Simplify Your Systems with Accounting Software That Works for You
Setting up the right accounting software is one of the most important steps for keeping your business organised and compliant. But software alone doesn’t solve problems — knowing how to use it properly is what makes the difference. Equal Books offers complete Accounting Software Set-Up & Training services to help you choose the right platform, configure it for your business, and use it confidently day-to-day.
Whether you’re transitioning from spreadsheets, switching software, or starting fresh, we’ll help you get it right the first time. We work with popular accounting platforms including Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks, tailoring each setup to your unique workflows, industry, and team.
Why Proper Software Set-Up Matters
A rushed or incorrect software setup can lead to months (or years) of reporting errors, reconciliation headaches, and missed obligations. We take a strategic approach to implementation, making sure your software reflects your actual business processes. Here’s what our set-up process includes:
- Creating your business file and setting up your chart of accounts
- Configuring tax settings (GST, PAYG, super)
- Adding payroll, bank feeds, users, and access levels
- Linking to Dext for receipt management (if required)
- Testing and verifying data accuracy
Why Professional BAS Support Matters
Customised Support
We tailor every service to your operations, systems, and budget. Whether you’re a tradie, consultant, or running an online store, our team ensures your bookkeeping suits your workflow and industry requirements.
Cloud-Based Efficiency
We use secure, cloud-based accounting tools like Xero, QuickBooks, and Dext. You can access your finances anytime, anywhere. Say goodbye to paper receipts and hello to real-time visibility and automatic backups.
Registered BAS Agent on Your Side
Having a registered BAS agent means your BAS lodgements are managed correctly and submitted on time. No more last-minute rushes or compliance stress.

What’s the Best Software for Your Business?
Choosing the right accounting software for small business depends on your structure, industry, and how hands-on you want to be. We help you weigh up the options:
- Xero: Simple, intuitive, and great for collaborative work with your bookkeeper. Xero offers powerful features including payroll, reporting, and real-time dashboards.
- MYOB: Reliable and feature-rich, MYOB suits businesses with more complex requirements, inventory needs, or longer history using desktop systems.
- QuickBooks: Known for smart automation and affordability, QuickBooks bookkeeping and QuickBooks payroll offer strong cloud-based solutions ideal for growing businesses.
Training Tailored to You
Once your software is set up, we make sure you (or your team) know how to use it. Our training is designed to suit any experience level — from beginners who want to learn the basics to business owners seeking to master their own reporting.
Our training may include:
- Recording and allocating income and expenses
- Reconciling bank accounts
- Creating invoices and quotes
- Managing payroll and super
- Generating reports and BAS data

Training is available one-on-one or in small groups and can be delivered in person (if local) or online via Zoom or Teams. We offer practical, jargon-free explanations that help you use your software with confidence and clarity.
Support Beyond the Training Session
We don’t just disappear after training. We remain available for follow-up questions and troubleshooting as you continue using your system. If you’re in Long Jetty, Umina Beach or Bateau Bay, we make accounting technology easy to understand and use. Our setup and training support extends to real businesses in suburbs like Toukley, Killarney Vale and Gorokan.
We may also assist with:
- Upgrading or switching platforms
- Customising templates and reports
- Troubleshooting data imports or sync issues
- Integrating add-ons like inventory or job tracking
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a “best” bookkeeping software for small businesses?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best bookkeeping software for your business depends on how many staff you have, how you invoice, whether you carry stock, and whether you want to manage payroll in-house. We help you make the right call based on these factors.
Do you offer setup and training for free software?
While most clients choose paid options like Xero or QuickBooks, we can assist with some free bookkeeping software tools if your business is small and only needs basic features. We’ll help you evaluate whether free options will support long-term growth.
Can you teach me payroll too?
Yes. Our training includes payroll modules such as employee set-up, superannuation, leave entitlements, and Single Touch Payroll reporting. We also recommend payroll bookkeeping courses or provide custom training for team members.
I’ve been using spreadsheets — is it hard to switch?
Not at all. We’ll help you migrate your data to cloud software and clean up any inconsistencies. Many small business owners find it easier once they make the switch to cloud bookkeeping software.
Do you offer bookkeeping services too?
Yes. We offer complete online bookkeeping services, BAS support, and rescue bookkeeping. Once your software is set up, we may take over regular bookkeeping or support you to manage it yourself.
