What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Festival Bookkeeping draws consistent praise for the meticulous accuracy that Sarina and her colleague Sharna apply to client accounts. Reviews regularly refer to a professional, courteous and approachable manner, with questions answered promptly and progress updates shared as work moves along. Many describe how the team handles bookkeeping, payroll and taxation obligations, leaving owners reassured that these areas are in safe hands. A point made in several accounts is the patient instruction given when establishing and tailoring Xero, including linking it to specialist clinical software for a healthcare practice, followed by ongoing training.

Clients value the forward planning, with timely reminders allowing information to be gathered without pressure, and the cost of the service is described as fair. Those who have stayed for years speak of confidence and dependability, while more recent clients note how straightforward it was to move away from handling their own records. Monthly business meetings and business activity statement work also appear in feedback, alongside the team's evident commitment to each client's financial progress.

All allied health professionals - if you’re looking for a bookkeeping business who understands our industry and the integrations with the practice management software we use, speak to Festival Bookkeeping! They can help you remotely too! Festival bookkeeping went above and beyond to ensure that the bookkeeping side of my business was setup correctly from the start and I couldn’t thank them enough when it came to tax time because it had been done properly! Excellent value service, thanks Sarina! 🙏

Sarina and her team have looked after our business for quite a while now. We were recommended by a friend and we were not disappointed! Sarina and Sharna always get back to us super quickly and everything they do is extremely thorough. They are always on the ball, deliver great communication and set their standards very high. I am so glad we found Festival Bookkeeping, they make our lives so much easier! Thank you

I highly recommend working with Festival Bookkeeping. I have just moved from using a spreadsheet to using Xero, which is a big leap for a small business. However, with the excellent support and tuition from Sarina Abbott from Festival Bookkeeping, I have been in great hands. Sarina set everything up for me, has provided tailored coaching and has been very responsive to my many questions. Her approach is personable, thoughtful and professional. I feel much more empowered in this space thanks to Sarina. Kerry Pienaar

I began using the services of Sarina at Festival Bookkeeping a few months ago to assist with streamlining my Xero processing to save my time for other important tasks in the business and it was the best decision I could have made. It keeps me accountable to upload receipts and invoices on a regular basis and keeps my accounts up to date so that I can gain a snapshot of my financial position at any point in time. Their service is great, friendly, thorough and professional. Thanks Sarina for assisting me with my business.

I've had the pleasure of sitting alongside Sarina each month at business meetings, and her passion for delivering exceptional service to her clients is truly inspiring. With meticulous attention to detail and a genuine commitment to their financial success, she sets herself apart. I have no hesitation in recommending Festival Bookkeeping to anyone in need of a dedicated, thorough, efficient and passionate bookkeeper.

Would recommend Sarina in a heartbeat. She has provided me with a great service by communicating with me frequently, updating me regularly and guiding me throughout every process. She explains things clearly and easily to understand (for those who aren't savvy in this area like myself) the whole process has been very stress free.
