BAS Agents
At the Smart Business Lounge all of our bookkeepers are certified BAS Agents. If you are searching for a bookkeeper, it is very important that this person is a registered BAS Agent as well.
This ensures they are fully trained and have the skills and knowledge to perform the business accounting practices on a day-to-day basis correctly.
Areas they are certified and specialised in:

In addition, when submitting lodgements to the ATO there are various timelines and deadlines to follow. Hiring a BAS agent will help keep you on track with the deadlines for your business so that you are never late and don’t risk penalties. A BAS agent will keep your records and documentation lodged correctly and on time so that you can focus back on your business.
