ABOUT ME:

I started this business as I feel there is a real need for rural and small business bookkeeping. It makes sense in your business to spend your "working hours" doing what you do best and leaving the other jobs to someone else. They get done faster, more accurately and they help to improve your profitability by giving you up to date financial reports regularly.

I am a mother of three girls and wife of a hard working dairy farmer. We own a 200 cow dairy farm in Northland, which we got to own through hard work, budgeting and good financial management after going through the ranks managing, sharemilking and making some good decisions at the right time. We have farmed herds from 190-1700 cows in Canterbury, Golden Bay, West Coast and Northland.

I understand that doing book work and accounting is not for everyone and it can be very easy to get busy on farm and just have no time for doing it. You want to know it's done right and that you are claiming all you can as well as getting good financial information to help grow and know more about your business. It makes sense to get someone else to do it and save yourself time, stress and money.
