What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Accuracy and reliability in day-to-day bookkeeping are the qualities that surface first in accounts from clients of this Ballarat practice, and Margy is the name that appears most often in that feedback. Those she works with describe her as honest, approachable and genuinely interested in how their businesses run, and they value the way she translates compliance obligations and business matters into plain language. Her remit spans payroll, superannuation, invoicing and general accounts, serving sole traders, law firms and shared clients whose tax preparation benefits from records that are orderly and current.

Knowledge of the SCHADS award is highlighted by a client of long standing, and several reviewers describe stepping in to cover a regular bookkeeper's leave as a smooth changeover with little need for briefing. Detailed attention to figures recurs as a theme, as do practical suggestions for improving record keeping and gentle guidance when clients' own habits need tightening. Deadlines are met and queries answered, giving business owners confidence that the numbers are sound. Teaching clients to understand their own books is an element of the service that comes through repeatedly as well.

The books that Margy looks after for shared clients makes life so much easier when it comes to the tax prep. Always a pleasure to work with.

Margy from Absolutely Scrupulous stepped in to cover our bookkeeping while our regular bookkeeper was on leave, and she was brilliant. She got up to speed with minimal handover, was accurate and thorough with the accounts, and communicated clearly throughout - honestly, it felt seamless. Would recommend her without hesitation to any business needing reliable locum bookkeeping support.

Since I started my own business 3 years ago Margy has been instrumental in assisting me with the complexities of the compliance system and all things business related. I have found Margy to be very trustworthy and reliable from day one. Margy talks in laymans terms and makes things easy to understand. Thanks Margy

Margy has done book keeping for my law firm in the past and I could not recommend her more highly. She really gets to know you and your business, has great attention to detail and comes up with some great ideas. I could not recommend her more highly!

I have been using Margy for our payroll & super for the past 7 years and could not be happier with her service. She is reliable & knowledgeable with the SCHADS award. I find her efficient and always willing to help with any queries. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing payroll is handled correctly and on time. Highly recommend her to any business looking for a trustworthy and professional bookkeeper. Thanks Margy - Barbara Broughton. Browen Lee Homes
