Dec 04, 2019 Report

Maggie is a keen professional who doesn't shy away from a challenge. When starting with Synergy as our bookkeeper, she tidied the accounts and closely managed the numbers. Our accounts are particularly complicated, but she took on every challenge, learning new methods to ensure we had what we needed. She has a network of accountants and attends resourceful functions to keep her knowledge up to date within her industry. I have worked closely with Maggie for the past year and enjoyed getting to know her. Many thanks

I find Maggie at Purple Bookkeeping very passionate about her work and extremely knowledgeable. It makes perfect sense to me, to outsource to someone who loves this type of work and handle this side of my business as I dont have the same enthusiasm. I love this as it frees my mind to do the things in my business that I love. Highly recommended.
