Our take
Abacus Taxation Services offers bookkeeping for Brisbane businesses alongside tax and business accounting from Springwood. Its current pricing page explicitly lists bookkeeping, software setup and training, while the team page names an in house bookkeeper familiar with several accounting systems. This is a useful distinction from firms offering only year end accounts. Ask for a current quote and clarify how bookkeeping feeds into BAS and tax work.

Who will you deal with?
Lisa Zambelli is identified as principal accountant, director and the founder of Abacus Taxation Services. The team page also names senior accountant and client manager Vicki Zambelli, accountant Jodie Hoffman, and workflow manager and bookkeeper Chantal Spangenberg. Chantal’s biography lists experience with QuickBooks, Xero and MYOB. Ask whether she will be your regular bookkeeping contact and which accountant will review reporting and tax matters.
