Outsource SAASU Accounting Services
What Are Outsourced SAASU Accounting Services?
Australian retail and e-commerce businesses using SAASU face a unique challenge: their accounting needs to stay in sync with their inventory, POS terminals, and online sales channels simultaneously. When these systems fall out of sync, the financial reports become unreliable and the BAS figures start to drift.
SAASU is an API-first Australian accounting platform with built-in inventory management and POS integration. Maximising those capabilities requires someone who understands both the accounting and the integration layer connecting your business systems - and keeps them running in sync.
Cred Books manages your SAASU account end-to-end, from BAS lodgement and STP payroll to inventory reconciliation and API integration maintenance. Our Outsourced Accounting Services keep your SAASU data accurate across every connected system.
What is SAASU Accounting Software?
SAASU is an Australian cloud-native accounting platform built for small and medium-sized businesses. It is known for its open API, strong inventory and POS integration, and built-in Australian compliance tools including BAS preparation and Single Touch Payroll (STP).
Key features of SAASU include:
- Automated bank feeds and bank reconciliation
- BAS preparation and ATO lodgement
- Single Touch Payroll (STP) compliance
- Inventory management with real-time stock tracking
- Point-of-sale (POS) integration
- Financial reporting: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow
- Open API for custom integrations with 500+ apps via Zapier
Cred Books manages fully outsourced SAASU accounting so you benefit from all these features without needing to manage compliance or learn the platform yourself.
