Hire a bookkeeper for professional services

A dedicated PCS team member, trained on your stack, in your hours, with sector context for professional services.

In professional-services firms the ledger is tangled up with WIP, timesheets, disbursements, and trust accounting — and partners' time is too expensive to spend on it. A PCS bookkeeper works inside your practice-management stack, keeps WIP and debtor ledgers clean, runs billing cycles on schedule, and prepares the month-end pack your accountant signs off — at 55–70% below an equivalent local hire.

Professional services context

Why this role lands well in professional services

Accounting firms, law firms, consultancies, and agencies all share the same admin overhead: client correspondence, document preparation, billing, and CRM hygiene. A dedicated nearshore admin team handles the high-volume, low-complexity work that frees up senior practitioners for billable hours. PCS structures these teams around your practice management software and client confidentiality requirements.

Industry-specific responsibilities

PCS operates admin and back-office teams for ANZ professional-services firms, structured around the practice-management software the firm already uses.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes — that's the standard setup. Your bookkeeper works directly in your cloud accounting file with role-scoped user permissions you control. Most PCS bookkeeping clients are on Xero or MYOB; QuickBooks and NetSuite are also common.
Yes. Onboarding covers the tax-handling rules for your jurisdiction, and your bookkeeper prepares GST returns or BAS workpapers for review by you or your accountant. Final lodgement sign-off stays with your NZ/AU-registered accountant.
PCS is ISO 27001:2022 certified. Bookkeepers work on PCS-provisioned, full-disk-encrypted hardware in the Suva office, access is least-privilege and logged, and confidentiality agreements cover every engagement.
Yes, and most do. Your PCS bookkeeper handles the day-to-day ledger work and prepares month-end packs, while your accountant keeps advisory, tax, and compliance sign-off. Many accounting firms also engage PCS bookkeepers directly for client work.
