I've been using Kate Keeps Books and her team for over five years now across multiple businesses and personal matters, and they've been
nothing short of excellent. Kate and the team are always reliable, detail-focused, and quick to respond whenever I need support. They've
taken the stress out of bookkeeping by keeping everything organised and up to date. I trust them completely with my financial records
and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and friendly bookkeeping service.
Running my own business meant I was doing every aspect myself, and I knew I needed specialised help to offload the bookkeeping side. That's
when I started working with Kate from Kate Keeps Books Pty Ltd, and she has been absolutely amazing.
Kate is efficient, reliable, and keeps everything up to date. Her communication is excellent, and I always feel confident that my accounts are in good hands. She manages my Business Activity Statements, Instalment Activity Statements, end-of-year financials, payroll, and WorkCover reporting - making the whole process stress-free.
Sometimes you really need a fellow small business operator so you get that personal, tailored approach - and that's exactly what Kate delivers. I've already recommended her to other small business owners, and I'll continue to do so.
