BridgeBooks runs the day-to-day finance work for growing businesses and works quietly behind accounting firms as white-label capacity. Every reconciliation is reviewed by an ICAI-qualified finance controller, every close follows a written checklist, and you always know what is done and what is open.
Run an accounting practice? See how white-label works.
You are about to hire a bookkeeper or staff accountant, or the one you have is stretched. You want numbers you trust every month without managing a finance team.
Your clients are growing faster than you can hire. We do the production work under your name so your team can review, advise and file, especially ahead of year-end and tax season.
We work inside your existing systems. Nothing moves to a tool you don't control.
Bank, card and payment-platform feeds coded and matched weekly, twice weekly or every business day depending on your plan, with each account reconciled to its statement every month.
QBO · Xero · Zoho Books · Hubdoc · DextBills captured and coded, supplier statements reconciled, payments applied, debtor ageing kept current with collection notes.
Bill.com · Ramp · Xero · QBOAccruals, prepayments and clearing accounts closed to the T+7 calendar, then a management pack with variances explained in plain words.
Close checklist · Variance notesMonths or years of unreconciled books brought current at a fixed scope, ready for your tax filing, investor or lender.
Fixed scope · Agreed deadlineShopify, Stripe and Amazon payouts split into gross sales, fees, refunds and tax, so gross margin in your books matches reality.
Shopify · Stripe · Amazon · A2XTax clearing accounts reconciled and return workpapers prepared for your tax agent or CPA to review and file.
Prepared for review · Filed by your agentFor owners of New Zealand businesses with 5 to 50 staff, especially in trades, professional services and e-commerce, who want clean books without hiring a bookkeeper. We work alongside your existing accountant, who keeps filing your GST and tax.
In Australia? The same Xero workflow applies, for bookkeeping and reconciliations only. BAS, payroll and tax stay with your registered BAS or tax agent.
An in-house bookkeeper can be excellent. The risk is that everything depends on them alone: their review, their holidays, their notice period. Here is how the two compare.
| What matters | In-house bookkeeper | BridgeBooks |
|---|---|---|
| Review | Work is usually checked by nobody until year-end, when your CPA finds the problems. | Every close reviewed by an ICAI-qualified finance controller before it reaches you. |
| Close timing | Depends on the person's workload. Many small teams close three weeks after month-end. | T+7 business days, written into the service agreement. |
| Continuity | Leave, sickness or resignation stops the books. Knowledge leaves with the person. | Documented procedures for your file, so work carries on without gaps. |
| Time to start | Weeks of recruiting, then onboarding and training. | Audit in 24 hours. Onboarding plan agreed in the first call. |
| Breadth | One person's experience of one or two systems. | Cross-system work across QBO, Xero and Zoho, plus e-commerce and payments platforms. |
| Your time | You manage, review and cover for them. | You read a monthly pack and answer a short list of questions. |
We are the dependable way to get books your accountant, your bank and your board can rely on.
Good junior bookkeepers are hard to hire, and they are hardest to find just before year-end and tax season. We take on the production work so your team can spend its hours on review, advice and filing, which is where your margin is.
You keep the client relationshipWe never contact your clients unless you ask us to. No co-branding, no BridgeBooks name on deliverables.
We work in your systemsYour practice software, your file structure, your checklists. We adapt to how your firm already works.
You review and sign offWe prepare, you approve. Filing and client advice stay with your firm.
Start with one client fileA pilot on a single file shows you our quality before you send more. No lock-in.
Capacity for peak seasonYear-end, tax season and corporate tax deadlines without temporary hires.
Data protection in writingNDA, and a data processing agreement with standard contractual clauses for EU and UK-GDPR clients, Privacy Act clauses for New Zealand, and PIPEDA terms for Canada.
Small practices that do bookkeeping for their clients, or turn it away, and need capacity before year-end without hiring juniors. Calls in your afternoon.
Firms of 1 to 5 partners that want clients' books reconciled and tax-ready before January. We work asynchronously, with calls by appointment.
You advise the leadership team. We deliver the reconciled close pack your advice depends on, every month.
We sign your NDA or send ours. You give view-only access to your accounting file. Nothing can be changed.
A written scorecard of what is reconciled, what isn't, and what it means for your next filing or report.
Any backlog is brought current at a fixed price and deadline before monthly work begins.
Ongoing bookkeeping and the T+7 close, for one fixed monthly fee. Thirty days' notice to stop.
Most businesses find at least one balance that hasn't been reconciled in months. The audit shows you where, and what it is likely to affect.
We follow each country's rules on who can do what. Where a task needs a local licence, we prepare the work and your registered professional signs or files.

bridgebooks.netBridgeBooks is founder-led. Krishna Sikchi, ICAI-qualified and a working finance controller, reviews every file and every close. As the practice grows, any team member works to the same written procedures for your file, and the review step does not change.
We sign an NDA before any access, and a data processing agreement where your jurisdiction requires one. Access is granted through your software's own user invites with multi-factor authentication, starts read-only, and is removed the day an engagement ends. Your data stays in your systems.
A fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volume, number of accounts and entities, and the reporting you need. We quote after the Book Health Audit, when we can see the actual work. We don't bill by the hour, so you won't get surprise invoices.
No. We prepare clean books and workpapers so your CPA, chartered accountant or registered tax agent can review and file quickly. In Australia we provide bookkeeping only.
Only if you want them to. White-label work goes out under your firm's name and we never contact your clients directly.
No long-term lock-in. Monthly engagements run on 30 days' notice, and firms can start with a single client file as a pilot.
That is common and fixable. The audit tells you how far behind things are, and we quote a fixed-scope cleanup with a deadline before monthly work starts.
Tell us a little about your books. We reply within one business day with an NDA and simple instructions for read-only access.
Calls: New Zealand and Australian afternoons. US by appointment.
