You run a real business in a real place. Your books should feel the same — tidy, accurate, and quietly handled so you can get back to the work that actually pays.
Hi, I'm a Xero-certified bookkeeper based in Motueka, Tasman.
I work with a small number of clients at a time so the work is always thorough and the emails always get answered. If you're looking for a bookkeeper who picks up the phone and knows the name of your business, we should talk.
Day-to-day I also work as an office administrator for a local landscape supplies company, and before that I spent years as a software developer. Between the two, there's not much a small business can throw at me — Xero quirks, a POS that won't sync, a dodgy website, supplier invoices in a state — that I haven't seen before.
Six things I do regularly, listed below. Anything not on this list — just ask. There's a fair chance I can still help, and if I can't I'll tell you honestly and point you somewhere that can.
Keeping your Xero tidy, reconciled, and ready. Invoices in, bills out, bank matched, and nothing quietly piling up in the background.
Two-monthly or six-monthly GST prepared, checked, and filed on time. No more late-night scrambles on the 28th.
New to Xero, or inherited a mess? I'll get the chart of accounts sorted, your bank feeds working, and your historical data tidy.
Chasing overdue invoices is awkward when it's your own customers. I'll do it on your behalf, politely and consistently.
Small-team payroll in Xero — PAYE, KiwiSaver, leave balances, payday filing. Set up once, runs cleanly every week.
The bits that don't fit neatly in a bookkeeping box — quoting, supplier follow-ups, document wrangling, inbox triage.
Most clients settle into a fixed monthly package after the first month or two — once we both know what the work actually looks like. Until then, hourly is honest for everyone.
