Built for Australian Startups
Starting a business is exciting, but managing GST, BAS, bookkeeping, payroll and cashflow can quickly become overwhelming. That's where Amplify Bookkeeping comes in. We help startup founders get set up correctly from day one, stay compliant as they grow and gain clarity over their finances.
With fixed-fee packages, personalised support and over 20 years of bookkeeping experience, we make it easy to understand your numbers and focus on what matters most—building your business. Whether you need Xero setup, ongoing bookkeeping or a trusted finance partner as your business grows, we're here to support every stage of your startup journey.
Startup Launch Pack
Get Your Xero Set Up Right
For: Founders setting up a new business and starting fresh in Xero
Starting a business in Australia comes with a long list of admin - and your accounting software shouldn't be one more thing you're guessing your way through. The Startup Launch Package gets your Xero file set up correctly from day one, so every BAS, every report and every decision you make is built on clean data.
What's included:
-
Full Xero account setup and configuration for your business structure (sole trader, company, partnership, or trust)
-
Chart of accounts tailored to your industry
-
Bank feeds, GST settings and ATO/BAS reporting configured correctly
-
Connection of payment platforms, invoicing and any existing apps (Stripe, PayPal, etc)
-
A short onboarding walkthrough so you understand your own file
-
ATO portal access guidance, so you're set up to deal with the ATO directly when needed
Why it matters: the cost of fixing a badly set up Xero file later is almost always higher than setting it up properly now. This package is the foundation everything else is built on.
Cost: $750 + GST

Sole Trader Essentials
Ongoing Monthly Bookkeeping Support
For: sole traders and solo founders who need their books kept tidy, compliant and BAS-ready every month - without hiring in-house.
Running a business solo means bookkeeping is usually the first thing pushed to "later". Sole Trader Essentials takes that off your plate with straightforward, ongoing monthly bookkeeping that keeps your Xero file accurate and your BAS lodgement-ready, every quarter, without the scramble.
What's included:
-
Monthly transaction coding and bank reconciliation in Xero
-
Quarterly BAS preparation and lodgement support
-
GST tracking and compliance checks
-
Monthly financial snapshot so you always know where you stand
-
Direct access to a registered BAS Agent for questions, year-rund
-
ATO compliance kept up to date as a sole trade
Why it matters: this package is built for the reality of running a business on your own - affordable, consistent, and designed to scale down rather than overwhelm a one person operation.
Cost: $399-499 + GST per month
Startup Growth
Bookkeeping for Businesses Scaling Up
For: startups past the early stage - growing revenue, growing complexity, possibly raising capital or hiring your first team members.
As your startup grows, so does the complexity of your bookkeeping: more transactions, more reporting needs, possibly investors asking for numbers, possibly your first hires. The Startup Growth package is build for founders who need more structured, proactive bookkeeping support - not just data entry, but a bookkeeper who understands startup cash flow and ATO compliance at this stage of growth.
What's included:
-
Weekly or fortnightly bookkeeping and reconciliation
-
Monthly management reports and cash flow visibility
-
BAS preparation and lodgement
-
Support with investor or lender reporting requests
-
Xero file health checks and process improvements as you scale
-
Proactive flagging of compliance deadlines, including upcoming changes like Payday Super
Why it matters: growing fast without clean financials is one of the most common (and avoidable) ways startups get into trouble with the ATO. This package keeps your books a step ahead of your growth, not a step behind it.
Cost: $795-$895 + GST per month

Scale Up Package
End-to-End Bookkeeping, BAS and Payroll
For: startups with employees, contractors, and complex compliance needs who want one trusted partner managing it end-to-end.
Once you're running payroll, managing contractors and lodging BAS regularly, bookkeeping stops being a back-office task and becomes core infrastructure. The Scale Up Package is full end-to-end financial operations support - bookkeeping, BAS preparation and payroll all handled by a registered BAS Agent who knows your business.
What's included:
-
Full bookkeeping and bank reconciliation (weekly)
-
Complete BAS preparation and lodgement
-
Payroll processing including STP (Single Touch Payroll) compliance
-
Superannuation guarantee processing including Payday Super compliance ahead of the 1 July 2026 deadline
-
PAYG withholding and reporting
-
Monthly management reporting and cash flow forecasting
-
A dedicated point of contact across all your bookkeeping, BAS and payroll needs
Why it matters: payroll and BAS compliance carry real penalties when they go wrong. This package means nothing falls through the cracks as your scale - and you get one accountable partner instead of juggling multiple providers.

Not Sure Which Package Fits?
Every startup's bookkeeping needs look different depending on structure, stage and whether you're handling payroll yet. If you're not sure where you sit, get in touch - a quick conversation is usually enough to tell which package makes sense for where you are right now (and most founders move between packages as they grow).
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a BAS Agent if I have an accountant?
Yes - a BAS Agent and an accountant serve different functions. A registered BAS Agent (like Amplify Bookkeeping) is legally authorised to prepare and lodge your BAS and handle GST and payroll compliance on your behalf. Your accountant typically handles tax returns and broader strategy. Many startups use both.
Can I switch packages as my startup grows?
Yes. Most founders start with the Startup Launch Package or Sole Trader Essentials and move into Startup Growth or Scale Up as their revenue, team and compliance needs increase.
Do you work with startups outside Australia?
Amplify Bookkeeping works exclusively with Australian-registered businesses, but operates fully remotely - so your location doesn't matter, only your business's compliance needs do.
What is Payday Super and does it affect me?
Payday Super requires employers to pay superannuation at the same time as wages, starting 1 July 2026. If you have employees, this affects your payroll process - the Scale Up Package includes getting this set up correctly ahead of the deadline.
