Figureworks Bookkeeping was founded in 1996 by Ruth Felmingham, whose passion for numbers and meticulous attention to detail laid the foundation for our trusted bookkeeping practice. From humble beginnings serving small local businesses, Figureworks has grown into a family-run team dedicated to providing professional, personalized bookkeeping services across Australia. With a commitment to accuracy, integrity, and exceptional client care, our story continues today—helping businesses thrive by managing their finances with confidence and clarity.
Before founding Figureworks Bookkeeping in 1993, Ruth Felmingham worked at an accounting firm where she prepared End Year Financial Reports and Tax Returns. This invaluable experience taught Ruth exactly how accountants like books to be kept—accurately, neatly, and efficiently. This foundation is what gives Figureworks its edge over other bookkeeping services and is at the core of everything we do.
Starting as a small bookkeeping service for local businesses, Ruth quickly gained a reputation for high-quality, dependable service. As her client base grew, so did her vision for Figureworks.
Over the years, Ruth built and trained a dedicated team to manage the increasing workload, ensuring that the personal, high-quality service remained at the heart of the business. Today, Figureworks is a family-run company, with Ruth’s children, Chloe and Cody, joining the team and continuing the family tradition of excellence in bookkeeping.
What started as a local operation has now expanded into a nationwide business. With a team spread across Australia, and the help of today’s technology, we are able to service clients all over the country, as well as international companies doing business in Australia.
Whether you’re a small business or a large corporation, our team is ready to assist you with your financial needs.
Figureworks Bookkeeping has been processing and lodging Business Activity Statements (BAS) since they were introduced in 2000. Over the years, we’ve gained the experience and skills that have made us known in the industry for our expertise in this field.

Ruth at Figureworks Bookkeeping has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to my bookkeeping and lodging my Quarterly BAS.

Her advice has been invaluable—I’ve learned so much from her guidance, which has helped me improve my processes and stay on top of everything. I can’t recommend Ruth highly enough for anyone looking for reliable, professional, and knowledgeable support. Thanks, Ruth! 🙌
