Ascend Solutions

Ascend Solutions is a CPA-led accounting and outsourced finance provider based in Canberra. Its services include bookkeeping, payroll, BAS agent work, ASIC-related administration, accounting software and virtual CFO support. The team works with platforms including Xero, QuickBooks and MYOB and supports trades, healthcare and ecommerce businesses with services tailored to their operations. Remote collaboration and defined service packages allow clients to use selected finance functions without employing an entire internal team. Its industry work covers ecommerce, healthcare and trades, where transaction volume and payroll patterns can differ significantly. Defined packages and remote collaboration allow a business to engage the firm for selected functions and adjust the arrangement over time.

Service packages can be matched to a company's operating needs and reviewed as transaction volumes or staffing change. Some clients may need selected tasks handled externally, while others may want broader reporting and virtual CFO support. By agreeing responsibilities and using remote collaboration, the practice can complement an internal team without requiring every business to adopt the same arrangement.
