Accounting Software Partners / Professional Bodies
It is interesting to note that since the advent of accounting and bookkeeping software, some components of the accounting process have been absorbed into the bookkeeping process. For instance, bookkeeping software is typically capable of building financial statements—blurring some of the traditional lines between the bookkeeping and accounting processes. | Using a web-based or “cloud” system allows you to update your books from any location. It also has the added benefit of automatic off-site storage of your financial records. JenAssist is a Partner of the following accounting software leaders. |

Professional Bodies
ICB - The Institute of Certified BookkeepersJenAssist is a member of ICB (The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers) - Being an ICB Certified Bookkeeper you benefit in engaging with a bookkeeper who strives to maintain and enhance their professionalism. ICB source and refer up-to-date information on software solutions and banking techniques to assist the bookkeeper in not only being professional but also using current technology to be as efficient as possible. ICB provide, require and monitor that their members undertake relevant training and update their knowledge. ( I need to put my ICB membership here) |
TPB - Tax Practitioners BoardJenAssist is a Registered BAS Agent - The Tax Practitioners Board registers those they consider worthy as a BAS Agent, meaning they have been vetted for the knowledge required to look after a business' financials. Only registered BAS Agents (and Tax Agents) are permitted to advise or help you “ascertain” (determine, establish, discover, make certain) your liabilities, obligations or entitlements of the areas of the BAS. Only registered Agents (other than the business owner or their employees) are permitted to represent the business in dealing with the ATO. A BAS Agent does not advise nor liaise with the tax office on Income Tax Matters. This is the role of a Registered Tax Agent. If you want to double check that a bookkeeper is a BAS Agent, you can do that on this government website. |  |
