About The Perth Bookkeeper

More than a bookkeeper — a financial partner for Perth small businesses.

Our Mission

More Than a Bookkeeper — A Financial Partner

The Perth Bookkeeper was founded by Agnieszka with one clear mission: to give Perth small business owners the financial clarity, organisation and compliance support they deserve — without the stress, confusion or last-minute panic.

Running a business is already demanding. Between serving customers, managing staff, sending invoices, paying suppliers and keeping up with ATO obligations, bookkeeping can quickly become overwhelming.

That is where The Perth Bookkeeper comes in.

We help small business owners stay on top of their numbers with accurate bookkeeping, BAS preparation, Xero support, payroll, reporting and practical financial organisation. The goal is simple: to help you feel confident, prepared and in control of your business finances.

Meet Agnieszka

The Person Behind the Numbers

Agnieszka's journey began far from Perth, in Poland, where she grew up with a love of learning, languages and problem-solving.

Always a dedicated student, she became fluent in Polish and English, and also studied German. While her original plan was to study languages, life took her in a slightly different direction. She completed a Bachelor's degree in International Relations and later continued her studies at the University of Economics in Krakow, where she completed her Master's degree.

During her studies, Agnieszka began working in outsourcing, starting in Accounts Payable. Her strong attention to detail, logical thinking, mathematical skills and ability to work across languages helped her thrive. Over time, she moved into controlling and general ledger roles within large companies, building a strong foundation in accounting, reporting and business finance.

In 2013, Agnieszka and her husband made the life-changing decision to move to Australia. They were ready for a fresh start, beautiful weather and the opportunity to build a new future.

After arriving in Australia, Agnieszka completed her CPA studies and began working in public practice. She started in an administrative role, but as her experience grew, she transitioned into full-time accounting. During this time, she had the great fortune of working with Josie, an incredible mentor who trusted her, guided her and taught her so much about Australian taxation, bookkeeping and small business support.

Over nearly eight years in public practice, Agnieszka developed a deep appreciation for helping small and medium-sized business owners. She discovered that bookkeeping and Xero support were not just technical tasks — they were practical ways to give business owners confidence, structure and peace of mind.

That passion eventually led to the creation of The Perth Bookkeeper.

Our Purpose

Why The Perth Bookkeeper Exists

The Perth Bookkeeper exists because many small business owners feel lost, behind or unsure when it comes to their numbers.

Some do not know whether their bookkeeping is accurate. Some only look at their accounts when BAS is due. Others rely on messy spreadsheets, old software or systems that no longer suit the way their business operates.

Agnieszka wanted to create a bookkeeping service that felt different — personal, proactive and easy to understand.

The Perth Bookkeeper is built around clear communication, accurate records and practical support. You do not just receive reports and numbers. You receive guidance, structure and a bookkeeper who genuinely wants your business to run more smoothly.

Our Motto

Work smarter, not harder.

That means using the right systems, keeping your records up to date and giving you the information you need before things become stressful.

Credentials

Registered BAS Agent — Not Just a Bookkeeper

The Perth Bookkeeper is a Registered BAS Agent.

BAS Agent Number: 262 458 37

This matters because not every bookkeeper is legally authorised to provide BAS services for a fee. As a Registered BAS Agent, The Perth Bookkeeper can help with BAS preparation and lodgement, GST coding, PAYG withholding, payroll-related reporting and other BAS services.

Our BAS support is designed to help you stay prepared throughout the year — not just scramble when the deadline arrives.

  • Bank feeds and reconciliation
  • Chart of accounts review
  • Payroll setup and support
  • Invoice and bill management
  • Monthly reports

How We Work

What Makes Us Different

Weekly Reconciliation, Not Just Monthly

Many businesses only look at their books once a month, or worse, only when BAS is due. At The Perth Bookkeeper, we believe weekly reconciliation gives business owners a much clearer picture. When your accounts are reconciled weekly, you can identify missing receipts, unpaid invoices, cash flow issues and unusual transactions before they turn into bigger problems.

A Real Person, Not a Call Centre

When you work with The Perth Bookkeeper, you work directly with Agnieszka. You are not passed between departments. You are not treated like a number. You do not need to explain your business over and over again to different people. You have one dedicated bookkeeper who takes the time to understand your business, your systems and the way you like to work.

Our Approach: Accurate, Proactive, Clear

We want your bookkeeping to feel clear, organised and manageable. Our focus is not just on recording transactions. It is on helping you build better financial habits and more confidence in your business. When your bookkeeping is organised, you can make better decisions, plan ahead and understand your cash flow.
