About Us
Managing Director:
Nicola Edie is a certified member of the New Zealand Bookkeepers Association, and a certified Payroll Leader via the NZPPA (New Zealand Payroll Practitioners Association). She is a Xero Certified Advisor and Partner, holding a Dip Acc and Graduate Diploma in Not For Profit Management.
She has spent over 20 years providing financial services – the first 10 years in front line accounts and 5 years for businesses as an Account Manager with multiple clients. In 2016 we launched My Green Bookkeeper and have slowly built a team and clientele to where it is today.
Nicola is a great fan of releasing talented people to go and do what they are good at, while the people at My Green Bookkeeper take care of the annoying and technical bits. She offers Xero expertise and paperless accounting practices – helping you to ‘go green’ in the office. Having a keen interest in how people tick, along with her warm and people-friendly approach can make all the difference to your business.

Finance Manager – Large NFP
“In terms of Payroll, xxxx is doing an amazing job. She is very professional, reliable and thorough and an absolute pleasure to work with. As [client] works through our first year in the new strategy there has been quite a lot of movement in staffing which in turn has had a flow-on effect to payroll. To this end, xxxx has been a real asset in terms of her capability, efficiency and accuracy.”
