The Heart of Good Business
A busy business isn't necessarily a profitable business. If you're working your butt off but there's never enough money in the bank, something needs to change. We help business owners turn hard work into real profit, not just more turnover.
I work with small business owners who are great at what they do, but sometimes struggle to understand where all their hard-earned money goes. They're often busy running their businesses, making sales and paying bills, but not necessarily seeing the profit or cash in the bank that they'd expect. I help them get their heads around their numbers, improve their cash flow and profitability, and feel more confident making decisions about their business. Whether they're just finding their feet or have been in business for years, I love working with business owners who want to take control of their finances and build a business that actually rewards them for all their hard work.
Too many business owners work incredibly hard, make good sales, but still struggle to find enough money to pay the bills, cover tax and pay themselves properly. I help them understand where their money is going, what's eating into their profits and what needs to change, so they can stop worrying about money and start getting ahead.
I've been a business owner myself, so I understand the challenges of running a business, not just the numbers. I'm a Chartered Accountant and Certified Profit First Professional, and I specialise in helping business owners turn their hard work into actual profit and cash in the bank. I keep things practical, speak plain English and focus on what really matters to the business owner.
Our sweet spot is small, owner-operated businesses, particularly those in the trades, automotive and service industries. We love working with established business owners who are good at what they do, want to grow a profitable business and are ready to get serious about managing their money. They don't need to be financial experts, just willing to learn and make changes.
More cash in the bank, better profits and fewer sleepless nights worrying about money. Our clients gain confidence in their numbers, clarity around where their money is going and practical strategies to get ahead. They can make better business decisions, pay themselves properly and spend more time doing what they love, knowing their finances are under control.
The constant scramble to find money for tax, wages and bills. Making good sales but wondering where all the money has gone. Making business decisions based on gut feel rather than knowing the numbers, and working harder and harder without seeing the financial rewards. We help business owners get ahead of these problems, rather than waiting until there's a cash flow crisis to do something about them.
At Pulse Accountants, we're about much more than tax returns and financial statements. We work alongside small business owners to help them understand their numbers, improve cash flow, grow their profits and make better business decisions. Of course, we take care of the everyday accounting, tax and Xero stuff too, but what we really love is helping business owners get on top of their finances and build businesses that work for them, not the other way around. We're a friendly, down-to-earth team who believe accounting should be about conversations, practical advice and real relationships, not just ticking boxes once a year.
We take care of the accounting essentials, from annual accounts and tax returns to Xero, bookkeeping and payroll, but that's just the starting point. Where we really add value is working alongside business owners to understand their numbers, manage cash flow and improve profitability. Through regular business reviews, practical advice and Profit First coaching, we help turn those numbers into better decisions and more money in the bank. Think of us as your accounting team and business sounding board, all rolled into one.
I'm a Venus member because I believe that great relationships are essential for small business owners. I enjoy connecting with others in business and sharing our experiences of being small business owners. I have been a member before and found the personal development side of things invaluable for my growth.

"When we first met Gail a few years ago, through the previous accountants we were with, we instantly connected with her on a business and personal level.... When Gail rang and said she was starting her own Company we felt relief, finally we had someone that actually cared about us and our Company. Within a couple of weeks of Gail taking our books over we actually felt we were finally getting on top of things. We feel no stress and know Gail is watching out for us and our Company, so we can go to work and know the accounting side of things is sorted. We hope we never lose Gail and Pulse Accountants."

Latest News: We've got payroll covered! Payroll shouldn't be a guessing game! We've recently added a payroll specialist to the Pulse team, and we're pretty excited about it! Payroll is one of those things that looks simple until it isn't. Between holiday pay, sick leave, public holidays and ever-changing employment rules, there's plenty of room for things to go wrong. And some of the payroll mistakes we see are a little scary! Having someone who really knows their stuff means we can take the stress out of payroll for our clients, help them get it right and avoid costly mistakes. If you're doing your own payroll and crossing your fingers that it's right, perhaps it's time we had a chat!
