Business Accounting Software Setup
The right business accounting software should save you hours a week — not create a mess that surfaces at BAS time.
Yet most Sunshine Coast businesses are either still running their books out of a spreadsheet, or stuck with a Xero or MYOB file that was never set up properly. The fix isn’t more software. It’s having the right platform set up, connected and run by the same people who lodge your BAS and tax return.
That’s what we do. As a registered tax agent practice in Sippy Downs, TaxDigital sets up your business accounting software — Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks — configures it for the way your BAS and tax actually need to be lodged, migrates your data, trains your team, and keeps it running. All 100% online, wherever you are on the Sunshine Coast.

The End in Mind
Precision Setup. Seamless Filing.
Why Sunshine Coast Chooses TaxDigital for Business Accounting Software
Plenty of providers will sell you a software subscription and leave you to it. The gaps show up later — at BAS and tax time, when the file isn’t structured for GST, PAYG or your industry’s reporting.
Because we’re the practice that prepares your BAS and IAS and lodges your return, we set your accounting software up with the end in mind: cleaner quarterly reporting, fewer errors, and no fix-up scramble before every lodgement. It’s the same digital-first approach behind our small business accounting and sole trader services.
Cleaner Reporting
Fewer Errors
Our Business Accounting Software Services
We work across the major cloud platforms — Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks — and recommend based on your business, not a partner arrangement. Whether you’re a sole trader going digital for the first time or a growing small business with payroll and stock, the setup is built around what you actually need to report.
Software Setup and Data Migration
New file, or a move from spreadsheets, desktop software or another platform. We build your chart of accounts, connect your bank feeds, migrate historical data where required, and configure GST and payroll settings correctly from day one — so your first BAS out of the new system is right the first time.
Fixing and Rescuing Existing Files
If your current Xero or MYOB file is a mess — miscoded transactions, unreconciled accounts, a chart of accounts no one understands — we clean it up and restructure it so your reporting is trustworthy again, rather than starting from scratch unnecessarily.
Integration with Bookkeeping, Payroll and BAS
We connect your software to the rest of your compliance: day-to-day bookkeeping, payroll (including the Payday Super changes taking effect from 1 July 2026), and quarterly BAS and IAS lodgement. One file, one practice, one point of contact.
Training and Ongoing Support
Practical training for you and your staff on the parts of the software you’ll use every week, plus ongoing support so the file stays clean year-round instead of drifting between lodgements.
Industry-Specific Accounting Software Setups
Some sectors carry reporting requirements a generic setup misses. We configure your software around them rather than bolting compliance on later:
- check_circle Building and construction — project costing, subcontractor compliance and trade-specific GST/BAS handling. See our construction accounting services.
- check_circle Medical and allied health — payroll tax, PSI rules and service-fee structuring built into the file. See our medical practice accounting services.
How It Works
Step 1: Free Consultation and Assessment
A free 30-minute consultation, online and at a time that suits you, to review your current system and reporting needs. You leave with a clear, upfront recommendation on the right platform and setup for your business.
Step 2: Software Setup, Migration and Training
We configure the software, migrate your data, connect bank feeds and payroll, and train you and your staff on the day-to-day workflow — so the system is ready to use, correctly, from handover.
Step 3: Ongoing Support and Compliance
Continued support and monitoring so your file stays accurate, your BAS stays on time, and you’re kept ahead of changes like Payday Super rather than caught out by them.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on your business. Xero suits most small businesses and sole traders wanting a clean, widely supported cloud system. MYOB is often a strong fit for established businesses with more complex payroll or inventory. QuickBooks can suit micro-businesses and freelancers wanting a lower-cost entry point. Rather than push one product, we recommend the platform that matches how you actually operate and report — then set it up for you.
Yes. Cleaning up miscoded transactions, unreconciled accounts and a confusing chart of accounts is one of the most common jobs we take on. In most cases we can rescue and restructure your existing file rather than start over, then get your reporting back to something you can trust.
A straightforward new setup for a sole trader can often be ready within days; a migration for an established business with payroll, historical data and integrations takes longer. We give you a clear timeframe and a fixed quote at your consultation, before any work starts.
Yes. Beyond setup, we offer ongoing support during business hours and keep your file compliant as your business and the rules change. And because TaxDigital is a registered tax agent practice, the same team can also run your bookkeeping, lodge your BAS and prepare your tax return — so you’re not paying one provider for the software and another to lodge.
Pricing is upfront and fixed, agreed before any work begins, so there are no surprise bills. The cost depends on whether it’s a fresh setup, a migration or a file rescue, and on the size of your business. Book a free consultation for a fixed quote on your situation.
