Quinlan Consulting deliver a range of business services specialising in Bookkeeping,
administration, Business Development, and Training. As the principal business owner
Tom Quinlan is fully qualified in Accounting (CPA) and Information Systems and holds
an MBA. He employs a ‘hands-on’ approach to supplying outstanding services to small
and medium businesses.
The advantages of Quinlan Consulting Team Pty Ltd (QCT) over traditional recruitment
and consulting businesses are:
Quality, skills and attitude. We personally test most consultants using a 1.5 hour
exam. Having recruited for 10+ years we are able to match skills to job
requirements. From training courses we identify leading participants who have
communications skills, technical accounting and systems ability.
Extremely competitive rates. So competitive, we publish them! (see last page)
We supply excellent consultants that can source information from our experts as
required (no extra cost to you).
Peace of mind. Tom offers to personally audits BAS figures to eliminate any
errant transactions. When you need Accounting guidance a network of
professional consultants is on call to help.
Continuity of service. We aim to place the same consultant member in your
business. We keep your business running smoothly whilst the Bookkeeper takes
leave by offering other QCT consultants to backfill the role.
Management reporting information. We understand that you are good at what
you do and may not understand all Accounting terminology. We supply
Management reports, with lots of graphs that real people can read!
This table compares options of recruiting through a Recruitment Agency (on employment
basis), recruiting directly yourself and using the benefits of our QCT model.

VISION
To provide exceptional small and medium sized Business with Bookkeeping, Administration and Management Accounting solutions.
MISSION
To provide a robust accounts service.
To increase the visibility of your businesses performance, whilst reducing end of year tax accounting costs.
To offer a group of highly accredited professional consultants with a customer focused attitude.
BACKGROUND
Quinlan Consulting was incorporated in 2007 offering predominately bookkeeping support, choosing to specialise in small to medium software solutions such as MYOB and QuickBooks.
Quinlan Consulting experienced strong growth on the back of client referrals. We have expanded the Bookkeeping support to include office administration, Management Accounting, strategic consulting and delivery of training.
The future holds aggressive expansion as we continue to drive growth through customer satisfaction and thus referral work.
SERVICES OFFERED
Quinlan Consulting reduces the stress of running a business. Offering a comprehensive business and Bookkeeper service we grow your business while assisting with keeping the books accurate.
We implement systems and processes allowing you to monitor, enhance, and improve your bottom line. We specialise in the following areas:
Bookkeeping
Our Bookkeeping service aids business owners understand and process day-to-day Accounting issues. Your investment offers major saving on your end of year tax bill as you pay bookkeeping rates for your accounts work leaving your Tax Accountant doing just tax work.
Our Bookkeeping service offers tasks such as: Processing day-to-day transactions.
Bank, credit card and loan reconciliations to pick up all deductions. Completion of BAS, Super, Workcover, Group Certificates
Profit & loss and cash flow review and reporting areas of excessive spending. While our Bookkeepers can perform all tasks we encourage and train the business owners to understand Accounts and importantly the Management reports.
Tax Assistance
Whilst Quinlan Consulting Team offers BAS services we do not complete end of year tax returns. We are not Tax Accountants. Our strength is in preparing your financial reports to ‘Profit and Loss’ and ‘Balance Sheet’ stage. We then work with your external tax accountant (we can recommend if you do not have one or wish to change) by providing all reports electronically, a checklist of points they need to take additional consideration of that are specific to you, answer any technical questions they have, communicate back to you, in plain English!, any changes they have made and enter end of year adjustment journals into your accounting system.
Business Development
Our Business Development Service presents small and medium sized business access to modern business management trends employed by large successful organisations, so you can systematically guide your business to operational and financial success.
Topics covered include:
SWOT Analysis
Key Performance Indicators
Target Market
Asset Utililisation Competitor Profiles Financial Analysis
Market Trends
Cash Flow projections
Organisational Structure review Business Process Mapping
Each step is done in conjunction with the business owners. Post implementation reviews are performed to analysis KPI's and financial performance.

Consultants are sourced for the external market as subcontractors and we have some of our own staff. We charge you via our company for services provided. This reduces the need for you to pay employment costs associated with our work, such as PAYG, Workcover, Superannuation, Payroll tax, holiday pay, and sick pay. We are happy to charge hourly rates or fixed prices for work assignments.
