Beyond Bold Bookkeeping

14/03/2025

Who said bookkeeping has to be boring?!

If you're picturing endless spreadsheets, shoe boxes full of receipts, and a caffeine-fueled stress spiral... I promise you, it doesn’t have to be that way.

I’m Kate, an New Zealand e-commerce bookkeeper who’s anything but cliché. I bring clarity (and a bit of fun!) to your numbers so you can focus on scaling your business - without the financial headache. 🚀

✅ Ex-RN turned numbers nerd
✅ Parrot mum 🦜
✅ Slightly obsessed with F1 🏎️

Let’s make your e-commerce finances as exciting as race day! Who’s with me? 👇🏽

❌ Avoid the year-end finance scramble! ❌

These 5 simple steps will help you wrap up your financial year with confidence (and a bigger profit).

The good news? You don’t have to figure it all out alone. My E-commerce Biz Profit Health Check will show you exactly where your business is losing (or making) money.

Unpopular opinion: Your e-commerce business accounts are feeling like the the third wheel with you and your biz 😒.

You put so much energy into your business, but are you giving it the love it truly deserves? 💖 Showing your business love isn’t about doing the bare minimum to meet your IRD obligations; it’s about working with your numbers.

This valentines day, I challenge you to do these 3 quick wins with your business finances. Your bank account will thank you for it:

❤️ Finish one bank reconciliation: Pop a timer on, a great podcast and smash it out.

❤️Review your subscriptions: We all have them. They slowly draining money from the bank account. Review them, see which ones you are still paying for that you don't use, and break up with them.

❤️Celebrate your wins so far: Grab a notebook, and a wine. Pour a glass, and celebrate you and your business.

If your numbers feel like heartbreak 💔, my E-commerce Biz Profit Health Check will show you where to patch things up. ❤️💰

Drop a '❤️' in the comments if your business deserves some love, and I'll flick you the link to the health check.

Thank you Institute of Certified NZ Bookkeepers and MYOB for this amazing prize

I am so excited!MYOB has reminded recently why I loved playing netball

Here's a random fact for you all:
Amelia Walmsley, our current GS, played for the same club in Auckland that I played for during high school, (a good few years apart). It makes me so happy that our little club was a part of an amazing Silver Ferns netball career

To Sue Lindsay for being the most amazing mother and mentor anyone could ask for!

To Chris and Peter Nolan for being fantastic God parents and helping me make the decision to go out on my own!

Bookkeeping.... is the only word in the English language that has three consecutive sets of double letters without hyphens!

I knew us bookkeepers were a little bit unique.
