If your March BAS is ready – Lodge!
If you cannot pay in full – arrange a payment plan with the ATO.
Even if you can’t pay the BAS, it is important to lodge on time – late lodgement could result in fines. And those fines escalate for habitual offenders.
Payment plans can be created using an automated phone service – you don’t have to explain yourself to a human.
Lodge now!
What time is it?
It’s 5 minutes to midnight!
If your agent lodges on your behalf – the March quarter BAS is due 26th May – will you be ready?
If you still need to send missing source documents or respond to questions – act now!

If you are a small business owner, you’re probably fully aware that DIY bookkeeping causes stress!
Who can you speak to about your business? Your bookkeeper knows all about your business and probably a fair bit about you too! Ask questions, discuss your vision and work together to find better ways to do things. BAS agents work with other businesses with similar issues, they’ve seen the good, the bad & the ugly. Take the time for a chat before small business stress overwhelms you.

More hours in the day?

We prefer plain english – you shouldn’t need a translation dictionary to know what is happening in your business.
If the only thing you want to say in morse code is … — … (SOS)
maybe its time to get in contact?
Phone or email work best for us!
How are your resolutions going? Did you decided this is the year you’ll get organised?
