Testimonials
Kathi started working with me near the end of 2020 after 2 builders I'd been working with had gone broke after Covid hit the economy hard. My business was suffering badly in trying to recover and the accountant I'd been using was not helping me in any significant way. Kathi jumped straight in, reconciled the mess we'd made of my accounts, set us up in Quickbooks and within a few months helped me go from making a 50K loss to nearly 300K profit. We are now rapidly expanding and making more money than ever now we have job costing in place and several adult apprentices onboard we get rebates for. I cannot recommend her services highly enough, whatever you need Kath finds a way to make it happen for us. Try Tradie Books Australia and Kathi - you will not regret it!
Dorrian Smerdon | Native Coatings Pty Ltd
Kathi started working with our company around 6 years ago when we needed an expert in Quickbooks to get our accounts in order. Her expertise in the software has been invaluable over the years in costing, budgeting, cash flow management, management reporting and payroll and superannuation management. We rely heavily on her experience to ensure our compliance is done on time, including the ATO requirements as well as QBCC, QLeave, TPAR and Payroll Tax reporting. We have now grown to a group of 6 companies and Kathi and her team provide professional, timely and accurate services for our bookkeeping, BAS, payroll and other management accounting needs. Our Tax Accountant told us she'd never seen such a clean set of accounts so she saved us money there too! Try Kathi and her team out, you will not be disappointed.
