Hi, I’m Emma
With 24 years in the bookkeeping world, I’ve seen it all: the tangled messes, the spreadsheets that don’t make sense, the clients who hand me a shoebox of receipts and a prayer. And I weirdly love it.
I’ve been untangling the financial chaos of businesses for nearly 25 years — and I still get excited cracking open a fresh data file. No, really.
I’ve seen it all: the tangled messes, the numbers that don’t make sense, the clients who hand me a shoebox of receipts and a prayer. And I weirdly love it.
I started my career in bookkeeping when I was 21, and over two decades later, I’ve worked with just about every business model you can think of: tradies, creatives, HR consultants, photographers, lawyers, property investors, even a few that made me raise an eyebrow and go “…interesting.” And I loved every single one.
At the heart of it….
I love the puzzle. I love walking into a business where the books are a mess, the owners are overwhelmed, and nobody knows where the money’s going — and then calmly, methodically, magically making sense of it all.
What I’m really good at
Fixing the financial messes that keep you up at night
Finding money you didn’t know you had (yes, really)
Spotting what you can’t see when you’re too close to the problem
Taking the pressure off family run businesses
Reading your financials and your energy — I’ll know if something’s off before you do
Let’s be honest - not many people LOVE doing ‘book work’ …… but I do!
What makes me different?
I’m not the suit-and-heels kind of bookkeeper. You won’t get rehearsed scripts or copy-paste templates here. You’ll get…
A relaxed, approachable vibe, Straight talk — with warmth, humour, and the occasional curse word
The blend: Practical financial services backed by serious experience and intuitive guidance (Tarot cards optional)
And I’m not afraid to be the “bad guy” for you — chasing up debts, pushing for overdue paperwork, or stepping in when it all gets too confusing and totally overwhelming. Sometimes having an outside perspective in your corner changes everything.
I don’t do fluff, and I don’t do cookie-cutter. Every client is different — and I work with you, not just your numbers.
I work with landscapers, migration lawyers, HR consultants, wedding photographers, and more. If you run a business, I understand how it ticks — and how to make it better.
My clients come to me when….
-
the ATO is breathing down their neck, and they don’t know where to start
-
(like seperation) and need help regaining financial control and clarity
-
and they need better systems, people, and processes to scale properly
-
beyond the numbers! I read people and the play, allowing me to create an overall picture that others don’t see.
Why it matters
I’m a firm believer that clarity is power.
That numbers don’t lie — but people often misinterpret them (just because the bank balance isn’t in the red - doesn’t mean you’re ACTUALLY making money).
And that with the right support, even the most financially frazzled business can find solid ground.
Over the years, I’ve built long-term relationships with clients who trust me not just with their numbers, but with the decisions that shape their future. I get inside your business (not in a creepy way), understand how you operate, and help you make better, smarter decisions — whether that’s about hiring, spending, pricing, or just getting the books out of the too-hard basket.
