GAYLE GOLDBERG

Head Bookkeeper and Founder of
Gold Balance Bookkeeping

I started this because I’ve seen too many businesses making decisions off dodgy books, and I know how hard it is to find a bookkeeper who actually cares.

Small businesses are the backbone of Australia, and they deserve better. To me, it’s about getting it right, not just getting it done.

It’s about working together, sorting the mess, and putting the right systems in place so you aren’t just compliant — you’re in control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?

Bookkeepers handle your day-to-day finances; recording income and expenses, running payroll, lodging BAS, reconciling accounts, and making sure everything stays accurate and compliant. These days, some bookkeepers (like us) go beyond just keeping the numbers tidy and actually help you understand what they mean so you can make better strategic decisions.

Accountants deal with end-of-year tax returns, tax planning, and financial reporting. They look at the tip of the iceberg, while a good bookkeeper makes sure the foundation is right, getting the books ready for your accountant so your accountant can focus on the numbers that actually matter instead of untangling a mess. (If your accountant pointed you to us, now you know why!)

Do you offer quarterly bookkeeping?

Nope. Quarterly is too little, too late. We do monthly bookkeeping, updated weekly, because leaving mistakes sitting there for months just makes them harder (and more expensive) to fix. If you want accurate numbers and real financial control, monthly is the only way to go.

Can you work with us if we already have a bookkeeper?

Absolutely. Some of our clients already have an in-house bookkeeper but need monthly oversight to make sure BAS, IAS, payroll, and compliance are handled properly.
