About Jarna Cherry – the Owner

About 19 years ago I took over the paperwork from my mum for her direct selling business.  I’ve stood beside her, watching her enthusiasm for educating people and following her heart. I decided to help her out with the part of her business she hated, her paperwork. Little did I know, those numbers would spark a lifelong passion and become my professional career.

Every day for as long as I can remember, I would indulge my passion for numbers, my love of logic or my delight in solving a mystery.  After giving birth to my first child, I decided to go back to school. My enthusiasm for numbers and logic was my push into the accounting area.  I enrolled in an online course and got a full time job. Then I asked my employer if, at 29, I could do a traineeship. She agreed and I completed my traineeship in Cert IV Financial Services – Bookkeeping. I finally had the piece of paper that said I CAN DO THIS!

Since then, the number of framed certificates on my wall has grown. Now, along with the Financial Services certificate is my BAS Agent certification, Australian Bookkeepers Association (ABA) membership, Australian Bookkeepers Network (ABN) membership,  Xero certification, Xero payroll certificate, ABN and business name certifications.

Since I entered the workforce at 15, I have always put 100% into every position I’ve had.  Loyal to my employer and customers to a fault I’ve been told. I’ve spent extended periods of time specialising in business administration and accounts, claiming duty drawbacks and utilising the Tradex Scheme, customer service, direct selling and of course bookkeeping.

I get excited helping people to get rid of the backlog of work and catch up, then helping putting a system in place to keep the paperwork under control in a way that works for them and making it easy.

I’d love to be able to help you too!
