Top Accounting related questions

Most bookkeepers on Airtasker earn between $100 and $250 per task, depending on the scope. Quick tasks like reconciling Xero accounts or helping with BAS can sit around $100–$150, while more involved jobs like setting up business accounts or doing a full tax return often land in the $200–$600+ range. Offering a clear quote and explaining what’s included can help win more jobs.

There’s strong demand for help with Xero setup, reconciling accounts, preparing BAS, and completing tax returns—especially for small business owners and sole traders. You’ll also see tasks like “check my expenses in a spreadsheet,” “fix overdue taxes,” or “help me get my ABN sorted.” Clients often need a mix of compliance and catch-up help, and they value clear, no-fuss communication.

Absolutely! Around EOFY (June–August) and again during BAS quarters, task volume tends to spike. Many customers will post last-minute jobs like “Need tax agent this weekend” or “Help me lodge 3 years of returns.” It’s a great time to update your availability and reply quickly to listings.

They’re often after someone who can “explain things clearly,” “sort it fast,” or “clean up my books.” Credentials like being a registered BAS or tax agent help, but so does being responsive and approachable. Clients love when you make things feel easy, especially if they’re stressed or behind on their taxes.

For solo returns or one-off reconciliations, Taskers typically charge $100–$200. Full company tax returns or multi-year catch-ups can go up to $600 or more, depending on the complexity. For advisory or setup tasks (like “set up invoicing in Xero” or “build me a cash flow report”), pricing by the hour ($50–$100/hr) or offering package rates often works well.

Xero is by far the most requested, but MYOB, QuickBooks, and basic Excel come up regularly too. Knowing how to reconcile transactions, run reports, and manage payroll inside these platforms is a big plus. Customers often say things like “need someone good with Xero” or “help me automate reports”—so mentioning these tools in your profile helps you show up in searches.

One-off jobs are great, but many clients need ongoing support. You could offer monthly packages for “bookkeeping plus BAS,” or bundle services like “Xero setup + one hour of training.” Regular gigs often come from jobs where the customer says things like “need someone reliable long-term” or “might need this every quarter.” After completing a job, don’t be afraid to offer follow-up support—they’ll appreciate it.

Most jobs can be done remotely, especially things like spreadsheets, tax returns, and software setup. But some clients still ask for “in-person” help, especially if they have paper receipts or need someone to “come to the office for a few hours.” Make it clear in your profile if you’re available for remote, in-person, or hybrid—being flexible opens up more opportunities.

Ways to earn money with accounting jobs on Airtasker

Accounting isn’t just about crunching numbers — it’s about helping individuals and businesses stay financially healthy, organised, and compliant. On Airtasker, there’s steady demand for accountants and bookkeepers who can provide support on everything from day-to-day record-keeping to complex tax returns. 

Many of these jobs can be done remotely, giving you the flexibility to build a client base from home while working around your own schedule. Others may require on-site visits, particularly when a client needs help setting up systems or organising paperwork. 

Bookkeeping and day-to-day finance management

Bookkeeping is one of the most common requests on Airtasker, and it forms the foundation of financial management for many clients. Small businesses, sole traders, and even busy households often need someone to keep track of expenses, reconcile bank accounts, and maintain accurate financial records. 

These jobs might involve entering receipts into accounting software, matching transactions, or setting up systems that make it easier for the client to stay on top of things in the future. Having experience with popular platforms like XeroMYOB, or QuickBooks is a major advantage, as many clients are already using these tools. 

Tax preparation and BAS services

Tax season is one of the busiest times for accounting jobs on Airtasker. Individuals often look for help lodging their tax returns, while businesses may need support with BAS statements, GST reporting, or end-of-year financial statements. For registered tax agents and BAS agents, this is an excellent way to connect with clients who may later come back for broader financial services. The ability to explain tax obligations in simple, jargon-free language is a valuable skill, as many people find the process overwhelming. 

Payroll and employee management

Payroll is another area where businesses often turn to Airtasker for help. Even a small team requires accurate wage calculations, superannuation contributions, leave tracking, and compliance with Fair Work and ATO rules. Mistakes in payroll can have serious legal and financial consequences, so clients are eager to hire accountants who are thorough and experienced. 

Financial reporting and analysis

Beyond record-keeping and compliance, many clients seek accountants who can provide deeper insights into their financial performance. This type of work involves preparing profit and loss statements, balance sheets, or cash flow forecasts and then interpreting the results in a way that helps the client make better business decisions. You might be asked to identify cost-saving opportunities, highlight growth areas, or forecast future cash requirements. 

System setup and advisory work

Some clients aren’t just looking for help with ongoing tasks but need assistance setting up their systems correctly from the start. This could mean moving from manual spreadsheets to a cloud-based platform, integrating point-of-sale systems with accounting software, or setting up invoicing and payment processes. Advisory jobs like these are highly valued because they save clients time and headaches in the long run. 

Tips to increase your accounting income

To maximise your opportunities on Airtasker, keep your profile detailed and professional. Highlight your qualifications, registrations, and areas of expertise so potential clients can see your credibility at a glance. Sharing testimonials, case studies, or examples of the types of businesses you’ve helped can also make a strong impression. 

Since accounting often involves handling sensitive information, trustworthiness is just as important as skill, so be clear about your professional standards.
