We use the term “management accounting” instead of “bookkeeping” to reflect the holistic nature of our services and the unified and proactive expertise we bring to our clients.
What does this mean?
Focus on Holistic Service: Management accounting goes beyond transactional data entry to focus on analysing financial performance, providing strategic insights, and supporting business decision-making. This aligns with our goal to deliver an integrated, end-to-end service that adds greater value for our clients.
Integration with Accounting Teams: Management Accounting emphasises how closely these roles are tied to the broader accounting function. Management Accountants are not working in isolation but are integrated with our accounting teams, ensuring seamless collaboration and alignment.
Reflecting Expertise: “Bookkeeping” often implies basic or transactional tasks, which doesn’t accurately represent the qualifications or the strategic input provided by our team members in these roles at Aintree Group. The term “Management Accountant” acknowledges their skills and the critical role they play in financial planning, reporting, and supporting client business growth.
Future-Focused Approach: This term supports our team structure as we focus on developing skills, fostering collaboration, and delivering a unified and proactive client experience.
As your accountant, we understand how you like to do things. So, we can tailor our management accounting services to the specific needs of you and your business.
You can either pick and choose what you need help with or let us take everything off your hands so you can focus on running your business. We have clients who we simply lodge BAS for, and we have clients whose bank accounts we operate fully – and everything in between.
All our Management Accountants are also Xero Advisor Certified and have additional Xero certifications in the following areas: Payroll, Software Migration, Retail & eCommerce, Professional Services and Trade & Construction – so you know you’re in qualified hands!
How we can help…
Day to Day Management
We will process your accounts from your bank statements, invoices and bills, making sure you’re up to date at all times. We will compare your records with what actually goes through the bank, and pick up any issues as they arise.
Accounts Payable & Receivable
We will let you know what you have to pay and how much you are owed. We’ll keep track of the people that owe you money and help you to get paid on time. Many of our Premium clients trust us to prepare payments to suppliers, in line with your budget and their trading terms, to ensure continuing supply and great relationships.
Payroll & Superannuation Services
We will look after your payroll and super so your employees are paid the right amount and on time. We will ensure your STP deadlines are met, your PAYG Withholding tax reported, and take care of your Payroll Tax and Workers’ Compensation Insurance obligations.
Management Reporting
Our clients know that the management reports they receive are an accurate reflection of their accounts and can make sound business decisions accordingly. Your accountant receives a copy as well, so you have a team looking out for any “red flag” items that can be addressed as they happen – not months later when your tax returns are prepared. Reports are generally prepared monthly or quarterly – but talk to us about your specific needs.
BAS & IAS Lodgement
Our bookkeepers prepare all types of activity statements, and by lodging through us you can enjoy a 4 week lodgement extension on Quarterly BAS. We’ll explain what you need to know, and can guide you through applying for payment plans via our ATO specialist team.
Cash Flow Management
We’re really passionate about helping clients with their financial goals, and optimising cash flow is a key way to achieve that. We can use real-time data to see how you’re tracking, and be your accountability partner in achieving targets.
Software Training
As a paperless firm we do need our bookkeeping clients to be on the same (metaphorical) page as us. We utilise electronic bookkeeping apps like Xero and Hubdoc and we like our clients to do the same. However, we don’t just throw you in the deep end – we offer training and support for all our bookkeeping software. If you’re new to bookkeeping, then we can offer training in that too.

She/Her
Thuong assists with our management accounting services, including BAS preparation, payroll services and data entry. She holds a Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping, and has over 10 years experience in the accounting industry, working previously as an Accountant in Finland and as a Bookkeeper and Payroll Officer here in Australia.
Having worked with clients across various industries including small to medium sized businesses, family businesses, investors and professionals, Thuong seeks to use that experience to help business owners find the best way to manage their financials and books.
Outside of work, she keeps herself fit by jogging, hiking and doing Pilates. On weekends she likes to try new restaurants – strolling around the city and suburbs looking for hidden gems.
Thuong’s background is Vietnamese, but she grew up in Finland and is very used the cold weather. She can’t wait for winter in Australia so she can hit the slopes snowboarding, which is her biggest passion. Her goal is to travel overseas at least once a year (usually to a winter destination to get more opportunities to snowboard).
All our advisors keep their Xero Advisor Certifications up to date and are also CIP Cloud Integration Partners. The team has lots of experience with cloud-based software such as Xero, MYOB, Banklink, Reckon, Cash Flow Manager and Hubdoc.
You’ll be surprised how many add-on products we are familiar with, including payroll, inventory, and POS specific packages.
Take the stress away and contact us to ask how you can get your weekends back!
