Have you considered hiring a Virtual Assistant to take care of your office admin and bookkeeping? Do you know that hiring a Virtual Assistant is way cheaper than employing another staff member??
I’m a Certified Bookkeeper and Xero advisor, well versed in general office admin, lover of creating and following processes, payroll, paperless offices and possibly slightly OCD about numbers.
I’ve been around trades-based businesses for 20+ years, as an owner and/or office manager, so I know what’s involved in running these businesses (and I’m used to bad language and politically incorrect jokes!).

After doing really well for the last couple of summers, and absolutely loving it, 12-year-old has asked me to put the word out again about her availability for looking after your pets over the coming summer.
Over the last two summers she has she managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, lots of bits and bobs, endless packets of mentos, and funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over for the rest of the year. 😊 Not sure what next year will bring for her but she’s keen to have a few dollars put away to make the most of whatever it is.
She's keen to feed small pets and birds, water pot plants/gardens, walk friendly dogs etc etc. Available immediately and throughout the summer up to the end of Jan. Please keep her in mind if you're away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates negotiable! References available from happy customers.
Needless to say she will be fully supervised! 😊 Text me on 0226206258 to arrange for an intro visit. 😊

Downsize to a richer, happier life
What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.
This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to … View moreWhat do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.
This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.
When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.
Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.
No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.
