Here is what our clients say about us.
Belinda Foster – Collaborate
“Hayley is amazing. Our business is niche and Hayley got it straight away. She got straight into streamlining our books, tidying the accounts so we had good flow and she set us up so our financials made sense.
What this meant for me was a huge weight off my shoulders, she showed us the ins and outs and provided big-picture thinking. This enabled us to focus on profitability in a very streamlined way. It meant relief and 100% empowerment.
Hayley triple dots her ‘i’s’ and crosses every ‘t’. She is proactive with ideas, she made our business better and create a plan that was also best for our clients.
She is authentic, straight up and we would recommend her to any business looking to sort things out.”
Angela Nichol - Pure Skin Care Therapy
“working with Hayley has been so great, she has been really good. I went into business quite green and Hayley helped me understand the numbers. She was so accommodating, she even made me pie charts to help me understand.
I loved meeting every month to go through the numbers, exchange ideas, gain her opinion. This monthly catch up was so valuable.
Working with Hayley helped the business because month to month we would meet for one hour and we could anticipate, look for holes and keep an eye on how we were tracking. We kept a careful eye on the results and the business grew as a result.
I love Hayley’s energy; she is fabulous! No question is too odd, she is energised and she would often ring me out of the blue with new ideas. She was always thinking of ways to help. She was proactive, fun and our time together was enormously helpful for both me and the business”.
Hannah Walker – Proppy Management
“We have worked with Hayley since starting our business, she has been with us from the start helping us with our accounting, management accounts and providing good advice.
She has always been there to answer our questions, guide us and help us with our business.
Like me she is straight up, she tells it like it is and we like that.”
Jo Lynch - Jolt Marketing
“I have known and worked alongside Hayley for several years. I love her energy, drive and clear directive.
She has not only supported me in my marketing businesses, she has also worked alongside me developing my accounting knowledge to support immense business growth and systems overhauls in other businesses.
She has worked through complex issues, streamlined and set up very sophisticated reporting systems. The rework meant we could manage profitability and drive revenue always knowing where we were at.
I have recommended Hayley to several businesses, all of which she has also driven to success. She is ambitious, fun and completely knows her stuff”.
Sam Cooper - Arc Wānaka
“Hayley was recommended by my neighbour. She’s been great! She helped us write a budget, understand different support we were eligible for and get us up and away.
Hayley had an impact on the business by highlighting the changes and improvement s we could make. She set up profit centres so we could track profitability and hone on the details We met through the year to keep things on track and running smoothly.
The thing we love best about Hayley is she is down to earth. The business is named perfectly for her, she is ambitious, always does what she says she is going to do and is a force. She goes hard is direct and we trust her completely!”
Luisa Apanui – Photographer
“I cannot say enough good things about Hayley. She is sweet and nice and fun to work with. We didn’t know where to start, so after Covid and Hayley helped us set up correctly, reshaping the business from operating as a Sole Trader to a Limited Liability Company.
Once we had the entity and structure right, we worked together on a strategy and focus to create a business plan. We brainstormed ideas on where the business was going, look at the opportunities and gain clarity on the direction. Once we knew where we were going, she showed us how to get there. From there she walked alongside us checking in every three months to see we were on track giving us tips along the way.
Hayley is not a normal accountant!! In my experience accountants have been boring men, they were a bit stuffy, but Hayley was different. She is energetic, exciting and positive. The numbers get her eyes glowing. I love her passion, energy and drive to help. She is knowledgeable, nice and sweet.”

We like face-to-face meetings, we are a bit old school that way; these meetings have been so beneficial. We have found the communications to be really good overall.

Ben
“Hayley is very good at her job. She brings a new view from the outside and her and her team are great. The Management Reports made all the difference and we knew she was only a phone call away.
Hayleys helped us to take a zoomed out view of the business and of the future, we planned, 2, 3 and 5 years ahead with goals and plans. Then she helped us stay on track with those goals and track our progress.
She was great for our business growth and helped us always keep an eye on the goals. She is easy to talk to and honest; she is great!”
Bruce
“I have really enjoyed working with Hayley. She is professional and knowledgeable; she brought her corporate knowledge to our small business and this has been an enormous advantage. She is relatable, always available and such a pleasant and fun lady.
I always looked forward to our monthly meetings, they are fun. She is by the book, straight down the line and we would hugely recommend her. She knows her field, gives good advice and her management reports have been so useful.
One really different thing we love about Hayley is she is a connector, she has a network and she link us to other businesses that work for us. She connects us with other high-performing people and this has been great for business.”
