Had my bookkeeping done by Sam at Elephant. He has a wealth of knowledge and provided excellent advice that has greatly helped me with my financial decisions. I highly recommend him and the company for bookkeeping services.

"Oz and Sam were enormously generous with their time in helping me with my taxes. Oz was always available to take my calls and answer questions despite my limited bookkeeping knowledge. Would strongly recommend them to anyone who's looking for good people to be their bookkeeper. Thanks guys!"

A tradie client success story

In 2018, we were approached by an electrician who had started a small business as a sole trader.

The client had plans to grow but didn’t know where to start, so we completed a business structure review and helped him restructure to a company. We then helped the client get set up with Xero to track his financial information in real-time, as well as establish a clear budget and prepare for the business’s first hire.

Five years on, the business has grown to 10 employees, with over 50% growth year on year. To ensure our client’s ongoing profitability and success, we continue to provide assistance on project management, invoicing, tax, and quotation of projects resulting in better profits and margins.
