Why choose ‘The Admin Go-to’ as your administration support partner

A bit about me...

After we sold our family business in the construction industry, where I’d been managing the office, accounts and administration support I was out of a job for the first time – ever! I decided to take a break and explore the world for a few years.

When I came back home it seemed like a good idea to formalise all my experience so I went to EIT and graduated three years later with a Bachelor of Business Studies (Accounting) degree. Going back in to the workforce, I started with what I knew best – business admin and accounts. I went to a full-time job and when an old workmate needed a hand with a charitable trust to get their office systems and bookkeeping etc. in order, I took that on as well.

After finishing the full-time role, providing an independent administration service seemed like a natural progression. So, there I was, in my own new business with one client! Admittedly it was a bit strange working from home initially, and being on my own, but my client base grew. With referrals from people I knew, I started spending time in my clients’ offices as well, managing and operating their administration systems – becoming one of their team.

Professional, efficient and dedicated to helping you get the most out of your business administration and accounting practices. I can take the stress out of debtors, creditors and filing your GST returns, plus a whole lot more.

Your virtual assistant

Five years on, I've found the magic in all of this is seeing how I can help a business to operate more efficiently. In some cases this has been coming back from the brink of failure. It is a great reward seeing the results they can achieve, with great admin and accounts processes, and with regular reporting to help them stay on top of their numbers.

These days, people in my kind of business are also working as virtual assistants, offering virtual admin support via Zoom and bookkeeping services via cloud-based platforms like Xero, all around New Zealand and the world.

If keeping your books and office work up to date effortlessly sounds like something you’d find useful in your business, why not give me a call? I can help you with bookkeeping services and administration support and look forward to having a chat sometime.

In my business it’s all about you and your business! Let’s play TAG!

The Admin ‘Go-to’

You don't have to believe us - see what our clients say:

Leanne Collins | Volunteering Hawke's Bay

Avril has exceeded our expectations as she is not just about numbers. We have developed a relationship that is respectful, trustworthy and above all fun. Avril has a wonderful sense of humour and explains information clearly and her advice is always welcomed.

Avril’s time management is another asset, and her timely completion of tasks and availability of her time has been appreciated. Avril goes the extra mile when it comes to the businesses and not for profit groups she looks after, she readily makes appointments to discuss any issues or concerns we may have.

I would recommend Avril for any business, I know she can and does work with small and corporate businesses and not for profits. I have found her so much fun and her knowledge in book-keeping is second to none. I have no hesitation in recommending her to any future client.

Michelle Kittow | Dahuti International Ltd

We employ the services of Avril from TAG in our administration and accounting team. Her depth of accounting knowledge and general administration experience means that she can step into almost any task. This offers us the flexibility to ensure we have the right cover in place for staff to take leave and for Avril to be responsible for daily specific accounting functions.

We have found Avril takes ownership of her responsibilities and we are confident that the work is done accurately, timely and to our expectations without the requirement of supervision. Although she provides a contracted service, Avril has been reliable and we have the confidence of knowing that she will prioritise workflow and get the job done.

Avril offers a professional approach to our business contacts and staff, she works in well with our team and office environment, is always willing to assist, and we consider her to be part of the team.

TAG testimonial from Michelle Kittow - Dahuti International

Renae Monroy | Cycle Nation

Before we met Avril, our books were an absolute mess. Avril advised on processes and workflow to help keep things on track. Prioritising time for bookkeeping is hard in a small business, so by offloading some of our day-to-day bookkeeping to Avril, she has helped us get over a very messy bump in our bookkeeping records. Now things run smoothly and we can concentrate on other things to grow our business.

Avril is professional, knowledgeable, very thorough and patient. It has been such a relief to work with someone that understands the pressures of small business, her work really has been invaluable to us. I highly recommend Avril’s services.

Ricky Young | Proelectrical Ltd

We have been working with TAG for close to 5 years. We engaged with Avril requiring admin support after a company re-structure. The key aspects we were looking for in the role were someone professional, friendly and reliable able to take charge of the accounts payable, receivable and employee payroll. Avril quickly learnt our systems and procedures and settled into the team, and has a great rapport with all of our staff.

Avril exceeded our expectations by writing a detailed step by step scope of the role with weekly and monthly requirements and has good attention to detail, ensuring all accounts are accurate and correct, saving our money where it counts. She completes every task with a smile, and I would highly recommend Avril and her services.
