Mary came to us after her old bookkeeper left and she discovered her accounts were in disarray. She was worried there may have been some fraudulent behaviour.

The only way for us to detect this was to go back to base records and reconstruct the financials. Which sounds extreme but there are times when it is easier and cheaper to simply start over.

Luckily, we found no evidence of fraud – it was just a case of some very messy bookkeeping. With some education and training, Mary developed a deeper understanding of her business and understood her important areas to monitor.
