What our clients say
Frequently asked questions
ProKeep supports startups and professional services firms across Melbourne, including tech and creative businesses in Richmond and Cremorne. From management reports to payroll and BAS, we deliver accurate books for a predictable monthly fee.
When should a startup hire a bookkeeper?
Ideally from the start. Setting up Xero correctly early avoids costly clean-ups later and makes investor due diligence, grant applications and tax time much easier. Our packages start from $150 per month, so it’s affordable from day one.
Can you prepare reports for investors and board meetings?
Yes. We prepare monthly management reports including profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, burn rate and runway, formatted for founders, boards and investors.
Do you help with R&D Tax Incentive record keeping?
We keep your expenses, payroll and contractor costs categorised so your accountant or R&D adviser has the records needed to prepare an R&D Tax Incentive claim. We don’t lodge the claim ourselves, but we make it far easier.
How do you track profitability for agencies and consultants?
We set up tracking by client or project and connect time-tracking and invoicing tools, so you can see revenue, costs and margin for each client, retainer or project.
Can you manage Stripe and subscription revenue?
Yes. We reconcile Stripe payouts, fees and refunds and track recurring revenue, so your monthly figures reflect what your subscription business is really earning.
Do you handle payroll for growing teams?
Yes. We onboard new employees, process pay runs through Single Touch Payroll, manage super including Payday Super requirements, and keep contractor payments separate and compliant.
