FAQs

What does a Bookkeeping Assistant do?
 A Bookkeeping Assistant supports the recording, processing and maintaining of financial transactions across accounts. Tasks typically include managing invoices, bills, bank reconciliations, financial reports, payroll and BAS preparation - freeing you to focus on clients and strategy. 
What services can your Bookkeeping Assistant (BKA) provide our business?

 A VBP Bookkeeping Assistant can assist with accounts payable and receivable, reconciliation, ledger maintenance, invoice and bill management, payroll processing, document prep and activity statements. They ensure your books are up-to-date and ready for reporting and compliance. 

What’s the difference between a Bookkeeping Assistant and an Australian-trained Accountant?

 Bookkeeping Assistants handle day-to-day transaction processing, data entry and record-keeping, while accountants provide strategic financial advice, tax planning, compliance oversight and financial analysis. Our BKA role complements - rather than replaces - your local accountant.

Do Bookkeeping Assistants handle budgeting or forecasting?

 No. Our Bookkeeping Assistants maintain accurate financial records but do not provide budgeting, forecasting, or financial planning. These are typically handled by senior accountants or business managers. 

What certifications do VBP Bookkeeping Assistants hold?

 All Bookkeeping Assistants complete Xero Advisor and Payroll Certification as part of their onboarding. They also undergo in-house training in financial planning principles and bookkeeping fundamentals. 

What does the training and onboarding process involve?

 Bookkeeping Assistants complete a 3-week program that includes Xero system navigation, core bookkeeping tasks, privacy and information security training and practical case studies to prepare them for real-world advisory firm support.

How do you ensure quality and accuracy in bookkeeping work?

 We focus on high attention to detail, internal oversight and structured task workflows. Bookkeepers are trained to be proactive, responsive and collaborative, with a focus on getting it right the first time.

Can I start small and scale up over time?

 Yes. Our roadmap encourages starting with low-risk, template-based tasks before expanding to more complex or client-specific workloads over time. This ensures smoother onboarding and higher-quality outcomes. 

Is this service suitable for smaller advice businesses?

 Definitely. Our model is cost-effective and scalable ideal for small firms looking to reduce admin load, lower overheads and stay compliant without taking on full-time internal staff. 

Do VBP Bookkeeping Assistants understand financial planning businesses?

 Yes. Our training program includes an overview of financial planning operations, client documentation and adviser workflows. This ensures your assistant understands the context they’re working in, not just the numbers. 

Can your Bookkeeping Assistants help during tax season?

 Yes. They can support document prep, reconciliation, payroll finalisation and activity statements: ensuring clean, accurate records to streamline your year-end process or accountant handover. 

How do you protect sensitive financial data?

 VBP is ISO 27001 certified and compliant with Australian privacy laws. All work is conducted in secure systems with access controls, giving you full peace of mind around client data and financial records.
