Is this you?
Are you 3-12 months+ behind on bookkeeping
have missing receipts or financial records
have unreconciled bank transactions
need your books ready for your accoutnant
don't know where to start with the backlog
want clear, reliable financial records
want a defined scope and upfront quote
want someone to take the books off your plate
Want reports matching your actual situation
Every month you leave it, the catch-up costs more.
You're running the business on numbers nobody has checked, a BAS deadline keeps getting closer, and opening your accounting software feels like a job for another day.
We understand life happens. This is a simple, fixed-price way to get everything back under control, without being judged for how far behind it got.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
Your bookkeeping is 3 to 12+ months behind
A BAS deadline is close, or your accountant is chasing you for records
Your Xero file is a mess, or everything still lives in spreadsheets or MYOB
WHY I DO THIS
Strong businesses are built on solid foundations.
I grew up in a health background, and the first thing you learn is that you don't fix a body by chasing symptoms. You build it from the ground up, on solid foundations.
A business works the same way. Your bookkeeping is the foundation everything else sits on, so let's get it caught up and make your business financially stronger.
What's Included
One clear scope, one fixed price. Here is exactly what you get, and what sits outside it.
INCLUDED
A file and bank statement review, with a fixed price before commencement of services
Every bank and credit card account reconciled for the agreed period
Every transaction sorted into the right category, with anything unclear flagged for you or your accountant
Supplier bills and customer invoices entered
A queries list for anything that needs your input
Books tidy and up to date, so you, your accountant or BAS agent can review the GST and lodge your BAS
A 30-minute handover walkthrough of what was done, with your profit & loss, balance sheet and reconciliation status
An offer to move to ongoing monthly bookkeeping, so your books don't fall behind again
NOT INCLUDED
Lodging any BAS, IAS or tax return
Tax or GST advice
Payroll or STP corrections, which are quoted separately
Files larger than the scope agreed
Three Simple Steps to Get Back on Track
No surprises along the way. You know the price before you pay and the agreed timeline before we start.
Book a 20-30 Minute Assessment
Tell us about your business, your bookkeeping backlog and your biggest concerns. We'll discuss your current situation and what needs to be done.
Get Your Fixed Price in Writing
We'll review your requirements and provide a clear, fixed-scope quote before any work begins. If you're happy with the proposal, we move to step three.
Approve, Provide Access and Get Back on Track
Once you approve the quote and provide the necessary records and access, we'll begin your catch-up.
Fixed pricing, no surprises
The price depends on how many months you're behind. It's confirmed in writing before you pay, and it doesn't change once work starts.
You can pay your invoice in full or through instalments, depending on how many months your bookkeeping is behind. Payments can be made by bank transfer or card, with your start date secured once the agreed initial payment is received.
MONTHS BEHIND

Up to 3

Prices assume a small-business file: up to 150 transactions a month across up to three bank or credit card accounts. Bigger or messier files are quoted individually before you pay.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU
The 30-Day Catch-Up Guarantee
Once your agreed initial payment has cleared, we have access to your accounting file and you've supplied the records on the checklist, we'll have your books caught up and reconciled within 30 days.
THE FINE PRINT
“Caught up” means every bank and credit card transaction in the agreed period is coded and reconciled. Items that need your input go on a queries list instead of being guessed.
The clock pauses for any documents or answers you haven't sent within 3 business days of our request.
It covers delivery of the work, not tax or BAS outcomes. Lodgement stays with you, your accountant or BAS agent.
It's in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? Here are the ones people ask us most.
What does caught-up actually mean
Every bank and credit card transaction in the agreed period is coded and reconciled.
Do you lodge my BAS?
No. I'm a bookkeeper, not a BAS agent. I get your books caught up and reconciled so your accountant or BAS agent can prepare and lodge from there.
Which software do you work in?
Xero, or your current accounting software. If you're on spreadsheets or other software and want to move to Xero, we can scope that in your assessment.
What if my books are messier than I think?
You get a fixed price in writing before you pay. If your file is bigger or messier than the pricing assumes, it's quoted individually up front, so there's no surprise bill later
How do I stay caught up afterwards?
At handover I'll offer ongoing monthly bookkeeping, so the books don't fall behind again. It's your choice, and the catch-up stands on its own either way.
What if I am missing paper receipts or supplier invoices?
Don't panic! We have established workflows to work directly with your digital bank feeds, credit card statements, and software tools. Where receipts are missing, I'll match what I can to your bank records and list anything that needs a decision, so your accountant or BAS agent can sort out how it's treated.Where receipts are missing, we help classify transactions accurately under ATO guidelines.
Will I get penalised by the ATO for late BAS lodgements?
Possibly. The ATO can charge a penalty for each BAS that's late, and it grows the longer it's overdue. The ATO doesn't always apply it, especially for one-off slip-ups, and you can ask for it to be waived. Getting your books caught up is the first step. From there, your accountant or BAS agent can lodge and talk you through your options.The ATO can issue Failure to Lodge (FTL) penalties, but working with a Tax accountant or BAS agent gives you access to extended lodgement deadlines.
Is my financial data secure and private?
Yes. I work directly inside your Xero file, which uses industry-standard encryption, and I'm based right here in Melbourne. I never share your information without your permission, and you can remove my access at any time.
Your Bookkeeper
Hunter K Dawson
Growing up in a health-focused family, I learnt early on that building a strong, healthy body starts with getting the foundations right. Over the years, I've come to realise that running a successful business works in much the same way.
Throughout my career in finance, I've worked with financial reporting, reconciliations, budgeting and accounting systems. One thing I've consistently seen is how much time and energy business owners put into growing their businesses, while their financial foundations can sometimes get overlooked.
That's why I started HKD Bookkeeping to help business owners take control of their financial records, understand their numbers and build the foundations for a stronger, more organised business.
Practical financial experience: From day-to-day bookkeeping and reconciliations to financial reporting and budgets.
A focus on getting things right: Identifying bookkeeping issues, cleaning up records and helping establish reliable systems.
Personalised, judgment-free support: Whether you're a few months behind or dealing with a complicated backlog, I'll work with you to find a clear way forward.
