Choosing a BAS agent or bookkeeper

  1. Decide what you need. Bookkeeping only, BAS lodgement, payroll and STP, or a catch-up of overdue work. Our guide to hiring a bookkeeper or BAS agent walks through it.
  2. Send the same brief to two or three practices. Include your software, monthly transactions, staff numbers and deadlines. Use the enquiry checklist.
  3. Compare whole quotes. Separate set-up, monthly work, BAS lodgement and extras with the fees guide.
  4. Check the registration on the TPB register and make sure the registered name matches your engagement letter.

Common questions

How many registered BAS agents are in Melbourne?

3,157 BAS-agent registrations list a location in Greater Melbourne in the Tax Practitioners Board register snapshot of 19 October 2026, across 420 suburbs and towns. The count includes individuals and businesses, and a practice can hold more than one registration.

What’s the difference between a bookkeeper and a BAS agent?

A bookkeeper keeps your records. A registered BAS agent can also prepare and lodge your BAS and give advice about GST, PAYG withholding and other BAS provisions for a fee. Anyone charging for those BAS services must be registered with the Tax Practitioners Board. See what a BAS agent does and BAS agent vs tax agent.

Do I need a BAS agent in Melbourne, or can I work with one remotely?

Many agents work online and serve clients anywhere in Australia, so a local practice isn’t required. A local agent can suit you if you want face-to-face meetings or industry knowledge of your area. Ask each practice how they share files, meet and approve lodgements.

How much does a BAS agent cost in Melbourne?

We don’t have verified local fee data. Fees depend on transaction volume, software, payroll and any catch-up work more than location. Our BAS-agent fees guide shows how to compare quotes, and the enquiry checklist helps you get comparable ones.

How do I check that an agent is registered?

Search the agent’s name or registration number on the TPB public register and check the status, any conditions and that the name matches your quote. Our guide explains how to check BAS-agent registration.
