Hi There

You can have a look on the Accredited Partners Directory which lists all of us, what we do & where we are:

https://partnersearch.reckon.com/results/?fwp_type_=reckon-accounts&fwp_country=australia&fwp_region=western-australia

You can filter it to your local area however with so many remote access platforms (eg Teamviewer, Zoom, MS Teams, Splashtop etc) now available, gone are the days where the only option was to have someone come into the premises in person ☺️

IS A BOOK KEEPER AN ACCOUNTANT ?

Acctd4

There’s no legal distinction as an “Accountant” isn’t a qualification. However generally, a qualified bookkeeper (BAS Agent) has more involvement/experience in day-to-day transactions including coding, payroll, BAS etc whereas only a Tax Agent can provide income tax advice & prepare tax returns.

Hi @onsite

If you look under the Advisor’s details, most will state what their qualification is & what they do eg many who are “Consultants” are also BAS or Tax Agents.

(Those of us who’ve been Reckon-Accredited for a long time did so when Reckon had a different title process. Back then, one needed to become a member as a Bookkeeper, Consultant or Trainer & it wasn’t possible to list the Accreditation status as more than one type)
