The Team
Our team, Tina and Shannon, specialise in providing meticulous financial management solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of small to medium-sized businesses.
We’ll have a meeting with you to discuss your requirements and what you’d like help with in your business, whether it’s bookkeeping, payroll or general admin services.
You provide the information we need to deliver our bookkeeping, payroll and admin services to your business.
Our bookkeeping and admin team take care of all the paperwork, ensuring your books are compliant and everything aligns with best practices.
We have a very proactive approach, you’ll hear from us each week so that you’re fully informed with what’s going on in your books and if you want an in-person meeting then we can do that too!
Leveraging platforms such as Xero, MYOB Business and most common platforms, we ensure streamlined bookkeeping solutions. With previous experience in Oracle, Costar, and other systems, we offer comprehensive support to optimise your financial processes and support your business growth.
Our solutions orientate around you as an individual business and what you specifically need to sustain and grow. It’s not a one-size-fits-all system, which is why we work closely with you over time.

If you can't find what you're looking for here, please don't hesitate to contact us directly – we're always happy to chat through your specific needs.
Still have questions?
Both! We can provide regular ongoing admin support or step in during busy periods, seasonal rushes, or when your usual staff are away. Because we don't have a minimum charge, we can do 10 minutes a month or several hours, depending on what you need at the time!
Pretty much anything administrative your business needs - the only admin task we can't do is full reception. We've handled everything from basic filing and email management to complex creditor negotiations and customer service support. We've even had times when a client's phone has come to us as they have been short-staffed and cannot take calls.
Yes and no, setting up is usually very straightforward; however, it does depend on the system. I have done some conversions, but there are times it is more beneficial to let an expert handle some of them, you have to look at what is most cost-effective for the client.
This depends on your business needs and however often you want. Some people prefer weekly check-ins, while others opt for monthly reviews. We tailor our reporting and meeting schedule to what works best for your business and we're always happy to change depending on your needs!
Yes, absolutely! We are more than happy to work with your accountant, and we do so for many of our clients. We can also help you to find an accountant that suits you if you don't have one yet. It is important to have a good relationship with an accountant that works for you.
Any industry! Between us we have worked in a variety of sectors, so we may already know a bit of what you do. If not we are always keen to learn!
We have used many different systems over the years, each system has good and bad features, we currently have clients using Xero, Xero Payroll, Infusion, Mechanic Desk, Fergus, Crystal Payroll and Thankyou Payroll. We also have experience in MYOB Business, including the payroll, and have used many other programmes over the years. We pride ourselves on being able learn new software (and we won't charge a client for learning a system!)
A bookkeeper handles the daily financial tasks, looking at smaller details and transactions, ensuring your financial records are organised, and laying the groundwork for the accountant to come in and do the year-end tax compliance. Your bookkeeper is a lot cheaper than an accountant and will save on your accountant's time by ensuring all the information is at the accountant's fingertips.
Yes absolutely. Tina was working from home two days a week before COVID to care for family, then through COVID she was at home the whole time. Some clients I see weekly, others I will see monthly. As so much is now electronic, you don’t need to be on-site, so time is not wasted on things that a bookkeeper doesn’t need to be involved in. It also saves the company costs, I use my own computers, phone, internet, and power. If a client needs me, I can always jump in the car to see them if it can’t be dealt with over the phone.
Yes, it is not unusual for someone to realise they need help and turn up with a box full of receipts, often with no separation between personal and business, this would be very expensive for an accountant to deal with.
Stop losing sleep over your financials.
Let us handle your bookkeeping and admin so you can focus on what you do best.
