Kaitara Bookkeeping Services

Business can be such a balancing act.  Not just balancing the books, but all the things you have on the go as a small business owner too.  It can be a constant juggle where either things don’t get done or you work all hours.​

At Kaitara Bookkeeping my goal is to help you spend less time managing the books and more time living your life.  I specialise in working with small businesses who want a safe set of hands to look after all their bookkeeping and financial administration needs.​

About Kaitara Bookkeeping Services.

Hi, I’m Liz.

Growing up, I watched my Dad run his drain-laying business. He'd be up at the crack of dawn, work all day, then spend his evenings and weekends managing the books—mostly because he didn’t trust anyone else to do it. That’s where my interest in bookkeeping began, along with the desire to help small business owners lighten the load of financial management and achieve a better work-life balance.

Helping businesses grow confidently is my specialty. When I first started, my clients ranged from small family-owned businesses to tradies and multi-store companies. Over time, I discovered a passion for streamlining processes to create ease and momentum for fast-growing businesses. Many business owners with strong visions and dedicated teams have referred others to me, and now I specialize in bookkeeping for high-growth businesses.

In just four years, I’ve exceeded my own goals and learned the importance of surrounding myself with people who are moving fast. At Kaitara Bookkeeping Services, our commitment is to keep you compliant, informed, and confident in the continuity of reliable bookkeeping. High growth demands diligence, and that’s exactly what we deliver.

Accounts in a mess? - POA

If your accounts are a mess, don’t fear.  I have experience in sorting through the mess to create organised financial records.  Get in touch to find out more about how I can help create order from the chaos. 

• Receipts sitting in a shoebox or shoved in a drawer to deal with ‘one day’?
• Don’t know why anyone would bother reconciling their bank accounts?
• Your wife/partner was doing the accounts but has quit?
• Know you should be doing something with your financial records, but not sure what that is?

I don’t have a ‘one-size fits all’ approach.  Every client has a tailored package as every business is different.

If you want to spend less time managing your finances and more time living life, let’s talk. ​

Whether you’re an established small business, a tradie or just starting out, I can help. I work with local businesses here in Whangarei and across New Zealand.
