1 in 5 business owners
loses a full week every month
to financial admin.
Reconciliations, invoicing, payroll, reporting. A HIPPO specialist keeps the financial engine running so the numbers stay current without you touching them.
Book a Connect SessionFinancial admin is constant. Most businesses underestimate
how much of it there is.
Reconciliations, invoices, payroll, super, receipts. Each task is manageable on its own. Together, across a month, they add up to more than most business owners expect.
One in five business owners spends 21 or more hours a month on financial admin. That is before the end-of-quarter BAS crunch or the annual scramble to get records ready for the accountant.
Books that fall behind cause real problems. Cashflow forecasts become guesswork, invoices go out late, and the accountant charges more to clean up what should have been maintained week to week.
Ten tasks a HIPPO bookkeeping specialist handles from day one.
Bank reconciliation
Matches transactions to records daily or weekly. Your accounts stay current without you touching them.
Accounts payable processing
Enters, codes, and schedules supplier invoice payments. Nothing gets missed. Nothing gets paid twice.
Accounts receivable and debtor follow-up
Raises invoices on time. Tracks what is outstanding. Sends reminders so you are not the one chasing payment.
Payroll processing
Calculates pay runs, manages PAYG withholding, and submits correctly each cycle.
BAS preparation support
Collates GST figures and transaction data, ready for your BAS agent or accountant to review and lodge. The data is clean before it reaches them.
Expense categorisation and receipt processing
Captures and codes receipts against the right accounts in Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks. No backlog building up at month end.
Financial reporting
Prepares monthly P&L, cashflow, and balance sheet summaries for your review. You see the numbers without producing them.
Superannuation administration
Calculates, processes, and records super contributions accurately each pay cycle. Compliant and on time.
Client and job billing
Generates invoices from timesheets, job records, or agreements and sends them on schedule.
Financial data entry and system maintenance
Keeps the accounting system clean, current, and ready for your accountant. Year-end becomes straightforward.
Your involvement is minimal. Your decisions are fully informed.
Before we recruit anyone, we map the entire role with you in detail. What the work involves, what good output looks like, and what kind of person it needs. You get a written Role Blueprint within two business days.
We run the full search from sourcing through to shortlist. Hundreds of applicants assessed across interviews, skills testing, and background checks. You meet two or three candidates we can stand behind, and you choose.
Before your specialist starts, the work gets captured and documented. You show us the priority tasks once. We handle the recording, structuring, and procedure build. Day one starts with the work already documented.
We manage onboarding, then stay in the arrangement for the long run. Coaching, welfare, and performance reviews run on an ongoing cadence, well beyond the early months. Keeping good people is how the value compounds.
