To support small to medium businesses and NFP’s to keep in the good books by providing quality, timely and friendly bookkeeping services.
What’s the ‘Green’ for?
We want to improve the way organisation managers and employees spend their time by encouraging the use of cloud technology. Less paper processes, and more time to perform core activities.

Our unique attributes in this industry is our combined leadership and management skills, friendliness, understanding of how people tick, and flair for training and mentoring.
We also have a strong desire to see clients invest in online practices to keep up with the rapidly changing pace of doing business.

Lastly, we can help you to develop systems and processes that are consistent, well thought out, and effective.
What Do We Do?
My Green Bookkeeper provides four main areas of business service: Bookkeeping (doing the business), Reporting (feedback on the business), Training (develop the business people) and Cloud Accounting (streamline the business).
We achieve this by having excellence in the three areas of success: People, Processes, and Technology. What works in your favour is the way we treat people, our love of developing great systems, and our adaptability when it comes to technology.

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.”
