ATO-compliant bookkeeping for Australian SMEs, sole traders, and trusts at $9–$18/hr AUD. MYOB and Xero experts. BAS preparation, GST, STP payroll. Save $20,000–$55,000/year vs local rates.
Sharma Jyoti & Co provides ATO-compliant outsourced bookkeeping to Australian businesses at $9–$18/hr AUD. Our ICAI-qualified team handles MYOB and Xero management, BAS preparation, GST reconciliation, Single Touch Payroll (STP), and monthly management accounts — saving Australian businesses $20,000–$55,000 per year vs local bookkeeper rates of $30–$70/hr.
Australian businesses outsourcing bookkeeping to India get the same ATO-compliant records as they would from a local bookkeeper — BAS-ready GST reconciliations, STP-compliant payroll journals, and year-end June 30 financials — at a fraction of the cost. Our team is trained specifically in Australian requirements: the 1/11th GST method, input-taxed vs GST-free supplies, PAYG Withholding, Payday Super, and the ATO's BAS lodgement standards. See our bookkeeping service and our Australia blog with 26 articles on Australian bookkeeping and outsourcing.
Yes, completely legal. Australian businesses face no legal restriction on outsourcing bookkeeping work to qualified professionals overseas. The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) regulates who can prepare and lodge BAS returns — this must be a registered BAS Agent or Tax Agent. But the underlying bookkeeping and preparation work can legally be done by qualified professionals in India, reviewed and lodged by your registered Australian agent. This is standard practice across Australian CPA and accounting firms that operate India-based preparation centres.
The Privacy Act 1988 governs how personal and financial data can be shared with overseas providers. We satisfy these requirements with a signed data processing agreement before any access is granted. Your data remains in your MYOB or Xero account — we access it through an accountant invite, not by downloading it to our own systems.
A registered BAS Agent must lodge BAS returns. Preparation work is unrestricted by location — only lodgement requires the registered agent.
We provide a data processing agreement covering offshore disclosure requirements under the Privacy Act 1988. Your data stays in your MYOB or Xero account.
Our team holds ICAI qualifications — India's peak accounting body equivalent to CPA Australia. ICAI and CPA Australia have a mutual recognition agreement.
Australian CPA firms, Big 4 practices, and mid-tier accounting firms have used Indian preparation teams for decades. This is not unusual — it is the industry standard at scale.
