What Clients Say
Every client deals directly with Antoinette — not a junior, not a shared inbox, not someone overseas.
Who We Work With
ALC works with businesses of all sizes — from sole traders to growing companies and accounting firms outsourcing their bookkeeping work.
Electricians, plumbers, builders, and contractors across Melbourne and Geelong. Job costing, subcontractor payments, and BAS lodgement handled correctly.
Cafés, restaurants, and retail businesses. High-volume transactions, point-of-sale reconciliations, and payroll for teams of all sizes.
Consultants, designers, marketing agencies, and legal practices. Clean books that reflect the actual state of the business — not last quarter's chaos.
Community organisations, charities, and associations across Melbourne and Geelong. Bookkeeping that works within funding constraints and grant reporting requirements.
ABN holders across Melbourne and Geelong who want accurate books without the overhead of a full bookkeeper on staff. Monthly, quarterly, or EOFY packages.
Melbourne accounting practices who outsource client bookkeeping work to ALC. White-label bookkeeping delivered on time, every time.
Why Clients Stay
Antoinette knows who you are, what you run, and what your numbers should look like. When something looks off, she notices. When you call, she picks up. That's not a policy — it's how the practice works.
Not just someone who keeps books — legally authorised to prepare and lodge BAS with the ATO on your behalf. Most clients only discover why that distinction matters when something goes wrong.
Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, SAP, and Accrivia. If you switch platforms, it's not a disruption. Most bookkeepers know one well — Antoinette has been across all of them for over a decade.
14 years working with local businesses across Melbourne, Geelong, and the Bellarine Peninsula. She knows Victorian payroll obligations, seasonal BAS patterns, and what EOFY looks like for a tradie versus a café owner.

"I started ALC because businesses in Melbourne and Geelong deserved a bookkeeper who actually understood their world — not just their spreadsheets." — Antoinette Crouch, Principal & Registered BAS Agent
