Reckon for BPO business
What Is Reckon for BPO business Accounting?
Reckon for BPO business accounting means running your service agency books in Reckon, with jobs, categories and custom fields for each client contract and service line. Since 2011, Cred Books has paired BPO agencies, contact centers, managed service providers and offshore delivery hubs across Australia, New Zealand and global markets with a Reckon Accredited Partner and a dedicated Reckon certified accountant.
We set up Reckon One, Reckon Accounts Hosted or Reckon Accounts Desktop for BPO bookkeeping, client gross margins, seat costing, multi currency invoices and foreign exchange gains and losses, then handle every BAS lodgement. Need another sector? We can also outsource Reckon accounting services.
Client margins nobody can see and currency swings buried in the ledger are how service agency books break. When you move your BPO accounting services to Cred Books, we fix them at the source.
How Reckon Handles Client Margins, Currencies and Licence Costs
We run milestone revenue recognition, allocate shift level overheads, track SLA penalties, treat GST free exports correctly, and prepare audit proof workpapers for cross border compliance.
We connect Reckon with ConnectWise, Harvest, Toggl, Zendesk and ServiceNow, so time entries, client billing, expenses and payroll run through one workflow.
What our Reckon setup includes:
- Client contract and service line profit and loss reporting in Reckon
- Multi currency invoicing with realised and unrealised exchange entries
- Seat, shift and licence cost allocation by client
- Integration with ConnectWise, Harvest, Toggl and Zendesk

Invoices in several currencies are raised at agreed rates, with foreign exchange gains and losses recorded monthly. This work sits within our Outsource Account Reconciliation Services for the BPO Sector.
Seat and Shift Costing
Wages, workstations and supervision are allocated to clients by seat and shift, so utilisation drives pricing.
Milestone Revenue Recognition
Fixed fee and milestone projects recognise revenue as work is delivered, with deferred income reported clearly.
