What We Do

BAS preparation and lodgement, end-to-end.

advancr handles your entire BAS process — from GST reconciliation through to lodgement with the ATO. Everything completed inside your existing accounting software, on a fixed quarterly schedule.

GST Reconciliation

All transactions reviewed for correct GST treatment. Tax codes verified, mixed-supply items handled correctly, and any coding errors corrected before the BAS is prepared.

BAS Preparation

Activity statement completed inside Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks. All fields populated — GST collected, GST paid, PAYG withholding, and any other applicable labels.

Review and Authorisation

Your completed BAS is presented to you for review before lodgement. You maintain full visibility and control — nothing is lodged without your authorisation.

ATO Lodgement

Once authorised, advancr lodges your BAS with the ATO. Confirmation is provided and your records are updated — no manual submission required on your end.

Deadline Management

advancr tracks your BAS due dates and begins preparation well in advance of each deadline. No chasing, no last-minute scrambles, no ATO penalties for late lodgement.

PAYG Withholding

PAYG withholding amounts from payroll are correctly reported in your BAS each quarter. Reconciled against your payroll records to ensure the ATO figures are accurate.

Due Dates

Know your BAS deadlines.

Most Australian small businesses lodge BAS quarterly. Due dates vary depending on whether you self-lodge or use a registered BAS agent — agents receive an extended deadline.

How It Works

BAS handled without you lifting a finger.

advancr prepares your BAS as part of your monthly bookkeeping cycle. By the time each quarter closes, your books are already reconciled and your BAS is ready to review.

Step 01

Books reconciled throughout the quarter

Your transactions are coded and reconciled every month as part of your advancr subscription. By quarter end, your GST position is already accurate and up to date.

Step 02

GST reviewed and BAS prepared

At quarter end, advancr performs a full GST reconciliation, reviews all tax codes, and completes the activity statement inside your accounting software.

Step 03

You review and authorise

Your completed BAS is shared with you for review. You check the figures, ask any questions, and give authorisation to lodge — nothing is submitted without your sign-off.

Step 04

Lodged and confirmed

advancr lodges with the ATO and provides you with confirmation. Your payment obligation (or refund position) is confirmed and your records are updated.
