Beam Bookkeeping has been named a finalist in the Accounting and Bookkeeping Services category of the 2026 Australian Small Business Champion Awards. The national recognition follows a period of growth for the firm, which has expanded its footprint across New South Wales since its establishment in 2021.
Led by Managing Director, Katie McCool, the business has grown into a multi-location firm with offices in Newcastle, Maitland, the Sydney CBD and Port Stephens. The firm provides outsourced bookkeeping services to a range of industries across Australia, focusing on the integration of automation and internal systems to manage financial data.
Katie said the recognition as a finalist reflects the professional relationships developed between her team and their clients.
“To be named a finalist in the Australian Small Business Champion Awards is a milestone for our team,” Katie said.
“Supporting Australian businesses to manage their finances with confidence is at the heart of our operations, and it is rewarding to see that work recognised at a national level.”
The firm’s approach involves working as a functional extension of a client’s internal team rather than providing a purely transactional service. By partnering with business owners and advisers, the firm aims to ensure financial information is structured to support informed decision-making.
Beam Bookkeeping has focused on building an internal culture that supports its service delivery. This relationship-driven model is designed to ensure clients have access to professionals who understand their specific operations and provide consistent financial guidance.
The winners of the 2026 Australian Small Business Champion Awards will be announced at a presentation evening at The Star Sydney on 1 May 2026. The awards celebrate the contributions of small businesses to the Australian economy across a diverse range of service and retail sectors.
