  • Financial reporting, cashflow monitoring and tracking expenses

Support that fits your current systems

I am Xero certified and have experience with Xero Payroll, Smartly, iPayroll and other payroll systems. We can discuss your software and the tasks you want to hand over. Payroll-only support is welcome; there is no need to outsource everything.

Flexible, hourly support

You only pay for the support you need. There is no fixed weekly hours commitment: use regular help, support during busy periods or assistance with a specific task. We will discuss the work and agree an arrangement that suits your business.

Can you work with my existing Xero setup?

Can I outsource only payroll?

How much do your services cost?

My services are charged on an hourly basis, so you only pay for the support you need.

Every business is different, and the amount of assistance required will depend on the tasks involved and how frequently you need support.
