The Bookkeeping Health Check Your Business Needs

A bookkeeping diagnostic review is a structured, one-time assessment of your financial records to identify hidden errors, compliance gaps, and inefficiencies. We evaluate your accounts and deliver an actionable "health report" with a roadmap for fixing issues.

The Diagnostic Review costs $199. This fee is non-refundable. If you decide to continue with a clean-up project or monthly bookkeeping, the $199 will be applied to your first invoice.

We remove your bookkeeping burden

Think of a Bookkeeping Health Check as a financial triage. Right now, you’re likely carrying a heavy mental burden: staring at numbers that don’t quite add up, stressing over whether your tax filings are accurate, and wondering if your cash flow is actually as good as your dashboard says it is. It’s an exhausting cycle of second-guessing.

This diagnostic review completely removes that burden by shifting the weight from your shoulders to an expert eye. Here is how it changes everything for you:

It Eliminates the "What If" Anxiety: Instead of laying awake wondering if a hidden coding error is going to trigger a costly tax audit, you get an explicit, objective breakdown of exactly what is right, what is wrong, and what needs fixing.
It Stops the Infinite To-Do List: Bookkeeping messes have a way of lingering on your to-do list for months because you don’t know where to start. We draw a line in the sand. This review isolates the problems so you aren’t staring at a mountain of data - just a few specific molehills.
It Gives You a Risk-Free Roadmap: You don’t have to commit to expensive, open-ended hourly cleanup fees just to find out what’s wrong. For a single, transparent flat fee, you get total clarity and a step-by-step action plan.

Essentially, we turn a vague, overwhelming cloud of financial stress into a clear, structured checklist. You get to stop playing detective in your own software and go back to doing what you actually love: running your business.

All Services we provide

Beyond the initial diagnostic review, we offer a seamless pathway to complete financial clarity by fixing the past, optimising the present, and managing the future.

First, our Historical Clean-Up and Catch-Up service rolls up our sleeves to fix past errors and reconcile missed months, bringing your books to a pristine, tax-ready state. Next, we offer Software Setup and Automation to streamline your accounting tech, linking your apps and setting up smart rules so your financial systems run like clockwork.

Finally, we can transition you into Ongoing Monthly Bookkeeping, where we take over the day-to-day numbers entirely - giving you permanent relief from the back-office burden so you can focus 100% on scaling your business.

1. The Historical Catch-Up & Clean-Up (One-Time Project)

We take the messy historical data from the past few months (or years) and bring it to a pristine, tax-ready state. This includes reconciling old bank statements, fixing misclassified expenses, cleaning up the chart of accounts, and correcting messy sales tax entries.

2. Software Optimisation & "Tech Stack" Integration (One-Time Project)

We optimise your accounting software settings, set up bank rules to automate recurring entries, and cleanly integrate their external apps. We also include a 1-hour training session to show you how to use the streamlined system properly.

3. Ongoing Monthly Bookkeeping & Advisory

Once the books are clean and optimised, we take over the daily or weekly maintenance. This includes ongoing bank reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable management, monthly financial statement delivery, and a regular check-in call to review their numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are solutions focused. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us using our form below or email hello@hornsbybiz.com.au.

There is a difference between a "discovery call" (which is a free, surface-level chat about their business) and a "diagnostic review" (which is paid expert analysis). We are digging deep into your general ledger, bank reconciliations, and tax compliance to find hidden errors, messy data, or missed deductions. You aren't paying for a sales pitch; you are paying for a comprehensive health report of their business financials.

You woll receive a customised Roadmap or Report that includes:

A breakdown of what is working and what is broken in your current books.
A clear action plan of exactly what needs to be fixed (and how urgent it is).
A fixed-price proposal for us to do the clean-up and ongoing bookkeeping (if you choose to hire us).
