Get Summed Up is a small service business on Radley Street in Woolston, Christchurch, with a perfect 5.0 Google rating — the kind of score regulars hand out when the sums add up. As the name suggests, it sits on the bookkeeping and account-keeping side of small-business support.
The trade is quieter than most, but it keeps a business upright. Good bookkeepers reconcile accounts regularly, stay ahead of GST and PAYE deadlines, and hand the accountant clean records at year end, which tends to shorten the bill. Many New Zealand small firms run on Xero or MYOB, so it is worth asking what a provider is fluent in. Regulars usually settle on someone who explains in plain English and prefers short monthly sessions to a shoebox once a year.
For Woolston's workshops, trades and one-person operations, having that sort of help just off Ferry Road on Radley Street is a handy thing to have on the doorstep.
