We ask the tough questions

You’ve got a free half hour during your work day. What do you do?

Read through ATO and Fair Work Australia updates. 

What's the biggest thing you've learnt this year?

Never give up...keep trying.

What’s your number one stress relief tactic (keep it clean!)?

Chocolate and strong coffee.

What’s the smartest bit of marketing you’ve ever done?

Join Flying Solo!

What’s the most enjoyable element of your work? And the least enjoyable?

Most enjoyable would have to be creating order from absolute chaos.

Least enjoyable, filing!

What’s the cheapest, most effective bit of marketing you’ve ever done?

Mail outs to local businesses.

What’s the best piece of business advice you’ve ever been given?

Don’t upset the ATO.

What would be your advice to aspiring soloists?

Go for it, it will be the most rewarding thing you will ever do.

What is the one regret you do not want to have in this lifetime?

Having never tried.

What inspires you most about your work?

My client’s peace of mind.

If your office caught fire, what would you grab first? What would you toss into the flames?

I would grab my iPad and toss the filing.

If you could pick anyone to be your personal assistant, who would it be and why?

Bette Midler, never a dull moment.

And now comes the plug!

What do you do? Who for? And how does it benefit them?

I am an experienced bookkeeper organising small businesses. I assist clients with setting up their new business ensuring they have applied for all their relevant registrations, including registration of business/company name, Workcover, ABN registration and insurances. I offer ongoing business support and advice.

I also set up and maintain a MYOB data base, process all paper work ensuring all clients remain compliant and meet their employer obligations, as well as BAS GST, and taxation.
