The Priory Books and Tax is a team of registered BAS agents and certified Xero bookkeepers who specialise in hospitality bookkeeping and franchise small businesses. Whether you run a single café, a busy restaurant or a multi-site franchise operation, our hospitality bookkeeper team handles the books, payroll, BAS and IAS lodgements and the franchisor KPI reporting — all on one fixed monthly fee.
Bookkeeping for hospitality is different to standard small-business bookkeeping — tight margins, daily POS takings, split shifts, tips, awards, casual rosters and supplier credits. Our hospitality bookkeeping process is built around the rhythms of a venue: weekly reconciliations in Xero, weekly bill processing through Dext, payroll runs aligned to your roster, and quarterly BAS/IAS prepared and lodged on time.
We're based in Perth and operate as a franchisee accountant in Perth for WA hospitality and franchise owners, while also supporting bookkeeping for hospitalityvenues and franchisees across NSW, VIC, QLD, SA and the NT through cloud-based Xero workflows. As a BAS agent for franchise small business, we give you ATO lodgement extensions and ensure every BAS and IAS is reviewed before it's submitted.
Each franchisor and hospitality brand has different reporting needs — wages %, COGS %, weekly sales mix, store-on-store benchmarks. Your dedicated hospitality bookkeeper tailors your Xero file and management dashboard so franchisor reporting takes minutes instead of days, and so you always know how your venue is really performing.
Do you offer bookkeeping for franchisees of specific franchise brands?
Yes. We work with franchisees across hospitality, fitness, retail and trade franchise brands — including 7-Eleven, Domino's, Subway, Anytime Fitness, Snap Fitness, Bakers Delight, Jim's Group and many other franchise systems. Reporting is tailored to each franchisor's KPI template.
Are you a registered BAS agent for franchise small businesses?
Yes — we are registered BAS agents and prepare and lodge quarterly BAS and monthly IAS for franchise small businesses across Australia, with full ATO compliance and lodgement extensions.
Are you certified Xero bookkeepers for franchises?
Yes. We are Xero-certified bookkeepers and run all franchisee files on Xero, integrated with your POS, payroll and franchisor reporting systems.
Do you have a franchisee accountant in Perth?
Yes — our team is based in Perth and supports franchisee accountant and bookkeeping needs across WA and the rest of Australia.
How hard is it to switch from my current bookkeeper?
Not very hard. We ethically hand over the necessary documents, handle software conversions easily, and make sure the transition is seamless.
Is there a minimum contract?
No — our standard plans are month to month. For limited-time offers there will be a 6-month minimum, and if your plan includes tax it can be negotiated; generally we look for a year commitment when tax is bundled.
What happens if I'm not happy?
If you're not happy, let's stay in contact and work it out. Our plans are not fixed unless we have negotiated a company/business tax arrangement or other benefits that have already been used.
How long does onboarding take?
Onboarding takes 3–4 weeks to make sure we ethically cross over from your previous providers. If you're new, we set you up completely and organise time with you to go over any access or bank feed issues and the practices you can follow to help us keep your books great.
