Businesses have different requirements therefore I prefer to tailor my services to your needs. Please contact me to discuss.
ARE MY ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE FEES INCLUDED?
No, all my clients hold their own license to their accounting software.

No. While I can assist with your GST returns, I can’t provide clients with year-end tax services. I’m able to prepare your accounts to trial balance, which can then be reviewed by your accountant and they will advise you on your tax obligations.
DO YOU WORK WITH ALL ACCOUNTANTS?
I’m happy to work alongside your accountant of choice to help your business grow.
ABOUT ME
After working in accounts since I was 16 and gaining my accounting qualification in the UK, I moved to NZ in 2005 where I spent 7 years working as an accounts manager for a corporate company in Auckland CBD. I started Crystal Clear Bookkeeping in 2012, just a year after having my first daughter, when I realised going back to my 9-5 job away from my gorgeous girl was too emotional for me. I have gained many years experience in all areas of accounts, from debt collections, accounts payable and receivable to payroll and management accounts. I decided to put this experience to good use and started helping a friend with there business accounts, through word of mouth I was recommended to other businesses and here I am 8 year later, now with two daughters and a supportive husband, loving what I do.
I would love the chance to meet with any business owner over a coffee to discuss how I can help you.
