If you’re ever after a pick-me-up and a bit of a giggle – Lizzie’s your solution. Being named the team’s impact player, Lizzie is our go-to guru for Xero training, offering business solutions & efficiencies and just helping you make sense of the numbers.
Packed with positivity and breaking all the accounting stereotypes, Lizzie is a multi-talented breath of fresh air, who does it all with a positive attitude and a smile on her face.
Lizzie’s passion for life, laughter and fun makes you question all the assumptions you have about accountants.
Lizzie graduated from Auckland University where she gained a Bachelor of Commerce, with majors in Finance and Economics.

She has over 20 years of accounting, management and auditing experience, with her last job working as the Group Financial Manager for one of South Africa’s largest privately owned construction companies.

Lilanie takes a real interest in how a client’s business operates, what makes them tick and loves the reward of being able to help in any possible way she can. She loves sharing knowledge, and also learning from others!
When she is not being an “accountant” by day, she loves spending time with her husband and kids and taking the opportunity to explore every bit of this beautiful country they now call home.
