Running a cleaning business takes serious hustle. Between quoting jobs, managing a team, juggling schedules, and keeping customers happy, the financial side of
things often ends up last on the to-do list. We get it, you’re flat out!
But here’s the thing: without solid bookkeeping, it’s really hard to know if all that hard work is actually paying off.
At Mackenzie Group, we work closely with cleaning business owners just like you—so we know the ins and outs of how your industry works. And that means we don’t just “do your books”, we help you build a stronger, more profitable business.
Here’s why working with a bookkeeper who gets your industry makes such a difference.
1. We Understand How You Get Paid
Cleaning businesses often don’t follow the usual income model. Maybe you charge per job, maybe you work on contracts, or maybe your week is a mix of regulars and one-offs.
We know how to track your income properly and spot the patterns, so you can plan ahead, even during quieter months or when cancellations throw a spanner in the works.
2. We Know the Costs You’re Dealing With
Cleaning businesses have a lot of moving parts, staff wages, super, fuel, equipment, cleaning supplies, insurance…the list goes on.
We often see business owners missing out on legit deductions or underestimating how much these everyday expenses add up. Because we work with cleaners regularly, we know what to look out for, and how to make sure everything’s claimed properly.
3. We’ll Keep You On Track with the ATO
Nobody wants a surprise BAS bill or late super payment. We’ll keep you in the loop with all your tax and payroll obligations, make sure your books are in good shape, and help you stay compliant without the last-minute panic.
And if you ever need to ask a question or run something by us, we’re just a phone call or message away.
4. We Help You See What’s Actually Going On
You might be booking loads of work but still wondering, “Where’s the money going?”
We don’t just crunch numbers—we help you understand them. If you’re undercharging, overstaffing, or spending too much on certain supplies, we’ll help you spot it and make changes that actually boost your bottom line.
5. No Fluff, No Jargon—Just Straightforward Advice
We keep it simple and practical. Whether it’s helping you figure out if you can afford to hire someone new or showing you how to budget for tax time, our goal is to make your numbers work for you—not the other way around.
