Hi, I can help organize your books and prepare everything cleanly for BAS lodgement, including the catch-up work and ongoing monthly support. I’ve worked on similar setups for small service-based businesses, handling bank and PayPal reconciliations, structuring transactions, and preparing clear financial summaries so BAS agents can lodge without issues. For your case, I can reconcile both periods, organize GST correctly (including the partial Q2 period from December), clean up transaction categories, and prepare accurate reports. For ongoing work, I can maintain monthly reconciliation, structured records, and P&L summaries so everything stays ready for smooth quarterly lodgements. While I’m not a registered BAS agent, I regularly work alongside registered professionals and can prepare everything to a lodgement-ready standard for your BAS agent to submit quickly. Best regards, George
