Bookkeeping vs Accounting — What’s the Difference and Who Do You Actually Need?

Not sure whether you need a bookkeeper, an accountant, or both? Here’s a quick breakdown.

Bookkeepers:

  • Handle day-to-day financial admin

  • Keep Xero tidy and updated

  • Reconcile bank feeds, file GST, manage invoicing

Accountants:

  • Provide tax advice

  • File annual returns

  • Help with business structure and planning

You probably need both. A bookkeeper keeps your books accurate all year round — which means your accountant can do their job properly (and usually charge less).

We work with your accountant, not against them. It’s a team effort.
