KBAS Bookkeeping have been our bookkeepers for more than two years. They are thorough and always keep us informed and up-to-date. They have been a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them for any small business.

I'm Treasurer of a Not for Profit organisation that uses XERO, a system that I wasn't that familiar with. With the help and support of Karen from KBAS Bookkeeping I have been able to look after the financials and understand the new system. We had a few technical issues with ownership and change over of names etc and Karen took the time to help sort it all out for us. Great service! Thanks very much. :)
