Your Business – My Focus

Hi, my name is Janelle and I am a degree qualified bookkeeper and accounting professional, with over 30 years experience in bookkeeping, accounting and administration, as well as a qualified trainer and assesor. I am a Registered BAS Agent, partnering with business owners to help them grow their business and achieve their business goals.

I have extensive experience in retail, manufacturing, building and construction, education and of course accounting and bookkeeping. This has allowed me to help multiple businesses in a range of services and industries, providing solutions to their bookkeeping and accounting needs. The range of clients include tradies, professional services, allied health services, rental investors, retail and wholesale business both bricks and mortar and online.

As a BAS Agent and sole trader, I understand the demands and challenges placed on business owners. I enjoy solving problems and love finding solutions to different issues, ensuring that business systems and processes meet the needs, now and in the future, for businesses to grow and succeed.

“Jan’s expertise, attention to detail and diligence have been critical to my organisations in the setting up of my accounting structure, as well as providing on-going support and oversight across the whole of my accounting platform.

Her extensive knowledge of a variety of accounting packages has enabled me to refer Jan to a number of my clients who, likewise, benefit from her expertise.”

Steven

CEO, IRSO

“Thank you so much for sharing your time with me today. I have learnt so much and my head is spinning, in a good way.

You have helped me with so many nuggets of gold that have made my life easier, my business more efficient and helped improve my confidence in my own ability.”

“Janelle has been fantastic to deal with!

She understands Xero so well and had been able to help us understand and use it’s features to our advantage.

Janelle has helped us grow by accounting for our goals not just tax.”

Katherine

“Janelle has been supplying us with bookkeeping services since our inception at ORG and the saying ‘make sure you have a good bookkeeper’ couldn’t be more correct.

Janelle really does care for her customers and treats us like the business was her own. Attention to detail is always on point and she takes time to learn what we do in our business which helps a lot with communication.

More importantly though, we trust Janelle and her work. Getting this important part of your business outsourced can sometimes seem overwhelming, however the professional services and professionalism Janelle provides is extremely reassuring. I have, and continue to, refer Janelle onto my network.

I welcome anyone to give me a call and seek a reference on Janelle if you are looking to engage Bas to Basics for your business.”

“Janelle is amazing, our accounts were a mess, we needed to sort that out which she did seamlessly. Our business structure needed revising and Janelle pointed us in the direction and connected us with great resources to make the right choices moving forward. We are now in the process of designing regular reporting and forecasting that will assist our business growth.

I feel like we have only just tapped into the amazing resource that Janelle is and feel confident for the first time during our 10 years in business that we are supported and safe..”
