Keep your clients moving while we keep your numbers in line.

More time for clients. Less time on admin.

Whether you’re an architect, consultant, law firm, marketing agency, engineer or other professional service business, Cotchy keeps your bookkeeping, accounting and tax organised – so you can spend more time delivering exceptional work and less time chasing paperwork.

Trusted by businesses that sell expertise, not products.

Professional service businesses run differently.

You’re managing projects, staff utilisation, retainers, invoices, deadlines and client expectations – all while trying to keep on top of bookkeeping, BAS, tax and compliance.

Cotchy brings the financial side of your business together in one place. From bookkeeping and reporting to tax planning and business advisory, we provide practical financial support that helps you stay organised, make informed decisions and confidently grow your business.

Built for the way professional businesses work.

Stay on top of your numbers

Understand profitability, cash flow and business performance with accurate reporting that’s easy to understand and available when you need it.

Advice beyond compliance

Your accountant should do more than prepare tax returns. We provide proactive advice to help you make smarter financial decisions throughout the year.

Spend more time with clients

We manage the bookkeeping, reporting and compliance so you can focus on delivering exceptional service instead of managing administration.

Financial clarity creates better businesses.

Professional service businesses rely on good decisions.

Whether you’re deciding when to hire another employee, increase your fees, invest in new software or expand into new markets, having accurate financial information makes every decision easier.

Cotchy doesn’t simply prepare reports – we help you understand what those reports mean and how they can support your business goals.
