Oops I did it again! I accidentally created another bookkeeping business. Sort of. You see, I mentor bookkeepers, and I am a very experienced bookkeeper and business owner myself, so when I get asked if my business can do the bookkeeping, well turns out that I have a ready pool of ICNZB Certified Bookkeepers at my fingertips. Which, as it turns out, is a synergistic combination.

Jada Accounts and Bookkeeping was an outsourced bookkeeping and accounting software training company. I started Jada because I could see that there are a lot of businesses really struggling with the accounts side of their business, and I felt that we could help those businesses to put systems in place and to take over their bookkeeping, a task that would often seem like a burden to so many business owners, so that they could focus on growing and managing their business.

Our bookkeeping service was flexible ranging from full service where we came in and did everything up to end of year accounts, to custom built as required for particular areas of bookkeeping as needed.We provided all aspects of bookkeeping and office administration - Payroll, Debtors, Creditors, Cashbook, PAYE, GST, Invoicing/Statements, Bank Reconciliations, Credit Control, Cash flow monitoring & reporting, and Monthly Reporting.Training and consulting was a big part of the business with a team of MYOB, Xero and Reckon (QuickBooks) Certified and Accredited Consultants and Advisers, We provided systems analysis and consultations, the set-up and implementation of relevant accounting software, and training to business owners and key staff members in the use of the software and in best practice bookkeeping.Alongside this I developed a boutique consulting and coaching business and in January 2015 I sold Jada Accounts in order to focus on this side of the business, an area that I have always particularly enjoyed.
