Registered BAS Agent — Catch-Up BAS Lodgements, Bank Reconciliation & Ongoing Monthly Bookkeeping (Australian Sole Trader)

Job ID: 40384204

Budget: $250 – $750 AUD

I need an Australian registered BAS agent (or bookkeeper working under one) for a two-stage engagement: a catch-up job covering two overdue quarters, followed by ongoing monthly work.

You must be a registered BAS agent or employed by a registered BAS agent firm to legally lodge BAS returns.

STAGE 1 — CATCH-UP (one-off)

Bank reconciliation for two periods:
- Q2: October to December 2025
- Q3: January to March 2026

Accounts involved: business credit card and PayPal transactions (CSV/Excel exports available).

Lodge overdue BAS for both quarters. GST registration was backdated to 1 December 2025, so Q2 covers only December 2025.

STAGE 2 — ONGOING MONTHLY WORK (retainer)

Once the catch-up is complete, I need ongoing support including:
- Monthly bank reconciliation
- Quarterly BAS preparation and lodgement
- Basic P&L summary each month

ABOUT THE BUSINESS
- Structure: Sole trader, digital marketing agency
- Location: Melbourne, Victoria
- ABN active, GST registered from 1 December 2025
- Revenue: client retainers and project invoices
- Expenses: software subscriptions (credit card), general business costs (PayPal)
- No employees, no payroll, no inventory — straightforward setup

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

- Registered BAS agent or supervised by one (please confirm in your bid)
- Solid experience with Australian sole trader or small business bookkeeping
- Comfortable with transaction exports in CSV or Excel format
- Reliable communication and prompt turnaround
