Small Business Bookkeeping Services in Melbourne

Fixed-fee, accurate and fully managed bookkeeping that keeps your business organised, compliant and ready for EOFY reporting early — thanks to clean, up-to-date records all year round.

Our Bookkeeping Approach

Proactive Bookkeeping Built Around Your Business

Bookkeeping isn’t just data entry — it’s the foundation of every smart business decision. At 42 Advisory, we keep your numbers accurate, up to date and clearly organised so you can understand your position and act with confidence.

We handle your weekly, monthly and quarterly bookkeeping, payroll and BAS/IAS obligations while keeping everything clean, coded correctly and fully compliant. With a dedicated manager and an expert Melbourne-based team, you get clear communication, fast turnaround times and zero surprises.

Because your records stay accurate all year, your EOFY financials and tax return can be completed early and without the usual rush, giving you clarity and peace of mind long before most businesses even start their documentation.

Our goal is simple: make bookkeeping reliable, transparent and stress-free — so you have the financial clarity you need to grow.
