Hills businessman “stoked” with Bookkeeping service

When Mark Morris thinks back to the time before his Uraidla Pantry business used Tashly Consulting, it paints an uneasy mental picture. Back then, Mark experienced many sleepless nights, worried “that the tax man would come knocking on the door”.

Previously, the bookkeeping for the popular Hills general store had not been up to scratch, leaving the experienced businessman in a “horrible” situation.

“They didn’t explain what they were doing, and they weren’t keeping me informed of what needed to be paid,” Mark said.

“It was a mis-mash of different companies, different services. They weren’t notifying me on taxes, on GST, on superannuation… records weren’t being kept – it was a complete mess.

“I was paying them, but I didn’t know what was going on financially – with my own business.”

Uraidla Pantry is the heart of the charming Adelaide Hills town, combining a café, post office, and general store. It’s a popular place where community spirit is strong and locals can come together.

“I like people and I enjoy working for myself,” Mark said.
“It’s one thing to run a business and enjoy doing what you do, but you can’t do it all. I don’t know everything. That’s why people like me need people like Tashly’s.”

After engaging Tashly’s Bookkeeping Rescue service, Mark’s business position became clearer – and brighter. With solid technological systems and know-how in place, Team Tashly rallied to reconstruct a year’s worth of the store’s business data and migrate the figures across to a new system.

In Mark’s case, he credits Tashly with “going above and beyond”. The uncertainty and unease he once experienced is long gone.
“It’s a pleasure to work with them. Tashly’s do more than what an ordinary bookkeeping company does,” he said.
“I know everything is being done now. I get my emails, I get my phone calls, I can ring any time – it’s just made my life a lot easier because I know they’re handling everything.
“I can ring up anyone in the office and I know they’ll help me.”

Tashly Consulting’s Bookkeeping Rescue package can help businesses with:
● Clearing backlogs of transactions in Xero
● Cleaning up Xero files
● Reviewing current systems and processes
● Lodging overdue tax obligations
● Reconciling payroll and super obligations
● Producing accurate, up-to-date reports

Tashly Consulting’s Founder and Director, Natasha Sampson-Ly, says success stories like Mark’s are what fuels her team to strive for the very best client outcomes.
Each and every time.

“A lot of bookkeepers are solopreneurs. As a professional business, we have a team and systems and processes in place,” Natasha said.
“We worked hard to provide an amazing experience for Mark. He’s absolutely stoked – and so are we.”

Mark sums up his partnership with Tashly with two words – “care” and “trust”.

“At the end of the day, we’re not just another number. I know Tashly’s care about my business just as much as I do. We both want the same outcomes and Tashly’s helps me get those outcomes.”
