Frequently asked questions
about bookkeeping services
Most bookkeeping providers focus only on data entry and reconciling transactions. CleanSlate takes a much broader and more structured approach because businesses in New Zealand need more than someone updating numbers.
Our service covers every day-to-day requirement including bank reconciliation, invoicing, receivables follow-up, bill processing, payroll management, and preparation of financial statements. But what makes us different is how your work is reviewed and maintained.
Your records are overseen by professionals who ensure the work meets IRD expectations, follows correct accounting principles, and remains accurate every month.
We also analyse your patterns across spending, overdue invoices, cash flow movement, and payroll trends. This gives you more than numbers, it gives you clarity, risks to watch for, and opportunities to improve profitability.
Once you book a call, we begin with a short discussion to understand your workload, current systems, and the specific tasks you want to support with. After this, we request access to your bookkeeping platform or help you set it up if you are starting fresh
Our onboarding process includes:
- A review of your current records
- Identifying any gaps or areas that need cleanup
- Setting up document-sharing methods
- Creating a monthly checklist tailored to your business
- Introducing you to the team members who will work with you
Most businesses start within a few days. From your first week, you will receive regular updates and clear communication so you always know the progress being made.
Yes. We work with a wide range of New Zealand businesses including trades, retail stores, hospitality, professional services, health providers, and e-commerce brands. Each industry has its own requirements such as different invoicing cycles, supplier arrangements, payroll patterns, and GST considerations.
We tailor your bookkeeping workflow to match how your industry operates. Whether you deal with large volumes of small transactions, complex supplier payments, or seasonal revenue changes, we adjust our approach so your records stay organised and relevant to how your business runs.
Many NZ businesses unintentionally fall behind because rules change frequently, documentation is incomplete, or GST is incorrectly claimed. We prevent this by building accuracy into your monthly workflow rather than trying to fix errors at the end of the year.
Our professional bookkeeping team check that:
- GST is claimed only on valid expenses
- All zero-rated, exempt, and standard-rate transactions are treated correctly
- PAYE and KiwiSaver obligations match IRD tables
- Leave entitlements comply with the Holidays Act
- Payroll changes are lodged properly
- Supporting documents (invoices, statements, receipts) match every transaction
Because your bookkeeping is kept accurate each month, your accountant or tax agent receives clean reports, reducing delays, corrections, or IRD questions. This protects your business from penalties, unexpected tax adjustments, and stress during year-end.
Our fixed-fee pricing is designed specifically for businesses that need professional bookkeeping without the cost of employing staff. You choose a package based on the volume of transactions and services you need, and the fee remains the same each month.
This offers several advantages:
- No training costs
- No payroll or employee overheads
- No paying for downtime
- No surprise invoices
- No cost every time you ask a question
- Work reviewed by senior members at no additional charge
Most small businesses pay significantly more for an in-house position or end up spending their own evenings managing their books. With us, you get an entire bookkeeping team for less than the cost of one part-time employee, with higher accuracy and no interruptions to your workflow.
We support all major bookkeeping platforms used across New Zealand, including Xero, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB.
Many small businesses prefer Xero because it connects easily with banks, payroll systems, point-of-sale tools, and industry apps, which creates a smoother and more efficient workflow.
If you would like to move to Xero, we can manage the entire transition for you from start to finish.
Yes. Many New Zealand business owners prefer one dedicated team to handle bookkeeping, payroll, PAYE, KiwiSaver, GST filing, and leave calculations.
By combining bookkeeping with payroll and GST support, you benefit from:
- Consistent records across every system
- Fewer errors in GST, PAYE, and wage-related entries
- Better visibility of labour costs and upcoming obligations
- Timely and accurate IRD submissions
- Reliable calculation of holiday pay and leave balances
- A team that understands how all parts of your business activity connect
This unified approach keeps your processes organised, reduces mistakes, and ensures all your tasks stay on schedule throughout the year
