HOW CAN WE HELP YOUR BUSINESS?

Accurate bookkeeping & reliable financial reporting

Malhi Accounting Pty Ltd is a professional accounting firm focused on clarity, compliance, and dependable delivery. We help individuals and small businesses maintain clean books, understand their numbers, and make confident decisions.

Services we provide

We provide accounting support for a range of financial services, including preparing and filing tax returns, auditing and bookkeeping, financial planning, and consulting on investments and other financial decisions.

Budgeting

We provide comprehensive budgeting services to help you plan with clarity and control. After understanding your goals, we analyse income, spending patterns, and obligations to create a tailored budget that boosts cash flow and prioritises debt reduction. You’ll receive a clear allocation plan, savings targets, and checkpoints to monitor progress. With regular reviews and simple dashboards, we keep your budget actionable and adjust it as your circumstances change—so you can maximise your income, manage expenses, and stay on course.

Internal KPIs & Management Dashboards

We build tailored KPI frameworks and dashboards to track the numbers that matter most to your business. After a brief discovery, we map objectives to measurable metrics, covering revenue growth, gross margin, operating costs, cash flow, and working capital efficiency. We then implement an easy-to-read dashboard guide that helps readers understand trends, set thresholds, and take action. Monthly or quarterly reviews ensure KPIs remain relevant as your business evolves and that your team is confident using the insights to drive performance.

Basic Bookkeeping

We handle the essential bookkeeping that keeps your business running smoothly. Our team records and categorises income and expenses, reconciles bank and card accounts, and maintains an orderly general ledger. We capture and file source documents, manage payables/receivables ledgers, and provide clear month-end reports (P&L, Balance Sheet, and cash flow snapshot). You’ll have accurate, timely data for BAS, payroll, and tax planning—plus the confidence to make informed decisions. Work is performed on your preferred cloud platform with simple processes to minimise admin time.

Payroll

We offer payroll management for businesses of any size. We set up pay calendars, onboard staff, process timesheets, calculate pay and leave, issue payslips, and submit STP (Phase 2) to the ATO. Superannuation and PAYG are handled on time, every time—so your team is paid correctly and you stay compliant.

From our clients

We’re trusted by individuals and growing businesses for accurate work, clear communication, and on-time compliance. Each comment below reflects real outcomes our clients value—clean books, predictable cash flow, and fewer surprises at lodgement time.

“We moved our bookkeeping and payroll to Malhi Accounting to get control over cash flow and debtor days. The team streamlined our invoicing and timesheet process, automated bank feeds, and set up simple dashboards tracking margins and labour recovery by job. Super, PAYG, and BAS are lodged on time, and end-of-month reports arrive with plain-English notes highlighting risks and actions. Queries are answered quickly and with context, which makes planning far easier. The result is fewer surprises, tighter collections, and confidence in the numbers we’re using to quote and schedule work. It feels like a genuine partnership—accurate, responsive, and focused on outcomes, not just compliance.”

Aaron Gellion

Director, Company Electrical

“Malhi Accounting brought much-needed structure to our project accounting. They set up job costing properly in Xero, aligned cost codes to our progress claims, and tightened controls around retentions and variations. Month-end is now predictable: reconciliations are clean, WIP is reviewed with clear commentary, and we receive a concise pack showing gross margin by job. Payroll and STP Phase 2 are handled without fuss, and BAS lodgements are scheduled to suit our cash cycle. What I value most is the practical guidance—when an issue surfaces, we get a specific fix and a timeline, not theory. The accounts withstand scrutiny, the numbers are on time, and I have the visibility I need to make decisions on resourcing and pricing.”

Brendan Pevreal

Director, Company Constructions

“Our growth created complexity in payroll, billing, and quarterly compliance. Malhi Accounting established a structured cadence, ensuring accurate payroll processing with STP Phase 2 lodgements, month-end reconciliations, and a concise package that provides P&L, balance sheet, and cash-flow insights. Variances are explained, and we receive targeted actions—tightening WIP, improving debtor days, and scheduling BAS payments to match cash cycles. The team is meticulous and easily accessible, with clear audit trails and documentation that withstands scrutiny. What stands out is their combination of precision and practicality: the accounts are clean, lodgements are on time, and we get decision-ready information instead of raw data.”

Michael Scott

Director, Services Company

“Malhi Accounting took over my books during a busy quarter and immediately brought clarity to what had become a headache. They reconciled prior transactions, set a simple document-capture workflow, and prepared my BAS with clear explanations of every figure. I particularly appreciate the monthly check-ins—short, focused calls that keep me on track without disrupting my day. Their advice on deductions and quarterly provisioning has removed the stress I used to feel around tax time. Everything is presented in plain English, turnarounds are quick, and I always know what’s next. For a sole trader, the combination of accuracy, responsiveness, and practical guidance has been a game-changer.”

Mitchell Bromilow

Sole Trader

“We engaged Malhi Accounting to migrate our bookkeeping to Xero and establish a reliable month-end routine. They implemented bank feeds, streamlined our chart of accounts, and introduced a simple process for supplier bills and receipt capture. The difference has been immediate: our BAS is lodged early, inventory and margins are reported consistently, and cash-flow forecasting has improved ordering decisions. I now receive timely management reports with commentary that highlights risks and opportunities—not just numbers. Communication is professional and proactive; queries are answered the same day, and recommendations are specific and actionable. We went from reactive to organised, with full confidence in our compliance and reporting.”
