Xero Bookkeeping that make your life easier

(and freedom taste sweeter)

Hey, laid back business owner…

Do you crave clarity, confidence and coffee by the gallon?

*Raises hand and flicks hair*

Sure do. But spending all damn arvo in your Xero file is a drag. Sure, it’s not *totally* difficult, but if you do it incorrectly it can make your life terrible. Plus, you’re not 100% certain you’re doing it right. Gonna say it: this is holding you back, taking you away from achieving your business dreams and killin’ time you should be spending doing things you love (and are bloody good at).

Here’s the dealio:

Your business is growing.

And you’re working hard to build a design or construction empire that complements your ideal lifestyle.

But right now, you’re juggling all the biz things. HR, managing jobs, chatting to clients, quoting (that takes forever), tracking down tool thieves – and even all the bookkeeping. It’s taking you away from actioning your big business ideas AND actually *living.*

Right now?

You’re more overwhelmed than an Instagram model at Cronulla Beach when the light is “seriously, so good my hunnis.”  

Whether you’re a sparky starting your own business or have 10 construction sites across Australia – as a clever tradie and business owner in the construction or design industry you know outsourcing the stuff that doesn’t light you up is a good move.

After all, how much more valuable are you in your genuis zone?

(If we have to make an official, calculated guess – we’d say HEAPS!!) 

Imagine:
  • Never swapping the little tacker’s footy game for ‘the books.’  All while your Xero File’s in perfect condition
  • Using your energy to get excited about your business’s momentum. Instead of worrying about ATO, BAS and Super deadlines that you HATE
  • Bouncing around ideas with another mind dedicated to your success. Spoiler alert, this is us

 

It’s time to step back into your *genius zone* (or the surf, that’s up to you)

Xero Bookkeeping Packages Summer Priest on Phone

Hey, laid back legend – 

I’m Summer!

OH NINE Founder, Malteser bringer, apple martini sipper and Sydney Bookkeeper helping tradies get more freedom in biz *and* to live. 

I get it. Paying a bookkeeper ∻s the room. What if it creates more work? How will I know they’re doing their job? What if they plug in a device from the future, siphon out all my money and take it to the Bahamas for a cocktail-induced holiday?

Listen: Freedom for you is what we do. Or as Sarah says, “Sum saves us time and manages everything for us – above and beyond!” Will we actually do the work? Tom loves that “Summer constantly updates [him] on the progress.” Shucks. And that Bahama holiday? Well, let’s be honest, it DOES sound nice. 

But I’m not here just for your books.  help in whatever way I can. I’m a nurturer. So if you need ‘em, I tell you things like the suppliers I trust, business insights and where to find the best coffee in Cronulla. 

In other words, what’s minus is yoursus.

All your FAQs answered

I want to outsource my Xero Bookkeeping, but I’m too busy right now

Isn’t it always the way? Busy-ness gets in the way of business! Good news for you, all you need to do is meet with us for 30 minutes, upload your receipts to our cloud system and catch up at your package’s frequency. We take care of the rest. Book a quick virtual beer to see if we’re the right fit for you. 

I want to outsource my bookkeeping but I can’t afford you

We 100% get #startuplife. And investing in your business can feel daunting. We know it can be hard to give up a role you’ve been doing yourself (or you’ve shown your girlfriend how to do) and the initial financial burn can feel uncomfortable. But how much is being neck-deep in transactions instead of in your genius zone costing you?  It may not feel like it now, but outsourcing your bookkeeping will actually save you money long-term. If your Xero package hasn’t saved you time, added clarity in your business and streamlined your way of doing things – cancel that bad boy at the end of 3 months. Alternatively, book in a Xero Health Check of your accounts and we’ll see where your expenses can be streamlined. 

Summer, how many apple martinis have you actually drunk?

Please don’t ask me hard questions.

I like the look of it, but I’ll wait until my business is bigger

Just like long forgotten bus stops and rescheduled flights to the Bahamas – sometimes waiting isn’t the best choice.  Because if not now – when? When will you finally get around to understanding your numbers? Finally, taking payroll off the to-do list? Or finally swap lodging your BAS for catching them? *throws in a line*

And maybe your goal isn’t to grow your team, but to streamline your offerings. Or sharpen the edges on your profitability.  

Summer, will you really shout me a beer one day?

Visit me in Cronulla (maybe you’re already here!) and yes, that first beer’s on me.
