TESTIMONIALS

We started our business in 2011 & selected one of the big accounting packages that were on the market. Unfortunately for me I bought one that was not as user friendly as Xero. I struggled on for seven years but as the company got larger and my hours increased, my accountant suggested Xero and a company that could migrate my accounts across. But this wasn’t as simple as we thought. Thankfully in came Jen - wow what a life saver!! She spent hours sorting out the mess following the migration and turned it into the amazingly brilliant accounting package I have today. I can call Jen about the smallest thing and she is always there with her support. I would highly recommend Jen's services to anyone migrating or starting with Xero. From working 50 +hours a week, I am now able to get the work done plus more in half the time because of Jen and Xero.

When I came to Jen for bookkeeping help, my paperwork was out of control and a major stress. Now she has me so organised, we only need to catch up every quarter to stay on track. It's a huge weight off my shoulders

We have had tremendous support from Jennifer Brown during some very arduous bookkeeping moments. Jennifer is thorough, works tirelessly and has a great sense of humour even in the toughest hours. She has supported me (the Manager) and our Board of Management and our employees and takes her role very seriously. Jennifer also provides a cost effective and efficient service which is superior to many employees I’ve seen in the past, burdened with bookkeeping and payroll duties within an organisation.

We have always found Jennifer Brown at Balance Matters Bookkeeping to be efficient, concise, accurate and a pleasure to work with. My clients that have used her services have advised us that they appreciate her professionalism, ability to simplify processes and her down to earth communication.
