About the business

Express Plumbing is renowned as the go-to for businesses and individuals in need of plumbing and gas services in Bunbury. Owned by Wayne Mangini, he’s built a reputable name for Express Plumbing since the business first started in 1999.

Wayne has a long history in the industry, working as a plumber in locations throughout metro and remote  Western Australia. Wayne has seen just about everything when it comes to the plumbing and gas industry.

Express Plumbing has provided services, small and large, for the town of Bunbury and beyond.  From common household problems, commercial developments to servicing government contracts involving over 5000 homes across the South West region and beyond. 

Wayne knew it was crucial to refine the accounting and bookkeeping processes within the organisation to move forward and grow. Speaking with an ANZ banker, they recommended Bunbury’s own Breathe Accounting. And, he hasn’t looked back since.

Since the businesses inception in 1999 to working with Breathe Accounting from 2019, the results for Express Plumbing have been transformative.

The Problem 

"In 2018, I had come to a place, where we wanted to take things to a different place, and didn't really know how to do it."

Before working with Breathe Accounting, it was brought to Wayne’s attention that Express Plumbing’s accounting practices could be optimised. Not knowing the best way to do it, Wayne took up the recommendation of Breathe Accounting. His accounting has never been the same.

Wayne met with Kiko at Breathe Accounting and instantly knew he was in capable hands. The team went through everything related to the business to rebuild Express Plumbing’s accounting position. Confidently and calmly, Breathe Accounting went right back to the beginning and rebuilt a complete picture of the organisation.

“Breathe Accounting gave us a better understanding of our business, everything is so much more transparent now.”

The Solution

"We changed the operating systems to Xero which is a way more transparent way of doing things. We integrated self-managed super and also worked on the accounting side of things. It was a real one-stop shop for us."

Breathe Accounting has introduced Wayne and the team at Express Plumbing to a streamlined accounting and bookkeeping system. From digitalising all of their physical receipts, moving operating systems from Myob to Xero, cleaning up the backend, automating processes where possible, automatic super payments and creating user-friendly platforms for all workers to interact with. 

“Every problem we have, get solved quicker and better than they have been. Our performance over the last years have been less stressful and much more manageable.”

Express Plumbing slowly but surely had all of their accounting practices reorganised by Breathe Accounting. Everything was made clearer for Wayne, removing stress entirely from bookkeeping and finances so he could focus on his business.

"We’re spending less time worrying about stuff that we’ve already fixed and it’s allowing us to look forward a bit more. Now, with Breathe Accounting, we feel ready."

The Results

“Every problem we have, get solved quicker and better than they have been. Our performance over the last years have been less stressful and much more manageable."

Comparing Express Plumbing’s position before 2019, to now – their accounting practices are night and day different. Today, everything runs like clockwork, and any issues, can be fixed quicker and better. With plans to continue to expand and grow, Wayne feels financially confident and in control with the team of Breath accountants behind him.

“They’re super approachable, reliable, and knowledgeable. I would 100% recommend Breathe Accounting."
