About

👋 Meet Bettina from Tradies Bookkeeping

Hi, I’m Bettina – founder of Tradies Bookkeeping and a bookkeeper with 20+ years of experience working with tradies who’d rather be on the tools than stuck doing admin.

This all started when I was helping out my sparkie partner during a reno. I kept seeing the same thing – hardworking tradies flat-out running jobs, with no time (or patience) for chasing invoices, sorting receipts, or dealing with the ATO. The result? Cash flow stress, compliance issues, and a lot of avoidable headaches.

That’s when I realised tradies didn’t need lectures or spreadsheets.
They needed backup. That’s what I do.

What We Do (Without the Jargon)

At Tradies Bookkeeping, we take the paperwork off your plate – so you can focus on the work that pays.

  • BAS & compliance sorted

  • Xero file tidy and up to date

  • Invoices sent, bills tracked, payroll handled

  • No confusing reports – just clear, practical info

  • Fast answers, no judgement, and no BS

We also share simple, no-nonsense tradies bookkeeping tips on our blog to help you understand the numbers behind your business – even if you’d rather not.

Based in NSW, Backing Tradies Australia-Wide

We might be based in NSW, but thanks to Xero and cloud accounting tools, we support tradies right across Australia – from Melbourne to Brisbane, Perth to Hobart, and everywhere in between.

Whether you’re quoting in your ute or on-site with the team, we’re just a message away.

A Word from Bettina

After smashing 3 Unit Maths at my selective high school, I studied Chemical Engineering, detoured into nursing, then found my way back to what I love – numbers.

After helping my partner with his books, I realised how powerful it is for a tradie business to have proper systems, clean books, and someone they can count on.

Now, we work with sole traders, small teams, and growing trade businesses – to keep the books tight, the ATO happy, and the stress levels low.

When I’m not balancing the books, I’m usually travelling, eating great food, or (ideally) both.

We’re all
about the details

We’re early,
not just on time

We’re easy to reach,
and quick to respond

We get things sorted,
before you ask

We’re here to help –
not judge

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! We offer weekly and monthly fixed-price bookkeeping packages so that you always know what you’re up for and can budget for it.

Yes!! We also offer a special one-off bookkeeping package to clean things up, lodge any outstanding BAS’ or other reports, such as Taxable Payments Annual Reports, to get you back on track, and the ATO off your back.

Of course!!! We are very approachable and easy to talk to, and really make an effort to answer the phone. We totally appreciate that sometimes it’s just so much easier to make a quick call rather than emailing at the end of the day (when you’re tired and home trying to help out with the kids). Also, because of our fixed-price bookkeeping packages, which means, compared to other bookkeepers this won’t cost you any extra.

Definitely!!!! One of the first things we do is set up easy-to-understand systems that will give us the information we need to find out how your business is going at any point in time.

Unfortunately not. We are bookkeepers, not accountants, but we have many contacts in the accounting world and we’re happy to give recommendations of accountants we find easy to work with and we think do their job well. Working with a bookkeeper is another way to reduce costs spent on accountants. We do all the heavy lifting for you, making their job quicker, which means they bill you less. 

Through her work with the Master Builders Association NSW, Bettina got involved with the building of the Seaside Community School in Vanuatu in 2017. Since then, she’s not only raised over $8,000 but also visits each year to give hands-on support.
