How it works

Three simple steps to calmer books.

  1. A free chat

    A relaxed call or coffee. You tell me about your business and where things are at. No obligation.

  2. Get set up

    I connect to your Xero (or help you move to it), catch up anything that is behind, and we agree on a fee arrangement that suits your business.

  3. Your monthly rhythm

    I reconcile, process and keep your records accurate, working alongside your accountant. You get clear numbers and more time to run your business.

Kind words

What local business owners say.

  • I used to dread the end of every quarter. Now my books are always ready, and my accountant says they have never been tidier.

    [Client name][Café owner, Goolwa]

  • I was eight months behind and embarrassed about it. She sorted the lot in a few weeks and never once made me feel bad.

    [Client name][Builder, Victor Harbor]

  • Having someone local who picks up the phone makes all the difference. She knows our business as well as we do.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Anything else on your mind? Ask me directly; there are no silly questions about money.

How much does it cost?

Every business is different, so my pricing is tailored to you. Depending on what you need, that might be an hourly rate or a fixed monthly fee. After our free chat I will recommend what suits you best, with no surprises.

Which software do you use?

Xero, and only Xero. Working in one system every day means I know it inside out, and I believe it is by far the best program for small business. If you are not on Xero yet, I can help you make the move.

Do I still need an accountant?

Yes, and a great accountant is invaluable. I keep your books accurate and up to date all year; your accountant makes sure all your reporting obligations are met and helps you keep as much of your hard-earned money as possible. With your approval, I liaise with them directly so everything runs smoothly.

Can you lodge my BAS?

I am working towards registration as a BAS agent. In the meantime I get your books reconciled and BAS-ready, and your accountant or registered BAS agent reviews and lodges it.

I'm behind on my books. Can you still help?

Absolutely. We will work out what is outstanding and get you back on track step by step.

Where do you work?

I am based in Goolwa and work with businesses across the South Coast. I can work on-site at your business, off-site, or a mix of both, whatever suits you.

Is my information kept safe?

Yes. Confidentiality and trust underpin everything I do. I work in secure cloud software rather than emailing files wherever possible, and I carry professional indemnity insurance.
