Hi there! My name is Sophie Christy and I am a bookkeeper and operations manager extraordinaire. You’re probably thinking, “Wow, what an exciting career choice!” And you know what? You’re absolutely right.

I am passionate about helping business owners achieve their goals by taking the stress away. Because let’s face it, who needs extra stress in their lives?

With extensive experience in property, office management, and operations, I know a thing or two about juggling tasks and keeping everything running smoothly. Kind of like a circus performer, except without the excessive makeup and creepy clown outfits.

When I’m not balancing books and overseeing operations, you can probably find me binge-watching my latest Netflix obsession or attempting to cook something that doesn’t end up in the rubbish bin.

But let’s get serious for a moment. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and I am here to help them thrive. So if you’re a business owner in need of bookkeeping assistance, then look no further. I may not have a superhero cape, but I do have a calculator and a can-do attitude. Let’s take on the world (of business) together.

MAK

PA & Head of Client Happiness 

Mak assists with helping clients understand the possibility of balance in their work day. No matter how snowed under we are, there is always time for a pat (he’s actually quite needy for those!), and a break laying out in the sun. 

GIGI

Internal Cuteness Manager

Gigi is the newest member of our team and is proving to be quite the little go getter! She is always encouraging the team to be active and get out for lunchtime walks, but is then happy to quietly supervise as we get our work done throughout the afternoon. 

“Kerri is such a genuine professional”

I am so grateful to Kerri for sorting out my business structure to ensure that I am compliant and my reportage is accurate and up to date.
