Why advancr

Built for Sydney's pace

Sydney businesses move fast. Margins are tight, competition is real, and your accountant needs clean books — not a box of receipts. advancr delivers professional outsourced bookkeeping so you keep moving, without the overhead of an in-house hire or the unpredictability of hourly billing.

No more surprise invoices

Traditional bookkeepers bill by the hour. advancr is a fixed monthly subscription — you know exactly what you're paying, every month, with no hidden fees.

100% remote, fully managed

No office visits, no chasing someone down. Everything happens through your shared workspace — upload your documents and we handle the rest.

Accountant-ready, always

Your books are reconciled, coded, and ready for your accountant at tax time — or any time. No last-minute scramble at BAS or EOFY.

Fixed-fee bookkeeping

Fixed-Fee Bookkeeping for Sydney Businesses — How It Works

Fixed-fee bookkeeping means one monthly cost, agreed upfront, that doesn't change based on how busy your books get. For Sydney businesses dealing with high-cost hourly billing, it's a straightforward upgrade — predictable costs, professional results, no surprises.

You know the cost before the month starts

Sydney bookkeepers typically charge $65–$90/hr. A month with extra transactions, BAS prep, or catch-up work can triple your invoice with no warning. Fixed-fee eliminates that entirely — Core is $249/month, Momentum is $449/month, Velocity is $749/month. That's it.

The scope is agreed before we start

Monthly bank reconciliation, accountant-ready records, and Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks support — all included at each tier. BAS preparation and lodgement is available as an add-on at $140/quarter. Nothing extra, nothing hidden.

No lock-in — change or cancel anytime

All advancr plans are month-to-month. Sydney businesses can start with Core and upgrade to Momentum or Velocity as their needs grow — or cancel at any time with no penalties. Fixed-fee doesn't mean fixed-in.
