lunar

Your numbers,
in full.

Lunar is the finance function most businesses are missing. Bookkeeping, payroll, BAS and virtual CFO reporting, sized and tailored to suit your specific business needs.

The virtual CFO is the business gatekeeper, they put controls and efficient processes in place, in order for the owners to focus on generating revenue and delivering the services they provide.

Specialists in construction retentions and progress claims.

The bookkeepers accountants send their clients to.

Most of our work comes to us the same way: an accountant with a client whose books are a mess. Poor system setup, no finance function, a year-end that takes weeks to untangle. They hand the bookkeeping to us because we fix that.

We keep the accounts clean all year, then prepare the final year-end file and walk it through with your accountant. We do not do year-end tax, and we never will. That is your accountant's job, and it is exactly why they trust us with the rest.

Every subcontractor we meet says a version of the same thing:

“I'm owed money. I'm just not sure how much.”

Retentions are the money your clients hold back on every progress claim, usually recovered at the end of the project. On most jobs the records are poor, variations muddy the water, and the withheld amounts quietly slip out of sight.

We reconcile your contracts, variations included, and tell you the exact sum withheld on every job. Then we help you get it back. It is our niche, and for a lot of subcontractors it is money they had written off.

Payday super is coming. Quarterly super is going.

New legislation will require employers to pay superannuation within days of paying wages, not once a quarter. For businesses that handle super manually, that is a compliance problem arriving on a schedule.

When we run your payroll, super is calculated and processed with every pay run already, so the change costs you nothing. If you are still doing it yourself, now is the time to sort it.

A virtual CFO, sized to your business.

We set the systems up

Clean accounts, sensible software, a chart of accounts that matches how you actually work. Most problems start with poor setup, so that is where we start.

We run the numbers

Payroll, BAS, super, reconciliation, claims and invoicing, processed on a regular rhythm. Compliance with the ATO stops being something you think about.

You see the full picture

Monthly reports or a live dashboard, a simple cashflow forecast, and a year-end file your accountant receives in order. Decisions made on real numbers.

Let's talk about your books.

Tell us where things are at, warts and all. We will tell you plainly what needs doing, what we would charge, and what we would leave alone.
