St Lucia Business Services
Big-firm rigour, small-firm care — trusted bookkeeping and reporting for Brisbane’s not-for-profits, churches and growing small businesses
Meet the finance and accounting team behind your best year yet
At St Lucia Business Services, we become your finance and accounting team — not just another supplier. From day-to-day bookkeeping to board-ready reporting, we keep your numbers accurate, current and clear, so you can lead with confidence.
We’re Xero specialists who pair big-firm rigour with genuine, small-firm care. Your information is stored in a secure, controlled environment with enterprise-grade protection, and our fixed-fee pricing means no surprises — ever.
Whether you run a growing small business, a not-for-profit or a church, we make good financial management feel effortless.
Affordable fixed-fee services for small and medium businesses and not-for-profits form the core of the practice. Alongside this sits a distinct giving-back program of pro bono and heavily discounted support for churches and charities.
Everything your numbers need — in one dependable team
We offer two connected service pillars. Start with the essentials and add support as you grow — all on clear, fixed fees.
Bookkeeping & Accounting
The heart of what we do. We keep your books tidy and your reporting sharp: cloud bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, transaction coding, accounts payable and receivable, debtor management, and payroll with Single Touch Payroll through your software. Each month we deliver a clean month-end pack, management reporting, cash flow and dashboards — real-time numbers you can act on with confidence.
Administrative & Virtual Services
Practical bolt-ons that lift your cash flow and free your time: invoicing and friendly debtor follow-up, data entry and document management, and inbox and calendar support. Small things, handled well — so nothing slips and money comes in sooner.
Giving back — pro-bono & discounted program
Good governance shouldn’t be a luxury. Alongside our paid services, we run a dedicated pro bono and heavily discounted program for eligible churches and registered charities — because strong, transparent finances help good work go further. Talk to us about eligibility
Senior expertise. Personal service.
St Lucia Business Services was founded on a simple belief: every organisation deserves the calibre of financial support usually reserved for large corporates — delivered with the warmth and attention of a small, dedicated team.
Our principals bring more than 20 years’ combined experience across professional practice, industry and the not-for-profit sector, including earlier careers at Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers. That grounding in big-firm discipline now powers a boutique practice built around you.
Professional memberships and credentials include:
• CPA Australia
• CIMA / ACMA and CGMA (Chartered Global Management Accountant)
• AICPA (American Institute of CPAs)
• The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Australia
• ACFE (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners)
• ISACA / CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor)
Our principals are also graduates of the Australian National University (ANU). This blend of accounting, management, internal audit, fraud-prevention and information-systems expertise means governance and control are built into everything we do — an unusual depth of assurance for a practice of our size.
The result is a governance-strong partner you can trust with your numbers, your reporting and your reputation — and a team that genuinely enjoys helping you succeed.
Frequently Asked Questions
A few things clients often ask
We work on fixed fees, agreed with you up front — our “no surprises” promise. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start, with no hourly billing and no unexpected invoices. As your needs change, we’ll re-quote transparently.
We’re Xero specialists and it’s our recommended platform for most clients because it’s powerful, secure and cost-effective. If you’re already on another cloud system, talk to us — we’ll advise honestly on whether to stay or move.
Your information is held in a secure, controlled environment with enterprise-grade protection, including encryption, access controls and reputable cloud infrastructure. With senior information-systems audit expertise in the team, data security is core to how we operate.
Our core services are bookkeeping, management accounting, and reporting. Where BAS lodgement or tax advice is required, we prepare the work and lodge through our registered BAS-agent / tax-agent partner, so you always receive properly authorised services.
Bookkeeping keeps your records accurate day-to-day; BAS and tax involve lodging returns with the ATO, which must be handled by a registered agent. We manage your books and reporting, and coordinate BAS/tax through our registered-agent partner — a seamless experience for you.
