In this blog post, we’ll explore how Balanced Beans has helped two local businesses in the Hunter Valley streamline their financial operations, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: growth and delivering exceptional services to their customers.

From tax compliance to payroll management, discover how our expert support has made a real difference to two local businesses.

Sam’s Sparkling Services

Sam’s Sparkling Services is Hunter Valley based cleaning business specialising in residential and commercial cleaning and domestic cleaning for NDIS participants and DVA clients.

Established in May 2024 by Samantha J, the business originated from her love for helping people. Through their work – especially in domestic NDIS and DVA cleaning – the team at Sam’s Sparkling Services are making a tangible difference to people’s lives.

As a newly established business, Sam immediately recognised the need for a reliable and knowledgeable partner to help navigate the financial complexities particularly around compliance and tax obligations.

“I am not an accountant for a good reason…I hear numbers and my brain turns to mush. So to make sure my business run smoothly and is compliant I turned to people I knew were good with numbers. I’ve known of Balanced Beans for a while and thought they would be the perfect fit for me”.

Balanced Beans helped Sam register and establish her company, takes care of quarterly BAS and income tax returns and provides ongoing support to Sam when she needs it.

Speaking of her experience of working with Balanced Beans Sam said:

“Its been amazing. I know I can reach out with an issue or question and they give me the right advice. I am confident that the books of my business are compliant and correct, which is a huge weight off my mind. Working with Balanced Beans means I can focus on growing my business and providing great service to my client and not having to worry about my books.”

Small Spark Electrical Contractors

Small Spark Electrical are electricians based in Maitland in the NSW Hunter Valley. The team of skilled residential and commercial electricians offer everything from power points and fan installation to switchboard and mains upgrades for industrial clients.

Established in 2015, owner Andrew T was managing all financial obligations in-house while servicing an ever growing client list. When the business expanded and took on his first staff member and the paperwork was getting out of hand, he realised he needed help.

“I reached out to Balanced Beans to help with payroll and to make sure all our incoming and outgoing invoices were getting paid on time. Balanced Beans manage all the Xero reconciliations as well as prepare the books for our Tax Agent for BAS reporting and tax returns.”

Fast forward to 2024 and Andrew feels at ease knowing that his staff are getting paid correctly and his books are in good hands.

“Balanced Beans has been instrumental in reducing the errors in payroll, ensuring any payments we need to make are accounted for and reducing the amount of stress I’m dealing with on a weekly basis.”
