It has been a privilege supporting one of my valued clients with their accounts over the past 9 years. Long-term relationships like this are the heart of my business, and I’m grateful for the trust placed in me.

Today, I was humbled to receive this beautiful gift hamper from my client and his wife as a gesture of thanks. Their thoughtfulness is truly appreciated. 💝

✨ I’ve been working on something exciting! ✨

Using my own dummy dataset, I recreated dashboards in Power BI based on the BlueRock WorkflowMax data format. These dashboards let me dig into staff time, job profitability, and cost allocations in a really visual, interactive way.

The best part? I can filter by staff, job, or time period and watch the numbers instantly update. 🚀

This is just the start — I’ll continue to build and showcase more dummy dashboards using data structures from:
📊 Cin7
📊 Bustle
📊 When I Work
📊 Kaseya

It’s a great way to demonstrate how data can be transformed into clear, insightful reporting tools for any business.

💥 Is your bookkeeping costing you more than it should — in time, money, and lost insight?

We helped one business replace a full in-house finance team with a streamlined, outsourced setup — saving them 23% on overheads 💰

But it gets better…

We also helped them recover over $75,000 in lost sales from unbilled costs — just by tidying up their books and putting the right checks in place ✅

And once the data was clean? We built them beautiful Power BI dashboards that show exactly how the business is performing — in real time.

📉 Less cost
📊 Better data
🚀 Smarter decisions

That’s the Girl Friday way.

It’s not every day you get to meet and shake hands with the Prime Minister. I was truly honoured to be invited to a lunch event where I had the opportunity to meet Christopher Luxon in person and hear him speak about the important work currently underway. A memorable and inspiring experience!

When she arrived in New Zealand from South Africa in 2010 with her husband David and three children, she had no extended family to lean on. Sick days, school holidays, and the unpredictability of young children made traditional employment difficult.

Some out of the ordinary days at the office yesterday and today!!! I had a scare with my princess Lacey just before work yesterday which had me rushing her to the vet before a Board meeting with a client. So for the first time in my career, ended up taking a mascot with to a Board meeting! 🐾🐾 And today I had my photo shoot for some fresh website photos. Weather held out and as the last photo was taken… the heavens opened up and baptised us 🤣😂

I am currently working on developing Power BI dashboards for six clients, and I truly enjoy the process of transforming raw data—just a sea of numbers in a spreadsheet or database—into meaningful, visual insights. It's incredibly rewarding to see how powerful and impactful data visualisation can be. Below is a sneak peek at two pages from two different ongoing projects I'm working on.
