We are not a general bookkeeping practice that happens to take trade clients. The work concentrates in construction and the trades, and that concentration is deliberate, because the award structures, job costing and industry schemes in these businesses are where errors cluster.

Trusted Bookkeepers in Melbourne: Making Business Easier
We’ll take the stress out of managing your books
We’re a small business that loves working with other small businesses.
While we work with lots of tradies (we’re very good at solving their problems), we also work with SMEs across all sectors, including:
- Construction (Builders)
- Property Developers
- Tradies
- Professional Services
- Digital Agencies
While we look after books… we ease the pressure in a whole lot of other ways.
Our goal is to make it easier for you to manage your business. We take the time to understand your business.
- Create money systems
- Explain things so you can make better decisions.
- Make sure you comply with EBAs and employment conditions.
- Review your insurances and other big expenses.
- Plan for things like new vehicles, equipment and premises.
- Share tips and tricks
- Help you deal with ‘sticky’ situations.
Who We Are Built For
- Trade businesses. Plumbers, electricians, concreters and HVAC businesses, where job costing and apprentice payroll are the two things that quietly go wrong.
- Builders and construction. Progress claims, retentions and variations, plus the Victorian schemes that only exist in this industry.
- Small business. Owners who want to know whether they are making money and what they owe, without becoming bookkeepers themselves.
What Working With Us Actually Looks Like
No long onboarding project before anything useful happens.
We look at what is there first.
Before changing anything we review the current file, so problems are found rather than inherited silently.
We tell you what we find.
Including the uncomfortable parts. An underpayment found by your bookkeeper is much smaller than one found by a regulator.
Then it becomes routine.
Once the file is right, the cycle runs without drama and you get reporting you can act on.

Engaging the services of Fiona and her team at Navigata365 at the beginning of COVID was the best thing we could have done. Fiona has guided our 2 businesses through some really tough times and has recently helped us set up a 3rd business. She is always on top of deadlines and we never have to worry about a thing. I cannot recommend highly enough.

It is a great pleasure to provide a review of Fiona Battersby and her business Navigata365. We have worked together for approx 5 years and during that time our bookkeeping has been carried out brilliantly. We have benefited from very good advice from Fiona about managing our accounts. It is rare to get a bookkeeping business with the level of service and competence that Fionas staff consistently provide. A big thumbs up from Us!!
