What we look after

Everything between the receipt and the ATO.

One fixed monthly fee covers the day-to-day bookkeeping, your quarterly BAS and a clean file for your accountant at year end. No hourly billing, no surprises.

Bookkeeping

Bank feeds reconciled and every transaction coded correctly in Xero, month in, month out.

Quarterly BAS

Prepared, reviewed and lodged by a Registered Tax Agent, on time, every quarter.

Receipt capture

Snap receipts and bills with the Dext app. They're read, matched and filed for you.

Payroll and STP

Pay runs for up to 3 employees, with Single Touch Payroll reported to the ATO.

Super and PAYG

Super contributions organised and PAYG withholding managed, so nothing slips.

Clear reporting

Know how the business is tracking, plus a clean, reconciled file for tax time.

How it works

Three steps. Only one of them is yours.

If you can take a photo on your phone, you can do this. Everything else happens in the background.

About

Big-firm experience, dedicated to tradies.

"I ran a 25-person practice for over 20 years. Now I do one thing: keep tradies' books right and their BAS on time."

Elleot built and ran his own accounting practice in Canberra for more than two decades before starting Easy Tradie Books. The focus is deliberately narrow: bookkeeping and BAS for tradies, on Xero, for a fixed monthly fee.

You deal directly with an experienced, registered professional. No call centres, no jargon, and no bill every time you pick up the phone.

FAQs

Common questions.

Can't find what you're after? Call [phone number] or send us a message.

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. If you can take a photo on your phone, you're set. We handle the setup and show you how the Dext app works.

Is the Xero subscription really included?

Yes. Xero and Dext are both included in your monthly fee, so there are no separate software bills.

Which package is right for me?

If you trade in your own name with no employees, choose Sole Trader. If you operate through a company, trust or partnership, or have staff, choose Small Business.

Do you prepare my tax return?

We keep your books and lodge your quarterly BAS. At the end of the financial year, you receive a clean, reconciled file for your accountant to complete your tax return.

I'm several quarters behind. Can you help?

Yes. We'll review your records and provide a fixed quote to catch up before your monthly plan begins.

Do I need to be in Canberra?

No. The service is fully online and available to tradies anywhere in Australia.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No lock-in. It's a monthly subscription. [Confirm notice period]
