Why Equilo

Most businesses are stuck between doing it themselves and a bookkeeper who just does data entry.

There’s a better option in the middle.

Doing it yourself

You do the books at night.

  • Time-poor: reconciling at 10pm instead of running the business.
  • Last-minute: BAS becomes a scramble every quarter.
  • Guesswork: numbers you don’t fully trust.
  • Catch-up: the backlog grows every busy month.

A typical bookkeeper

A bookkeeper does the data entry.

  • Hourly: invoices that change every month.
  • Backward-looking: reports on what already happened.
  • Reactive: moves when you chase them.
  • One person: when they’re away, so are your books.
