With little bookkeeping experience I found it all very daunting. Sally quickly put my mind at easy. I find Sally refreshingly easy to speak with and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of our bookkeeping needs. Sally has a way of explaining things which made it all easy to understand. It has been a wonderful experience and privilege to work with Sally, and I would definitely recommend her services.<\/q><\/p>\r\n<h4>Leanne Williams<\/h4>\r\n<span class=\"position\">Darren Williams A1 Electrical<\/span>\r\n<\/div>\r\n            <\/div><\/div><span class=\"cycle-pager\"><\/span><\/div>    \r\n\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<script>\r\n(function($) {\r\n$('.testimonials .cycle-slideshow').attr('data-cycle-slides', '> div');\r\n})( jQuery );\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-undefined uagb-block-9fd532cb\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-9d52f348     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<embed\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Ballarat%20VIC&#038;z=12&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"300\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/embed>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving clients in Ballarat and surrounding areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul id=\"block-ee5dfb97-8eb6-4b60-a19a-66bd8f532c79\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3355 Wendouree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3356 Sebastopol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3357 Buninyong<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3350 Mt Clear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3352 Mt Helen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3350 Ballarat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3352 Cardigan Village<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul id=\"block-ed9276aa-07c2-4d0b-97a4-1109ecf65163\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3351 Newtown<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3363 Creswick<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3373 Beaufort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>370 Clunes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3333 Meredith<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3364 Allendale<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3360 Linton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul id=\"block-a815ab0b-32ea-4365-b726-ddc4952f0264\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3330 Rokewood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3361 Skipton<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3334 Mount Doran<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3329 Shelford<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3378 Tatyoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3375 Buangor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-image uagb-block-17e89882 home-contact\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\">Contact us for a free 1 hour initial consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Book an appointment using our online system or call us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button home-btn\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclassaccounts.com\/ballarat\/contact\/\" rel=\"\">Book a free consultation<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":336,"featured_media":231,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_eb_attr":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Accredited Bookkeeping Services in Ballarat \u2013 First Class Accounts<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bookkeeping Services in Ballarat you can trust.
