Helping you take control of your business numbers — without the stress
Running a business is demanding enough without worrying about bookkeeping and financial admin. Most business owners didn’t start their business to do the books — but your numbers tell the real story of how your business is performing.
At SmartDesk, Liz leads a small team that brings calm, clarity, and continuity to your business finances. They’re not just there to keep your books up to date — they help you stay organised, understand your numbers, and make confident business decisions.
“When clients tell me they finally feel in control again — that’s when I know we’ve made a difference.” — Liz
SmartDesk works exclusively in Xero, and Liz is a Level 2: Xero Certified Professional, ensuring clients receive expert, up-to-date guidance.

“I treat every client’s business as if it were my own. Accuracy matters — but so does understanding.” — Liz
Sometimes you don’t need a bookkeeper — you just need someone to show you how to do things right. Liz has trained hundreds of business owners, bookkeepers, and even students at Unitec in how to get the best out of Xero.
Liz offers one-on-one Xero training sessions for business owners that can cover:
Everyday use and time-saving shortcuts

Setting up automation for invoicing, payroll, and reporting

If you’ve hit a wall or something just doesn’t look right, Liz can jump in, tidy it up, and explain what happened — so it makes sense next time.
Worried your Xero file might be a bit of a mess — or years of incomplete accounts? You’re not alone.
At SmartDesk, Liz and her team run a detailed Xero health check to review your accounts, spot inconsistencies, and recommend what needs attention. They will resolve the issues or guide you through getting everything back on track — so you have a clean, reliable set of accounts.
Identify duplicate transactions, coding errors, or GST issues

Review data entry processes to prevent future mistakes
Provide clear recommendations and next steps
