Capacity for firms, white-labeled

For accounting and tax firms

Short answer

Finbryn gives Australian accounting and bookkeeping practices extra capacity: white-label bookkeeping, busy-season prep support ahead of BAS and tax lodgement deadlines, dedicated staff pods and review support. Every deliverable can carry your firm's branding, every file stays reviewed on your side, and every BAS or return lodgement happens under your TPB-registered agent, never under our name.

Capacity for Australian practices, not a substitute for your registration

Most Australian bookkeeping and accounting practices feel the same squeeze twice a year: the run into quarterly BAS lodgement and the run into income-tax-return season, both landing on the same small team. Finbryn adds back-office production capacity for that squeeze without adding payroll, superannuation obligations or a lease on another desk. Our team works inside your existing Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks Online files, to your chart-of-accounts standard, and a senior principal reviews every file before it reaches your practice.

What moves and what does not

Production work moves to our team: categorising transactions, reconciling accounts, tying trial balances, organising source documents and building draft BAS and tax-return workpapers. What stays with your practice is anything that is a tax agent service or BAS service under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009: lodging a BAS or IAS, lodging an income-tax return, and advising a client on their own tax position. The Tax Practitioners Board explicitly permits a registered agent to have this production work carried out by a third party, provided the arrangement sits under a written supervision agreement and the registered agent keeps control and responsibility for the finished lodgement. We work under that model from day one, not around it.

Six ways practices use us

Some practices start with white-label bookkeeping for a block of monthly clients. Others need busy-season tax prep support in the weeks before a BAS quarter closes or the October self-lodger deadline, or a dedicated staff pod sized to a specific client book. Practices absorbing a bought book of clients use overflow cleanup projects. Some just want a second check before a principal signs off, which is review support. And practices still weighing whether outsourced capacity suits them start with capacity planning, a scoped pilot before a single client file moves.

When files come back

A file your staff hand off before close of business is typically ready to review the next morning. Client data is handled under a written agreement that meets the cross-border disclosure obligations of Australian Privacy Principle 8. See pricing for how capacity is quoted.

Questions

Frequently asked questions: For accounting and tax firms

Can we white label your bookkeeping team for our accounting practice?

Yes. Deliverables carry your practice's templates and branding, and nothing client-facing names our team unless you choose to disclose it.

Do you lodge BAS or tax returns for your clients?

No. Our team prepares source documents and draft workpapers for a BAS or income-tax-return lodgement. Lodgement itself happens under your TPB-registered agent, under a written supervision agreement.

Do we need anything in place before sending you client files?

Yes. Australian rules require a written supervision agreement between your registered agent and our team, plus client permission to disclose their information to us, before any file moves.

How fast can you add capacity before a BAS deadline?

Most practices bring on quarterly BAS support two to three weeks ahead of the lodgement date. Exact ramp time depends on file volume and how quickly access to your practice software can be set up.

What happens to client data once it reaches your team?

Access is scoped to the files assigned, handled under the written agreement covering cross-border disclosure, and can be revoked by your practice at any time.

What is not included when a firm engages this capacity?

We do not sign, lodge or take on registered agent responsibility for any BAS or return. Your firm's TPB-registered agents retain that role and supervision throughout; we work under their instruction on the preparation side only.

How does timing work around your firm's own BAS and lodgement calendar?

Capacity is scheduled around your firm's peak periods, most often the run-up to the quarterly BAS due dates and the October self-lodger deadline, agreed in advance so extra hands are in place before the crunch, not during it.

How is this priced for an accounting firm?

Pricing is set per pod or per project scope, based on the volume of client files and the mix of work, and quoted after a short intake call rather than a fixed public rate.

What data access does our firm need to grant?

Read or limited-edit access to client files inside your practice management and accounting software, granted client by client under the written consent your firm already collects, and revoked at the end of the engagement.
