Three ways to work with me - by the hour when you need it, monthly bookkeeping, or monthly with reporting. Plain numbers, no quote-gating, and a free 30-minute chat to figure out what fits before you commit to anything.
Hourly
$70/hr/ $85/hr for setup
Ad-hoc help, one-off catch-ups, or Xero setup as a project.
Xero setup and training is $85/hr. Everything else is $70/hr.
Starter
$315/month
Sole traders and small operators wanting their books kept in order each month.
Additional bookkeeping billed hourly at $70/hr.
Plus
$470/month
Small businesses needing financial visibility for decision-making.
Worth knowing: a recent nationwide survey found nearly half of New Zealand sole traders aren't claiming all the expenses they're entitled to. Get your Xero set up properly and you stop leaving that money on the table.
Hourly
If you've just signed up to Xero and need help getting set up, start with Hourly - that's what it's for. Same for one-off catch-ups, migration projects, or training sessions you'd rather book as you need them.
Starter
If you're running a sole trader business and want someone keeping your books in order each month, Starter is designed for that. GST, payroll, tax returns, and the annual review all included.
Plus
If you need to see how your business is actually doing - real reports, real numbers, real visibility - Plus adds the reporting layer. Profit and loss, balance sheet, cashflow, budget. The data you need to make decisions, not just file returns.
I'm a bookkeeper - that's what I'm qualified for and that's what I do well. The list of things I don't do is short, but I'd rather you know up front than three months in. Here's the lot.
What I do
What I refer out
Yes, any time. The packages are designed so you can start small and step up as you need to - or step down if your needs change. We'll have a chat first to make sure the move makes sense for what you're running.
That's exactly what the Hourly option is for. One-off setup, a migration project, a training session, or a catch-up on books that have got away from you - all billed by the hour ($85/hr for setup and training, $70/hr for everything else). No commitment to anything ongoing.
A 30-minute chat by phone or video. I'll ask about your business and where Xero fits in (or doesn't yet). You can ask me anything - what I do, how I work, what fits your situation. No sales pitch, no obligation. If we're a good fit we'll talk about next steps; if we're not, I'll point you toward someone who is.
No long lock-ins. Monthly packages are month-to-month - if it stops working for you, you tell me and we wind it down. I want to keep clients because the work is good, not because the paperwork makes it hard to leave.
Xero (and any other software like Hubdoc) is billed directly by the provider, separate from my fees. As a Xero Partner Silver I can sometimes get you onto Xero faster or with a short discount window - we'll work out the right plan for you during the setup conversation.
I'll happily do your day-to-day bookkeeping, GST, payroll, and have your books tidy and ready for end-of-year. I refer the Ltd company end-of-year return itself to an accountant - I don't pretend to be one. If you don't already have an accountant, I'll help you find the right one.
Tell me a bit about you and your business. I'll come back within a working day and we'll find the package that actually fits.
