Not-for-profit childcare bookkeeping

A committee needs financial reports it can understand and records it can rely on. We support not-for-profit childcare centres, community preschools and committee-managed services with day-to-day bookkeeping, payroll and reporting.

Monthly reports your committee can use

We prepare reports showing income, spending and available funds, and explain the figures for the treasurer and committee. We can compare results with your budget and highlight differences to discuss at the next meeting.

Grant records and funding reports

We track grant income and spending against the relevant funding requirements and help prepare supporting reports. Tell us about each grant and the reports you need when requesting a quote, so the work reflects your service’s funding arrangements.

Prepare for the annual audit throughout the year

We organise bank reconciliations, supporting documents and financial records as the bookkeeping is completed. We help prepare the information your auditor requests. Audit preparation is our bookkeeping support; the independent audit itself remains with your auditor.

Payroll and everyday accounts still need attention

Committee reporting sits alongside the regular work: employee pay, leave and super, parent fees, supplier bills and BAS. We help calculate payroll under the applicable Award or enterprise agreement, including the relevant classifications, pay rates, allowances and leave entitlements. Retention-payment administration and CCMS account management can also form part of your agreed services.

A quote that reflects your reporting needs

We ask about your service type, software, employee numbers, committee reporting schedule, grant records and annual audit requirements. We then confirm the work and fixed fee in writing, including any budgeting or additional reports you need.

Common questions

Do you work with community preschools and OSHC services?

Yes. We work with not-for-profit childcare centres, community preschools and outside school hours care services, including those managed by committees.

Can you help a new treasurer understand the reports?

Yes. We explain the figures and answer questions so the treasurer and committee can use the reports to oversee the service’s finances.

Will the quote include grant reporting and audit preparation?

Tell us which grants and reports apply and what support your auditor needs. We include the agreed work in your detailed quote.

Can you handle payroll under our enterprise agreement?

Yes. Where an enterprise agreement applies to your employees, we use its pay rates, classifications, allowances and leave provisions when preparing payroll. Tell us which agreement your service uses so we can review the payroll work and include it in your detailed quote.
