Bookkeeper needed – Xero cleanup & ongoing reconciliation (Australian business)
We run a caravan/boat/motorhome storage business based in Queensland, using Xero and Stripe. Looking for an experienced Australian bookkeeper to help us get our books properly sorted and then keep on top of them going forward.
Immediate job:
Import and reconcile ~8 months of historical Stripe transactions (Dec 2025–present) — charges, fees, refunds against Storage Income and Stripe Fees accounts
Reconcile a Westpac account we've since moved away from (now on CommBank) — some transactions need to be flagged as related-party transfers for our accountant to review before coding, so please don't guess on those, just flag and hold
Ongoing
Monthly Stripe/bank reconciliation
Coordinating with our accountant around BAS time
General Xero housekeeping as the business grows
You should have:
Solid Xero experience
Comfortable reconciling payment processors (Stripe experience a big plus)
Good communication happy to flag anything unusual rather than just pushing it through
Based in Australia.

Thinking about moving from Excel or Google Sheets to a CRM? Don’t migrate the problems with the data.
Before choosing or configuring a CRM, I usually check five things:
• Does every active lead have a clear owner?
• Is there always a defined next action?
• Are follow-up dates consistently tracked?
• Are lead statuses clear and used consistently?
• Could another team member understand the spreadsheet without asking for help?
If several answers are “no”, the problem may not be the CRM yet — it may be the workflow behind it.
A CRM works much better when the sales process is clear before migration starts. I created a free CRM Readiness Self-Check for small teams that want to identify these gaps before investing more time or money in a CRM.
If you’re currently working from spreadsheets and considering a CRM, comment “CHECK” or send me a message and I’ll send it to you.
