More time serving clients. Less time on admin
Whether you run a solo service business or a growing team, Cotchy keeps your bookkeeping, accounting and tax organised, so you can spend more time delivering great work and less time on the back office.
Trusted by businesses that sell time and expertise.
Service businesses run on billable hours, project timelines and client relationships.
You’re managing invoicing, cash flow, staff or contractors and client expectations, all while trying to keep on top of BAS, super and tax.
Cotchy brings the financial side of your service 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, get paid on time and grow with confidence.
Built for the way service businesses work.
Stay on top of your numbers
Understand cash flow, project profitability 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 pricing and cash flow decisions.
Spend more time with clients
We manage the bookkeeping, invoicing follow-up and compliance so you can focus on delivering your service instead of managing admin.
Financial clarity creates better service businesses.
Service businesses rely on consistent cash flow and knowing which work is actually worth doing.
Whether you’re deciding to raise your rates, hire another team member, take on a bigger client or change your billing model, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with service-based businesses?
Yes. Cotchy works with a wide range of Australian service businesses, from solo operators to growing teams. We tailor our bookkeeping and accounting services to suit how your business bills and operates.
Can you help us get paid faster?
Yes. We help set up clear invoicing processes and can advise on how you can track outstanding invoices, so cash keeps moving through the business.
Can Cotchy help us understand which work is actually profitable?
Yes. We provide reporting that helps you understand profitability by client, project or service line, so you know where to focus.
We already have a bookkeeper. Can you just do our accounting and tax?
We recommend having your bookkeeping, accounting and tax managed together under one roof at Cotchy. It removes the need for back and forth between separate providers, keeps everyone on the same page, and helps ensure your bookkeeping and accounting are handled efficiently and on time. If you need to keep your existing bookkeeper, we can discuss this with you to see what arrangement would work best.
Can you support businesses that use contractors or subcontractors?
Yes. Our services scale with your business, including advice for contractor payments and related reporting obligations.
Do you only work with Melbourne businesses?
No. While Cotchy is proudly Australian-owned and Melbourne-based, we support service-based businesses across Australia using secure cloud accounting software and online collaboration.
Let's simplify the financial side of your service business.
