HOW WE HELP YOU
At Big Little Numbers, we see bookkeeping as the foundation – not the finish line.
Our clients stay with us because we help them use their numbers: to make decisions, fix bottlenecks and grow profit safely.
That’s why our services are built in three layers:
Keep you compliant
Turn your data into clear reports
Use those reports to make better decisions, every month.
Bookkeeping & Payroll
We are big fans of Xero and specialise in remote bookkeeping to keep your business running smoothly
BOOKKEEPING - Have complete confidence that every transaction is up to date, coded accurately and consistently and ready for clear reporting when you need it.
PAYROLL - Sleep easy knowing your employees are set up correctly, paid the right amount and on time with all superannuation and Single Touch Payroll obligations handled.
NO END OF YEAR SHOCKS - We keep your file clean all year, so BAS, STP finalisation and handover to your tax agent are straightforward – not a mad scramble.
If you hate bookkeeping, you’ve outgrown doing it yourself or you’re ready to move from spreadsheets into software, we can take this off your plate so you can focus on running and growing the business.
Projections, Profitability Tracking, Budgeting & Cash Flow Management
Recession-proof your business by tracking what really matters.
We help you move beyond “looking at reports” to actually using your numbers to make decisions.
Together we:
Review your current numbers and identify where money is being made – and lost
Build realistic budgets and projections that match your business model
Map out cashflow so you can see pinch points before they hit
Turn those insights into a simple action plan for profit and growth
The goal isn’t a pretty spreadsheet – it’s clarity on what to fix, stop and what to double-down on so your business is safer and more profitable in all conditions

FAQs
Do you work with clients outside Melbourne?
Yes. We support clients in Melbourne and we also work Australia-wide with cloud bookkeeping.
Do you specialise in Xero?
Yes. Our bookkeeping workflows are built around Xero. If you’re already in Xero, we can clean up and streamline your file. If you’re not, we’ll help you move across and set it up properly.
What industries do you work with?
We work with a range of service-based businesses and trades. If your bookkeeping has become messy, overdue, or inconsistent, we’re a good fit.
What services do you provide?
Ongoing bookkeeping, payroll, BAS support (where applicable), and monthly reporting. We also handle catch-ups, clean-ups, and tidy transitions if you’re moving from spreadsheets or another bookkeeper.
Can you help if my BAS/bookkeeping is behind?
Yes. We can do rescue work: catch-up bookkeeping, cleanup, reconciliation, and a plan to keep you current going forward.
Do you do tax returns?
We focus on bookkeeping and business financial support. If you need tax returns, we can work alongside your accountant and make sure your accounts are clean and accurate for year-end.
How do you charge?
We offer fixed monthly packages for ongoing work where possible, and scoped one-off fees for catch-ups/clean-ups. Pricing depends on volume, payroll complexity, and how tidy the file is.
What do you need from me to get started?
A quick chat, access to your Xero file (or your current records), and clarity on what you want handled (bookkeeping only vs payroll vs reporting). We’ll outline the scope and next steps before anything starts.
How quickly can you start?
Depends on current workload and urgency. If you’re behind or at risk of deadlines, tell us upfront — we’ll prioritise the right next step, even if it’s just triage and a plan.
