Kia ora, I’m Alice!

I'm business owner, the mum to two very busy teens girls and I am super passionate about making our community a better place.

Since starting my business 9 years ago, I have learnt first hand what juggling is required to keep on top of running a successful organisation.

Some days are tough!

But tough doesn’t mean impossible. I am proof that you can create balance in your business and now I have the absolute pleasure in providing support to other impact oriented organisations to enable them to hit their targets and achieve their goals.

But I‘m a number cruncher at heart and love nothing more than assisting clients with their bookkeeping and accounting tasks.

Why should I hire you instead of an accountant?

Paying big bucks to employ an accountant is not your only option.

We are affordable and offer an additional range of services that an accountant won’t.

But don’t worry - we absolutely know what we’re doing! Alice is qualified, certified, experienced, and is also a card carrying Silver Level member of the Institute of Certified NZ Bookkeepers and the NZ Payroll Practitioners Association. Boom!

 
 
 

Each business has its own unique needs.

 

Are the packages mentioned above not quite what you’re looking for?

Simply contact Alice for a free no obligation consultation as a bespoke package can be put together to suit your business’s unique requirements.

 

What types of businesses do you support?

 

Whilst the door is always open to all opportunities that come our way, we primarily support small business owners and Boards.

Whether you are based locally or nationally, because we work virtually we can support anyone - anywhere.

 

I only need occasional, ad-hoc support so I don’t need to commit to a monthly package. Can I still hire you?

 

Yes! Our services are flexible and work to fit with our clients’ needs. Whether ongoing or casual - we have a package or hourly rate to suit everyone.

 

Do you ever work on-site at your client’s place of work?

 

Yes! Whilst primarily we work virtually (from a home office) if you need a minutes secretary or someone to sit in on a meeting, Alice is more then happy to attend if it is within Hamilton or the surrounding townships.

Alice will also pop into your offices to collect receipts and papers for IRD filing purposes, or alternatively you can drop them off to our Hamilton address if you would prefer. 

If you are looking for occasional in-house office cover we are happy to chat about that (special rates may apply).

 

How do I book a free consultation with you?

 

It’s easy! Simply click here and send us a message. Alice will reply (normally within 1 business day) to arrange a suitable time to either meet in person, on the phone or via Zoom.

Our no obligation consultations can last up to an hour as it’s important for us to really get to know one-another.

 

Don’t just take our word for it …

 
 

It’s important that we can work well together.

 

The only way to figure this out is to meet (either in person or via Zoom) to see if Alice from Accounts will be a good match for your business.

Contact Alice today for a free no obligation consultation so that we can discuss your business needs in depth.
