Taking over an existing business means you’re not starting from scratch… but that doesn’t mean you should simply inherit everything that came before you.

The first 90 days are a great opportunity to get familiar with the numbers and make sure you know exactly what you’ve taken on.

📊 Understand your cash flow
👩‍💼 Meet your accountant
🔄 Review subscriptions and recurring payments
💰 Check payroll and payment processes
📈 Learn how to read your reports
🧾 Get your bookkeeping up to date
🤝 Build your support team

And don’t underestimate that last one!

You might be brilliant at running the business, but that doesn’t mean you need to be brilliant at every single thing that keeps the business running.

The right accountant, bookkeeper and other advisors can become a huge part of your support network, particularly while you’re finding your feet.

So take the first 90 days to ask questions, understand the numbers and put good systems in place.

You’ve got a business to run. Let someone else worry about the spreadsheets. 😉

Be honest… what’s on your “I’ll get to it eventually” list? 😬

Chasing overdue invoices?
Reconciling the bank?
Sorting your payroll?
Getting your GST sorted?
Catching up on reporting?
Finally getting that Xero setup or software sorted?

If you’ve been finding increasingly creative ways to avoid the bookkeeping jobs you know need doing… consider this your sign. ✨

Hand them over to MyOfficeGirl and we’ll get them ticked off your list!

Bookkeeping. Payroll. GST. Xero. Reporting. Cashflow. Software setup and more.

You’ve got better things to do. We’ll take care of the numbers. 💙

We absolutely loved receiving this recent Google review from Glen Fifield at Plumbfast. 💙

“Here at Plumbfast we give a big shout out to Libby and her crew. Been here over a year now and the attention to detail and the personal service has been outstanding and our bottom line shows it.”

Now THAT is what we like to hear 🙌

Great bookkeeping isn’t just about keeping the numbers tidy. It’s about having someone who knows your business, pays attention to the details and helps you understand what those numbers actually mean for your bottom line.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Glen, and to the whole Plumbfast team for trusting MyOfficeGirl with your books. We love being part of your business journey! 💻📊

We look forward to keeping those numbers working for you for many more years to come 👍

Accountants, you know the clients. The ones who keep promising they’ll get on top of the books… eventually. 😅

Does your client…

…always arrive at tax time with incomplete records?

…fall behind on reconciliations?

…miss payroll deadlines?

…never know their cash position?

They probably don't need another spreadsheet.

They need a bookkeeper.

And that’s where we can help. 💙

If you’ve got a client who needs a little (or a lot) of bookkeeping support, send them our way.

Refer your bookkeeping-heavy clients to MyOfficeGirl and we’ll help get their accounts organised, their records up to date and their numbers in shape, so when they come back to you, you can spend less time chasing paperwork and more time doing what you do best.

Your client gets better books. You get a cleaner handover. Everyone wins. 🙌

This weekend we’ll be celebrating Rachel and her nine-year anniversary with the MyOfficeGirl team 🥂

It honestly doesn’t seem possible that nine years have gone by so quickly!!

Since joining MOG in 2017, Rachel has become such an important part of our crew, bringing her expertise, reliability and calm approach to everything she does. 💻✨

Working remotely from her office overlooking the beautiful beach at Kaiteriteri 🌊 means we might not get to see her every day, but she’s still very much an integral part of our team and regularly makes the trip down to Christchurch for catch-ups, laughs and a bit of face-to-face time.

Rachel, thank you for nine fantastic years of being part of the MyOfficeGirl family. We’re so lucky to have you on our team, and we can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings.

Happy 9-year anniversary, Rachel! 🥳💙

One of the biggest surprises for new business owners?

A business can be profitable on paper but still struggle to pay its bills.

That's because profit and cash flow aren't the same thing.

Keeping an eye on both helps you avoid nasty surprises and make confident decisions.

Good bookkeeping doesn't just tell you where you've been.
It helps you see what's coming.

If you’ve recently purchased an existing business with 5+ staff and turnover between $1-10m, MyOfficeGirl has the expertise to keep your books in order, AND:

✅ Analyse cashflow
✅ Provide profit and loss reporting
✅ Report on actual versus budgets
Learn more about our services, or get in touch with our team to discuss a custom solution or package. We work with clients nationwide, require zero lock-in contracts and just 2-hours per week minimum.

Business owners juggle a LOT of competing roles.

Owner. Manager. Salesperson. Customer service. Marketing. Problem solver. IT department.

But bookkeeper?

That’s one hat you don’t necessarily need to wear.

Outsourcing some of the jobs that take you away from running your business can free up your time, reduce the admin overwhelm and give you a little bit of balance back.

Because having more time to focus on growing your business (and actually enjoying having one) is probably why you went into business for yourself in the first place.

At MyOfficeGirl, we work with SMEs across New Zealand from our Christchurch base.

Outsourcing your bookkeeping with us means:

✔️ Just 2 hours per week minimum
✔️ You only pay for the hours you actually need
✔️ No sick leave or annual leave to cover
✔️ No employee overheads
✔️ Cancel anytime

So instead of spending your time buried in spreadsheets, you can get back to doing the things that actually move your business forward.

The best bit?
Outsourcing your bookkeeping could actually SAVE you money. 💰

There’s something about spring that makes you want to get your life together.

Clean the house.
Declutter the cupboards.
Buy approximately 14 new indoor plants. 🌿

So why not give your BUSINESS a little spring clean too?

Take a fresh look at your finances and ask:

👉 Are all your invoices up to date?
👉 Are there any outstanding payments you need to chase?
👉 Are you still paying for software you barely use?
👉 Are your accounts reconciled?
👉 Do you actually know how your cash flow is looking?

You don’t need to overhaul everything.
Sometimes a good tidy-up is all it takes to feel more organised, more in control and ready for the season ahead.

And if your business finances are currently sitting in the “I’ll deal with that later” pile…

Hi 👋
We can help with that 😉

We recently came across this lovely feedback from 2018, and it made us smile 💙

"Just had some Xero training with Libby from My Office Girl Ltd. We just sorted and reconciled all my accounts from April 2018 to present in just 2 hours, right from training to actually doing them together. Highly recommended!!! Will use her services again in the near future 🙂 Thanks from Jenna at Little Kiwi Linguist."

While a lot has changed since 2018, one thing hasn't:

We're still passionate about helping Kiwi businesses feel more confident with their bookkeeping and business systems!

Whether it's Xero setup and training, bookkeeping support or helping business owners get their accounts back on track, our goal has always been the same: to make managing your finances simpler, less stressful and more empowering.

A huge thank you to Jenna for the kind words all those years ago, and to all of our wonderful clients who have trusted us over the years. We truly appreciate your support 🙏

Need a hand with Xero, bookkeeping or streamlining your financial systems? We'd love to help. Get in touch with the MyOfficeGirl team today.
