Accounting for Creatives

Whether it’s staying compliant and getting your stuff ready for the tax man, starting a business, setting up a Xero, integrating third-party apps, day to day bookkeeping, payroll and more, Counting Clouds can help!

Services

At Counting Clouds we like to provide service that is relevant to your business’ requirements. This means we can grow together. Below is an overview of the different types of service we provide. Nothing is ‘out-of-the-box’ because every single one of our clients is unique.

BASIC BOOKKEEPING

Bookkeeping is data processing.

We sort out your financial data into a neat easy to read format, verified by reconciling bank activity with source documents like receipts, bills and invoices.

To do this we use Xero and other awesome business technology products.

THE ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT

The accounts department is a more sophisticated service than basic bookkeeping. The accounts department can assist with several finance tasks in your business.

• Accounts receivable (invoicing and debtor management)
• Accounts payable (bills and creditor management)
• Payroll and superannuation
• Custom reporting
• Project tracking
• Tour accounting
• Commission reporting

COMPLIANCE

We keep you right with the tax man and other obligations on a regular basis!

• GST / Goods & Services Tax
• PAYGW / Pay As You Go Withholding
• BAS / Business Activity Statement
• IAS / Installment Activity Statement
• TPAR / Taxable Payments Activity Report
• Payroll Tax
• Workcover Annual Reconciliation

SPECIAL SERVICES

Third party apps integration

We are not biz tech experts but we spend our working hours in the cloud. We can assist by recommending, testing and researching third party apps that may be appropriate for your business and integrate with Xero.

Cash flow forecasting

With good data we can build a cash flow forecast. This can help you set goals and plan for the future.

EMDG data collection and lodgements

The Export Market Development Grant is a government grant that assists small businesses, including creatives and musicians, to build their brands overseas by subsidising up to half their travel and marketing costs for overseas projects and tours.

We can help get all the necessary data together and we can lodge your grant application.

CONSULTING

If you aren’t sure you need an ongoing bookkeeping service, but have a bunch of questions and you don’t know who to ask, you can book an appointment to meet with a Cloud Counter either virtually or in person (conditions apply).
