You started a business to do the work. We run everything else.
Lockhart Industries is the back office behind a portfolio of small businesses. Bookkeeping, payroll, structures, licensing, insurance, marketing and tenders. The time-consuming jobs that keep a business running, handled, so the owners can get back to what they are good at.
Most small business owners are brilliant at one thing, and buried under everything else.
The trade, the service, the product. That is the bit you got into business for. Then come the BAS deadlines, the payroll runs, the insurance renewals, the licence that needs updating, the website that never quite gets built and the tender that closes on Friday.
Lockhart takes the lot. We sit behind your business and run the operations end to end, so the wheels keep turning without you having to think about them. One person, across the whole thing, who already knows how your business works.

We sit down
We work out what is eating your time and where things are slipping, then map what the back office actually needs to cover.
We take it over
Access set up, systems tidied, deadlines into the calendar. The handover is on us, not on you.
It just runs
You stay in the loop on what matters and free of the rest. One contact, one register, everything moving.
From a single sole trader to a multi-entity group, the back office is the same job done well.
Lockhart runs the back office for a tight portfolio of Western Australian businesses we know inside out. A multi-entity emergency response technology group, a specialised crane trucking operation, and a landscaping company delivering high-end, full-scope projects. Different trades, same job done well. If it is taking your time and it is not the reason you went into business, it belongs with us.
Hand us the back office.
