Accounting for people who'd rather be doing literally anything else.

Tax, bookkeeping, and BAS — sorted by a real human. No jargon. Just straightforward numbers.

Yvette, founder of Backline Accounting

The short version

I'm Yvette. I do the numbers so you can do your thing.

I run Backline Accounting out of a converted shipping container at Merivale Studios — an arts precinct in Brisbane full of musicians, makers, and people who'd rather be creating than staring at spreadsheets.

My roots are in the arts — but I work with all sorts. Builders, designers, real estate agents, tradies, small business owners. If you want straightforward accounting from someone who actually gets how your work works, we'll get along fine.

You won't find a boardroom here. Just good systems, straight answers, and someone who genuinely gives a damn about getting your numbers right.

What I actually do

Practical help with the stuff that matters.

Tax Returns

Individual & business

Whether you're a sole trader, freelancer, or running a company — I'll sort your return properly and make sure you're not leaving money on the table.

Bookkeeping

Monthly or quarterly

I'll keep your books clean and up to date so you actually know where your money's going. No jargon, no mess.

BAS, GST & PAYG

Registration & lodgement

Whether you need to register for GST or just want someone to handle the BAS lodgements — I'll sort the prep, the numbers, and keep the ATO happy.

Xero Setup & Training

Silver Partner

I'll get you set up on Xero, show you the ropes, and make sure you actually feel confident using it — not just staring at a dashboard wondering what it all means.

Real talk

Don't just take my word for it.

The financial side of being an artist can be overwhelming and I'm so glad I don't have to manage that alone.

Rae Baskerville — Photographer

My business has grown so much over the last few years and having Backline on board has been essential.
