Was your New Year resolution to get your leisure time back??

Sue from Sue Gray, Virtual Assistant

How about you let me take care of your bookkeeping, admin and payroll - and you get to enjoy family time on your evenings and weekends, instead of paperwork and admin?

How about you let me take care of your bookkeeping, admin and payroll - and you get to enjoy family time on your evenings and weekends, instead of paperwork and admin?

Have you considered hiring a Virtual Assistant to take care of your office admin and bookkeeping? Do you know that hiring a Virtual Assistant is way cheaper than employing another staff member??

I’m a Certified Bookkeeper and Xero advisor, well versed in general office admin, lover of creating and following processes, payroll, paperless offices and possibly slightly OCD about numbers.

I’ve been around trades-based businesses for 20+ years, as an owner and/or office manager, so I know what’s involved in running these businesses (and I’m used to bad language and politically incorrect jokes!).

Hello Everybody,

My partner and I are around home this holiday season, and we would like to offer to help out neighbours while they are away. In the past we have reached out to locals for the feeding and caring of our cat.

Happy to do:
1. Pet feeding - Neighbourly cats that like to stay at home for peace and quiet (we have one of these), while their cat family are away. Will consider dogs.
2. Plant Watering - Neighbours have some amazing gardens in Mount Cook that need care while people are away; outdoor and indoor considered.
3. Dog Walking - Just exercise them when you are not around or more if they are little. My partner loves dogs, Dachshund's get extra care from her.
4. Local house - security check outside etc. with report.

We are local people, live in the area (near Willis, Aro, Thompson, Webb and Nairn Streets etc.), reliable professional people working in the city, that are keen to help out. Very trustworthy etc. No set fees, happy to help out.

Anyway we are around, please reach out if you have any more questions.

Have yourself a happy holiday neighbours!

Thank you, Rob and Jess
