Frequently Asked Questions About Bookkeeping

We’ve answered the most common questions our clients ask about managing their books.

How long do I need to keep business records in Australia?

Answer:

The ATO generally requires business records to be kept for at least five years from the date you lodge your tax return. Employment and payroll records often need to be kept for seven years. At Love Bookkeeping, we ensure your records are managed and archived in line with these requirements — so you're always audit-ready.
