We Handle the Back Office, You Handle the Business.

You’re out there running your trades business, trying to make a name for yourself. Trying to build a business that works for you.

You’re hustling, dealing with clients, running jobs, trying to keep everything together and still stay on top of your paperwork.

The admin. The bookkeeping. Doing it yourself. That’s holding you back. That's where we come in.

At Breaking BAS we supply bookkeeping and virtual assistants to trades businesses who want to grow and scale and have a life. You focus on making the big moves—we’ll handle everything else. Whether you’re a sole trader, a small team, or a growing construction company, we take care of the numbers so you can focus on the job.

Why Bookkeeping Matters for Trades and Building Businesses

You wouldn’t trust an unlicensed builder to work on your house—so why risk DIY bookkeeping when it could cost you thousands in mistakes? Many tradies struggle with:

  • Late or incorrect BAS lodgements – risking fines and ATO penalties.
  • Unreliable cash flow – leading to surprise bills and unpaid invoices.
  • Messy payroll & super – tax man don't like it when you get it wrong.
  • Unclear financial reports – making it hard to see if you’re actually making a profit.

We fix all that. With expert bookkeeping support, you’ll always know where your business stands financially, stay compliant with the ATO, and get rid of the stress that comes with managing your books.

 I’m not saying it’s not BAS. It’s BAS. But it could be worse.

At Breaking BAS bookkeeping for tradies, we ain't playin' around. We're the bookkeepers who care about your success.

We don’t just shove numbers around and call it a day. Nah, we make sure every detail of your data is entered perfectly and analysed down to the last digit. We’re on top of it, so you don’t lose a single cent. We help you keep your profits where they belong—right in your pocket.
