shape.
Your bookkeeper isn't the problem. You've outgrown what bookkeeping alone can provide.
You're guessing at cash flow beyond next month
The bank balance is clear. What you need is whether you can cover payroll in 90 days when that big invoice finally gets paid and three suppliers want payment upfront.
You can't tell which work is profitable
Revenue looks healthy. Margin feels thin. You can't tell if that big client is funding the business or bleeding it dry because job costs never get matched against what you bill.
Hiring decisions feel like gut calls, not data calls
You want to bring on another person. Current payroll costs are clear. What happens to your runway when you add $85K in salary plus on-costs? That question goes unanswered.
Tax time is a scramble, not a strategy
Numbers reach your accountant on time. No one's telling you in July that you should be putting cash aside now, or that this quarter's spending could change your tax position in six months.
You're managing multiple providers who don't talk to each other
Files go to your accountant. Payroll lives somewhere else. BAS prep is its own conversation. You're the integration layer, and it's costing you hours every month keeping everyone aligned.
Your complete finance team without the headcount
You don't need to hire three people.
You need one relationship with a team that's already built. Bookkeeping, controller-level insight, and CFO thinking - without the recruitment, the salaries, or the months it takes to find people who understand growth-stage businesses.
What you'd need to hire
A bookkeeper at $65K. A financial controller at $120K. A CFO at $180K. That's $365K before super and recruitment costs. Most $2M businesses can't carry that load - and shouldn't have to.
What you get with Parkview
A senior accountant who knows your P&L inside out. A controller who turns numbers into forecasts. A CFO-level advisor who's seen your stage dozens of times. All for less than one mid-level hire.
One relationship. Everything handled.
One person who knows your full picture
Your controller knows your revenue model, your cash cycle, and what keeps you up at night. No more explaining context to three different people who only see part of the story.
Monthly bookkeeping with the strategic layer
Books closed and reconciled each month, plus someone who spots the pattern in your numbers and tells you what it means.
BAS and payroll without the coordination tax
Lodgement happens on time. Payroll runs correctly. You're not chasing three providers to make sure they're all working from the same numbers.
Questions answered in hours, not days
Text your controller when you need to know if you can afford that hire or what a price change does to margin. Same-day answers because they know your business.
Tax planning that happens all year
Your accountant isn't a stranger who surfaces in June. They're in the monthly rhythm, spotting opportunities and problems while there's still time to act.
Forward-looking numbers, not history
Cash flow forecasts show what's coming in the next 90 days. Scenario modeling happens before you commit to the lease or the hire.
Questions you're probably asking
Fixed monthly fee based on your revenue and complexity. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. The fee includes your controller, monthly books, BAS, payroll, tax planning, and unlimited questions.
