About Paper Trail Consulting
Practical bookkeeping and business systems for real-world businesses.
PaperTrail Consulting was created to help small and regional businesses take control of their finances with confidence, clarity, and simple systems that actually work in the real world.
Based in regional Western Australia and working primarily online, we support clients across WA and Australia with accurate bookkeeping, practical business systems, and ongoing support tailored to their industry and stage of growth.
Our Story
PaperTrail Consulting was born from hands-on bookkeeping and business admin experience — including 15 years across agricultural, construction, hospitality, and forestry businesses, where accurate numbers and clear systems genuinely matter.
With a background in farming, hospitality, construction, not-for-profit, and small business administration, we understand the pressures business owners face — long hours, tight margins, regulatory requirements, and the constant juggle between work and life.
We saw first-hand how messy books, late reconciliations, and disorganised records create unnecessary stress and cost businesses money.
PaperTrail Consulting was established to change that — with reliable bookkeeping and clean, practical systems that make financial management simpler, clearer, and more empowering for business owners.
What We Do
We provide:
- Professional bookkeeping and reconciliations
- Ongoing management reporting and BAS-ready record keeping (worked alongside your accountant/BAS agent)
- Systems setup and software support
- Paperless workflow design
- Business process improvement
- Ongoing consulting and training
Our focus is not just on “doing the books”, but on building sustainable systems that save time, improve accuracy, and support better business decisions.
