Bookkeeper vs. BAS Agent: Why the Difference Could Save Your Business

Many Australian small business owners believe bookkeeping is just "data entry" that anyone can do. However, using a standard bookkeeper—or a DIY approach—could cost you more than you think in missed GST codes and payroll errors.

What is a BAS Agent?

Unlike a standard bookkeeper, a registered BAS Agent is legally authorized to advise you on complex liabilities like GST, Single Touch Payroll (STP), and Superannuation.
