Why use AJ Accounting Services?

Assisting small businesses has been my goal for around 14 years. Before commencing AJ Accounting Services in 1999, I held roles as Office Manager and worked for some time in a Chartered Accountants Office.

Since being in business for the last 10 years, I’ve been involved in some very interesting projects in different industries and areas that has given me great knowledge and experience in what it takes to run a small business. Any area of your business I’ve done once, twice or a hundred times in some cases. If there is something I don’t know, I usually know how to find out or who to ask.

My speed on a keyboard for data entry into MYOB is highly efficient and very accurate. It is important to remember when choosing someone to assist with your MYOB issues and bookkeeping that often a low hourly rate equates to a long time to do the work. We aim to please and that means keeping the time spent with you to a minimum because it's more important to build a relationship than to make a quick buck.

Why is it important to be is Certified by MYOB?

If you look hard enough you’ll find a lot of people who claim to be “Experts” in MYOB and while there are many individuals out there who have used MYOB, there are only a handful of us who have devoted our careers to working with MYOB software who are really capable of the help you deserve.

Bookkeeping and consulting is as yet an unregulated industry and no formal qualifications are needed to work in our industry. That's why it is important that you choose a consultant who is certified by MYOB. It is important not to shop on costs but on what the overall cost/ benefit to your business is.

If still in doubt about your decision for specialist MYOB help, give me a call, I'm happy to speak personally to you about your own situation.

What else can a Certified Consultant do for you?

If you're pretty sure you need help, but can't quite put your finger on what you need, here are some common areas where help is requested.

• If you employ a bookkeeper to carry out your day to day entries and you can’t be sure it’s being done right, you can have your MYOB data reviewed periodically and have any errors fixed.
  
  
• If you feel confident doing your own data entry, journals, payroll, super, BAS etc but just need someone to make sure you’re on the right track and fix any errors.
  
  
• If you don’t know how to use the software, you’ve just purchased it and have no idea where to begin.
  
  
• If you’ve used the software but would like to make sure the initial setup is correct, so all linked accounts are accurate and all settings are correct.
  
  
• If you’d like some tweaking, troubleshooting, error fixing, converting from say quickbooks to MYOB or from a manual system to an electronic one!
  
  
• If you’re not sure that you’re getting the best out of the software and you feel you need some new systems to save time, or to maintain a better paper trail or there are new features you'd like to start using.
  
  
• If you don’t own MYOB software but would still like your bookkeeping done efficiently to either track your profitability or to give completed accounts to your accountant to save on fees.
  
  
• If there is ever a chance of fraud by your staff, or if you’ve discovered any misappropriation of funds and you need specialist MYOB help to survey the damage, or implement systems to stop it happening again.
  

Or just because it would give you reassurance that you’re on the right track!!
