MyOfficeGirl is a Christchurch-based bookkeeping company offering outsourced bookkeeping, software set up and training for New Zealand SMEs. Founded by Amy Evans and Libby Baker in 2013, the business started with just two clients working from a sleepout and has grown into a team of bookkeeping professionals now managing the needs of 120+ clients nationwide.
The team offers a full suite of bookkeeping solutions, from day-to-day accounts receivable and payable through to bank reconciliation, job tracking, monthly reporting, cashflow and budget preparation, and GST management. MyOfficeGirl also specialises in payroll and software set up, holding Gold Partner status with Xero and supporting systems including iPayroll, Smartly, Fergus, Tradify and Hubdoc.
Based at 287 Hoon Hay Road in Christchurch, the team works with clients both in person and remotely via video chat, email and phone, serving businesses nationwide with 5 or more staff and turnover between $1-10m. MyOfficeGirl operates with zero lock-in contracts and a minimum commitment of just 2 hours per week, positioning itself as a flexible, locally-owned alternative to in-house admin staff.
MyOfficeGirl started in 2013 when friends Amy Evans and Libby Baker set out to bring a fresh approach to bookkeeping, a business they felt was often perceived as boring. Working from Libby's sleepout with just two clients, the pair built a business around the idea that a great bookkeeper is more than accurate and efficient - they're the lifeblood of a successful business.
Over the past decade, that vision has grown MyOfficeGirl into a team of bookkeeping professionals based in Christchurch, now managing the needs of more than 120 clients across New Zealand. The company works with businesses across a wide range of industries, including retail, hospitality, tourism, construction, project management, insurance and not-for-profit organisations.
MyOfficeGirl's core offering is outsourced bookkeeping - accounts receivable and payable, bank reconciliation, job tracking, monthly reporting, cashflow and budget preparation, and GST management. The team takes care of the day-to-day numbers so business owners can focus on running their business rather than chasing invoices or filing returns.
Software expertise is a major part of the service too. MyOfficeGirl holds Gold Partner status with Xero, offering set up, conversions and training, and also supports payroll systems including iPayroll, Smartly and Xero Payroll. For businesses that need job management tools, the team can advise on and set up systems like Fergus, Tradify and Simpro, integrating them with Xero where needed.
The company describes its values with five F-words: Focused, Fierce, Fresh, Family and Flexible - reflecting a team that puts relationships first and prides itself on expertise, honesty and transparency. Clients and their testimonials describe a team that goes above and beyond with bookkeeping, forecasting and general business support, rather than simply crunching numbers.
The team behind MyOfficeGirl includes co-founders Libby and Amy, General Manager Lisa, and bookkeepers Rach, Carolyn, Becs and Tam - several bringing 20+ years of experience in accounts and office administration to the table.
MyOfficeGirl is based at 287 Hoon Hay Road in Christchurch, but the team works with clients nationwide, connecting virtually via email, phone and video conference regardless of location. The company is best suited to New Zealand businesses with 5 or more staff and turnover between $1-10m, and operates with zero lock-in contracts and a minimum commitment of just 2 hours per week.
Whether a business needs ongoing day-to-day bookkeeping, a one-off Xero set up, or a custom package covering several services at once, MyOfficeGirl positions itself as a cost-effective alternative to hiring in-house admin staff - giving Kiwi SMEs access to experienced bookkeeping support without the overhead.
