We know what we are doing, and we get it done!

Your Bookkeeping Specialist: Nicole Hands 


  • Diploma in Business and Accounting 
  • Qualified Accounting Technician 
  • Member of CAANZ


Born and raised in Mid Canterbury, I have 9 years of experience in Public Practice and 5 years as a Company Accountant. I am passionate about helping clients ease their workload and handle the grunt work of their bookkeeping so they can focus on what they need to do to ensure their business continues to excel. 

Why choose us?

We are based in Mid Canterbury, and our service model ranges from working at your business or farm, remotely, or in our boardroom. We cater to what works best for our clients.


My husband and I have three young children and run a flooring business. I also volunteer on the Mid Canterbury Netball Board and serve as the Treasurer for the local Fire Brigade. 

Bookkeeping is the essential foundation for your success.

We support businesses to ensure their financial data is up to date and accurate. We handle tasks such as coding bank transactions, managing accounts payable, and assisting with invoicing and GST preparation. In short, we do the grunt work!
