all about BOOST BOOKKEEPING!
Boost Bookkeeping was born in Oct 2006 when I decided to leave my job as Finance and Administration Manager of a large SA Manufacturing company and start up my own business as a Freelance Contract Bookkeeper.
running my own small business:
Bookkeeping has always been a large part of my working life. Whether running my own small business, my husband and I owned a Small Country Hotel and then a Spring Water Franchise in the 80's-90's, or as an employee in several Administration and Finance Management Roles.
study to corporate life:
As a mature age student I returned to TAFE and finished my Certificate in Accounting which lead to me securing a position as Administration Manager of a small Accounting firm in Adelaide. Within 2 years, several mergers and promotions later, I found myself in the position of Administration Manager of a large Accounting Firm, reporting to 9 Directors. It was in this environment, working with many qualified accountants, that I really improved my bookkeeping skills.
you can have a Finance & Administration Manager for your business:
My work and life experiences have been invaluable in providing assistance to my bookkeeping clients and growing BOOST bookkeeping as a business. Many of my current clients do not have the need or finances available to employ a full time manager for their Administration Department. This is where I can help! Whether I attend your premises for 2 hours per fortnight or 1 day per week, I can use my experience to assist my clients in areas of compliance such as workcover, payroll tax, GST, payroll and dealing with the ATO. It's like having your own Finance and Administration Manager!
how to be your own bookkeeper:
my bookkeeping manual was written to answer all the questions that were consistently asked of me by my clients. It was an interesting exercise putting it all down in print! It has resulted in the production of a great resource for micro business owners that do not have the ability to employ a bookkeeper, but want to keep their records in order. Start with the checklist at the back of the manual to see how "be your own bookkeeper" can help you.
the next step:
I am happy to say that BOOST Bookkeeping is now in an expansion phase. I have been able to secure the services of several great bookkeepers to assist me with the workload. Currently I am in the process of implementing a system that ensures the consistency and accuracy of our Bookkeeping processes, regardless of which BOOST Bookkeeping bookkeeper performs the work.
vision for the future:
My aim is for my team to provide the great customer service to clients, manage the compliance issues and provide accurate financial reports that you can act on to improve your business!
