Running a plumbing business isn’t just about pipes and call-outs — it’s about keeping the numbers flowing too. At Elite Plus Accounting, we take the stress out of bookkeeping, payroll, and reporting so you can stay focused on the jobs that matter.
Plumbing isn’t only about pipes and pressure valves — it’s about making sure the money side doesn’t spring a leak. From invoices and payroll to BAS and cash flow, the paperwork can build up before you know it.
At Elite Plus Accounting, we understand the challenges plumbers face: job-based income, parts and equipment expenses, unpredictable call-outs, and the ups and downs of seasonal demand. We’ve built bookkeeping systems designed for tradies that make it simple to stay compliant and profitable.
Our cloud-based solutions let you:
Whether you’re working solo or running a fleet of vans, we’ll keep your numbers flowing smoothly so you can stay on the tools — and still grow your business with confidence.
Plumbing businesses deal with more than blocked drains and burst pipes — you also juggle invoices, supplier accounts, payroll, and the never-ending BAS deadlines. Without the right financial systems, it’s easy to feel like the paperwork is leaking time and money.
That’s why plumbers across Australia trust Elite Plus Accounting:
With cloud-based tools, you can see at a glance how your jobs are tracking, what’s outstanding, and where you’re making the best margins.
Our team specialises in working with tradies, so we understand project-based income, urgent call-outs, and the need to keep material costs under control.
We help you manage slow-paying clients, big upfront purchases, and seasonal ups and downs, so you’re never caught short.
BAS, GST, super, payroll — we take care of the lot, so you can get back to running your business instead of worrying about the ATO.
At Elite Plus Accounting, we support plumbing businesses of all sizes across Australia and New Zealand.
Whether you’re unblocking drains, installing hot water systems, or running multiple crews across the city, we’ll keep your finances watertight so your business can keep flowing.
We simplify your books so you can spend more time on the tools and less time chasing paperwork.
We help you track job profitability, manage payroll for apprentices and staff, and keep on top of supplier bills.
With tailored reporting and Virtual CFO insights, we give you the clarity to expand your fleet, take on larger projects, and manage cash flow with confidence.
The Challenge
A family-run plumbing business in Melbourne had plenty of work coming in, but the owner struggled to keep track of profitability. Invoices were often delayed, apprentices’ timesheets were messy, and supplier bills piled up faster than payments arrived. Cash flow was always tight, and the owner felt like he was “working hard but never seeing the money.
