Before I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Adminicle, keeping books for my company had always been somewhat problematic. They are so clear now that I have a sound grasp of 'the financials'; data is readily entered, and clear information obtained easily. Best of all, the books take far less time to maintain than before.

As a small business owner, it's important to me to have the books straight, for the 'the taxman' as well as myself. I'd often been frustrated by the time demands, my lack of skill and the poor results I'd got from using other bookkeepers, yet as a consultant in a demanding field, my time can be much better occupied on consulting.

My previous experiences in outsourcing bookkeeping ranged from "not bad" to just plain dreadful. Too many bookkeepers mistake a bit of skill with a software package or the ability to reconcile a bank account with actually understanding what's involved in business financials and proper keeping of books. Fortunately for me, that's all now a thing of the past.

Janeen Cameron has been a real find: highly professional, delightful to work with, ready, willing and able to remove any problems or difficult areas, and an excellent teacher. Her approach is client-centered, highly practical and she never stops looking for ways to improve. These are all attributes that I value highly, but they are hard to find.

Janeen first worked with me to understand the nature of my business, and then restructured the company accounts and associated tasks with my input. They are now easy for me to understand and work with, and aligned with the accountant's. Accounts Receivable and Payable are no problem. Payroll is a snip. Even completing the BAS is no longer a dreaded task and takes only a fraction of the time it used to.

She has devised ways to simplify formerly cumbersome tasks, and coached me in more effective ways to use the accounting package and handle some formerly tricky tasks effectively. Which all means that I can avoid spending a lot of time on it, and get the information I need quickly.

My accountant is delighted and highly complimentary about the state of the company accounts: they are now so well structured and maintained that end of year returns are simplified, which reduces their time and also cost.

I am more than happy to recommend Adminicle's services unreservedly. Would that all bookkeeping firms were even half as good.
