About Me

Hi, I'm Alex.

Why I started AG Accounting & Bookkeeping

I grew up in Dandenong and spent years working hands-on across bookkeeping and accounting — handling real client books, preparing BAS lodgements, processing payroll, and building Xero systems from the ground up.

Along the way, I kept seeing the same problem: small business owners being overcharged by large firms for work that was already being done internally or by bookkeepers — and receiving advice only at year-end, when issues had already compounded. That never sat right with me.

So I built AG Accounting & Bookkeeping to offer something different: ongoing, practical, and genuinely accessible financial support that small businesses can actually afford — without sacrificing quality or expertise.

What working with me looks like

I'm hands-on by nature. You'll always deal directly with me — not passed between staff or left waiting on callbacks. I communicate clearly, without jargon, and I'll never make you feel judged about messy books or a complicated financial situation. We start from where you are and build forward from there.

My approach is proactive, not reactive. I don't wait for things to go wrong before reaching out — I flag issues early, stay on top of lodgements, and keep your financial picture clear all year round.

My background & expertise

Six years of bookkeeping and four years of accounting experience have given me a thorough, practical understanding of what small business finances look like in the real world. I've worked across a wide range of industries, handled all scales of transactions, and built Xero systems that clients can actually navigate themselves.

I'm a registered BAS Agent with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB), a Xero Certified Advisor, and I stay current with ATO requirements so you never have to worry about being caught out.

A bit about me personally

Born and raised in Dandenong, with Italian heritage and a genuine love of food and a good espresso. I'm a passionate supporter of small businesses in our community and across Australia — and I bring that same energy and genuine care to every client relationship.

Tax Practitioners Board · Registered BAS Agent

Registered BAS Agent

AG Accounting & Bookkeeping is a registered BAS Agent with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) — Australia's government regulator for tax and BAS practitioners.

This is not a formality. Under Australian law, only registered BAS agents are legally permitted to charge a fee for preparing and lodging Business Activity Statements on behalf of a client. It is a legal requirement — not optional.

  • Legally authorised to lodge BAS directly with the ATO for you
  • Your protection — only engage qualified, regulated practitioners
  • Bound by a formal professional Code of Professional Conduct
  • Professional indemnity insurance held as required by the TPB
  • Your BAS lodged correctly every time — no ATO penalties or errors
  • I stay current with all legislative and ATO changes throughout the year
Registration with the TPB is required under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (TASA). It is an offence under Australian law for an unregistered person to charge a fee for BAS services. My TPB registration confirms AG Accounting & Bookkeeping meets all required qualifications, experience, and ethical standards set by Australian law.
