Get your books in order and keep them that way

I’ve been using Kay’s booking keeping services for just over a year now.
Like anybody taking on a bookkeeper for the first time, I was a little sceptical if she would live up to my needs. 
Well, I’m happy to say, Kay is terribly proficient in her field. Her wealth of knowledge has helped steer me straight numerous times. 
She’s very professional and efficient and has put me at ease.
I would recommend Kay’s bookkeeping services to anyone that’s looking to upgrade. 

When I appointed Kay as my bookkeeper, my books were not in great order and cashflow was a problem. Kay has brought things back in line and been a constant contact so that things stay on the right track. For a busy tradie trying to keep up daily Kay has been a fantastic business partner.

Kay has been a great addition to my business.  I previously had my accountant doing my books but since Kay has taken over the bookkeeping role not only has it been more efficient but there is definitely more control of the business.
Kay has a great manner and is always positive.  She is always there to chat or answer any questions I have.  I’m the type of client who does ask a lot of questions but Kay always has time and I think she quite likes to be challenged as she has a passion for her job which definitely comes across.
Kay also does my wife’s bookkeeping which has also been a great help.  I’m so glad that I took on a bookkeeper but more importantly that it was Kay that fills the role as she has been a great fit.  I would highly recommend her services.

Our experience with Kay has been extremely positive. She is a person I trust completely, not to just do the job but to actively engage in how we can improve our systems. She is highly professional and always available to answer any question no matter how small. Its a great thing to find someone who has your back, she has taken a huge load off!

Kay has been our bookkeeper for the last 3 years and we have found her to be very professional, helpful and does a great job.  Whenever I have a question or need to check something out she is always happy to chat and discuss.
Often Kay will go through my profit and loss accounts and talk these over with me too and highlight anything that would be of interest.
Kay also keeps me get up to date with any new apps or software she comes across that may streamline our admin or paperwork which is super helpful like XBert, Dext, Xero updates etc
She is a hands-on type of person and genuinely cares about your books.   I would highly recommend Kay to any business owner that wants a bookkeeper who cares about your business and your books.

I have found a competent and conscientious bookkeeper in Kay.  She has worked with my construction company’s existing account management systems and has further enhanced and refined them. I have also been well guided in the use of Xero and Dext software systems for which Kay has demonstrated great patience with me.  She is friendly, responsive and makes herself available when needed. It is reassuring to know Kay is there to help me with my bookkeeping requirements.

We cannot thank Kay enough!
Not only is she a professional bookkeeper, she is now a friend and mentor.
Thank you Kay for managing our accounts from day 1. We have learnt so much from you and thank you for being patient!
She is always there if we get stuck!
Highly recommend!

Kay worked with me as Group financial controller for a recently acquired large family owned German group of companies. This was an especially challenging role bridging the requirements of a listed international group and the culture of a hundred year old family owned company. Kay excelled in the role developing both the underlying internal controls and group reporting systems. Kay developed the required financial control in such a challenging environment through determination, a strong work ethic and the real ability to work as a team. Her achievements ultimately resulted in her promotion to a corporate head office role in Australia.

Kay Godfrey comes highly recommended! Kay set up my Quickbooks, integrated Servicem8 and provided the training I needed to manage my day-to-day small business bookkeeping independently. Could I have done this without her? Possibly, but going-it-alone would almost certainly have been slower, less accurate and more stressful. Kay made the process stress free, fast and friendly. I can relax in the knowledge that I’m capturing the right information correctly and will be ready for the tax man. She gave me her undivided attention and took the time to truly understand my business and future plans. Kay’s service and style are ideally matched to the needs of new or established small businesses, such as trades, services and online retailers. Kay’s expertise is invaluable, affordable, personalised, supportive and one of the best business investments I’ve made to date.

Young Engineers North Shore is a new business established in October 2017 , we have found that Kay has grasped the concepts of our business model quickly and is giving us ‘peace of mind’ by looking after the stuff that we are not good at (financials), so that we can get on with running our business ‘We look forward to working with Kay where she continues to add value in the critical area of finance compliance

Kay has been amazing and has helped us so much by taking off a lot of stress with our bookkeeping, so we can spend time with our family Thankyou Kay!

We run an in-home care worker services business for elderly people in the local area who want to live at home safely and comfortably. We have been open one year and as we get busier and busier, book keeping services such as submitting invoices to brokerages, keeping track of outstanding invoices, producing monthly P&L summaries, and supporting us with learning Quick Books is invaluable. Operational excellence is critical to keep clients and staff happy, and Kay is an invaluable part of our operational excellence goals.

Thank you! It’s because of your wonderful guidance and your easy going user friendly approach. Also you explain things the way that I understand, which is a bonus for me. In the past, I have found other bookkeepers/accountants forget that us ‘lay’ people don’t understand the jargon if not explained in easy to understand terms. Thanks again and have an awesome weekend.

Kay from First Class accounts has done an amazing job for Floral Instinct, particularly tidying up our debtors and streamlining our client payment processes. I love her pro-activity, discretionary effort, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Kay Godfrey to other SME’s.
