More than just lodging your BAS.
Most BAS issues don't occur during lodgement. They develop throughout the quarter through incorrect coding, unreconciled accounts and bookkeeping errors. Before preparing your BAS, SGH reviews your bookkeeping so the figures being lodged can be relied upon.
An accurate BAS starts with accurate bookkeeping.
A bank account showing as reconciled does not automatically mean the bookkeeping is accurate.
Before preparing your BAS, we review the underlying records for common issues that may affect GST, payroll and the figures being reported to the ATO.
We do not simply:
A professional quarterly BAS review and lodgement service.
Each quarter, we review the areas of your Xero file that directly support an accurate BAS before preparing the figures for your approval.
Reconciliation Review
Review of bank reconciliation status and outstanding items that may affect the reporting period.
GST Coding Review
Review of GST treatment, unusual transactions and coding issues relevant to the BAS period.
Payroll Review
Where applicable, we review payroll reporting and amounts relevant to PAYG withholding.
BAS Preparation
Preparation of the quarterly BAS based on the reviewed records in Xero.
Approval Summary
A clear BAS summary is provided for your review and approval before lodgement.
Lodgement & Payment Advice
Electronic lodgement with the ATO and confirmation of the amount due and payment deadline.
We flag problems before they are lodged.
If we identify bookkeeping issues that prevent us from preparing an accurate BAS, we will explain what needs to be corrected.
You can correct the issues internally, or we can provide a separate quote to complete the required catch-up or clean-up work.
Issues may include:
Simple quarterly BAS support without unnecessary calls.
Sign up once, provide the required access, and we will manage the quarterly BAS process from there.

We can also help if your bookkeeping needs more attention.

Quarterly BAS support, clearly explained.
Do you check the bookkeeping before lodging the BAS?
Yes. We review the areas of your Xero file relevant to BAS accuracy, including reconciliation status, GST coding and unusual transactions. We do not simply accept the figures in Xero without review.
What happens if my bookkeeping is not ready?
We will explain what needs to be corrected. You may complete those corrections internally, or we can provide a separate quote for the required catch-up or clean-up work.
Is bookkeeping included in the quarterly fee?
No. The quarterly fee covers BAS review, preparation and lodgement. Bookkeeping corrections, reconciliations, catch-up work and historical clean-up projects are quoted separately.
Do I need to book a discovery call?
No. You can start the quarterly service online. Once payment is completed, we will contact you with the required access and onboarding steps.
Is this a recurring service?
Yes. The service renews every three months so we can manage your quarterly BAS requirements on an ongoing basis.
