Download The Ultimate Bookkeeping
Impact Checklist and Discover…
Is your current bookkeeping and finance team helping you achieve
more of your organisation’s purpose… or are they holding you back?
With the help of this quick checklist, you can stop guessing and see for
yourself what business could look like with the right purpose-driven
bookkeepers on your side. Download it now for FREE to get started!
As a purpose-driven business, keeping your mission front of mind is crucial. But
chances are at one time or another, you’ve felt pulled away from your goals by all
the day-to-day tasks that creep up. From invoicing, to payroll, to reconciling
payments, through to ensuring you’re ready for tax time or audits, managing your
business’ finances can actually take up a LOT of your valuable time.
Many businesses don’t realise that a lot of what falls on
their plate actually can (and should!) sit on the shoulders of
their bookkeeper instead!
The wrong bookkeepers for your business can leave you
feeling overwhelmed by your numbers, out of control
about your financial position, and scared when tax and
audit-time rolls around.
While the right team around you can leave you feeling
lighter, more driven towards your goals, and freed up to
focus on what matters most: your world-changing, life-
impacting, difference-making business!
This simple checklist will help you see your business’ bookkeeping situation clearly, and
determine if it’s time for your business to level-up your bookkeeping support.
Complete this checklist and get your results in just 3 steps:
01
receive a series of ‘before and
after’ questions about your
business’ current bookkeeping
situation.
02
(ie. chaos or calm) and tally up your answers to see how you scored.
03
you reach your goals, or holding you back from what matters most: your purpose.
This checklist was developed by our team of bookkeepers, finance experts and number ninjas.
While it’s a helpful tool for businesses of any kind, we’ve created it with the people we love to
work with in mind: purpose-driven businesses on a mission to make a difference.
This is perfect if you are a…
who wants to make better decisions,
meet funding obligations, and stay
focused on your impact and mission.
who wants to make an impact and a
profit, and ensure your business is as
socially responsible, ethical, and
climate-conscious as it can be.
who wants to level-up your carbon
accounting and bookkeeping, so you
can stay on-track towards your goals.

I have been working with
Purposely for a couple of years
now and in this time the team
has shown significant support to
me and my business.
Their technical expertise has helped me get my business in order leaving me to focus on what I do best. They communicate on a weekly basis so I know where things are at and what is yet to be done. Everything is completed and lodged on time and in full. I trust that they handle my data confidentially and would recommend them to anyone who is seeking the “next level” in terms of a bookkeeper.

has saved me a lot of stress. I would
highly recommend Purposely as they
are very professional and very easy to
deal with.
Chris Anastasios Exercise Physiology
We have been working with Clare
and her team for the last 6 years.
Our initial contact with them came
from the difficulties we faced in
integrating our point of sale system
with our accounting software. We
required someone with technical
expertise to fix this issue, and Clare
immediately got on with the job. Since
then, Clare and her team have shown
commitment to adapt to our evolving
needs and implement effective
systems and processes, all of which
have contributed to enhancing our
overall operations.
Think Water Broome
We had no second thoughts on choosing Purposely.
My biggest pain point was not having clarity on the business financials from the previous bookkeepers. It was frustrating to try to communicate with them regarding anything. That’s when we found Purposely (Clare), our first impression was she was very professional and knowledgeable on what she does. We now have clarity, trust and good communication whether it comes to processing the payroll or bookkeeping or even sorting out the invoices. Clare and her team are always there to support and help and simplify things for us.
Dragonfly Cafe
We have been dealing with Clare and Purposely for over 4 years because they handle the bookkeeping for one of our clients.
And we can thoroughly recommend them to anyone that needs an efficient, accurate and easy to work with bookkeeper. We have always found their work to be of the highest quality.
Accounting on Tap Pty Ltd
I have nothing but praise for Clare & the team, they have always bent over backwards to help.
Myself & my business have been involved with Purposely for many years now after our internal Book-keeper decided to retire & suggested I look into what was/is Purposely. Purposely are Kimberley locals & understand how difficult it can be working remotely to run a business in this part of Australia. The team adapted to my requests & business style very quickly and I have to admit I haven’t always been the easiest person to work with due to the remote nature of our work & my lack of computer skills. GND will continue to use Purposely for the foreseeable future of our business.
