Our Team

Traditionally, accounting firms work with figures by working backwards after the end of the financial year. Because of the structure within Business Roundup you have access to a team that brings a different set of skills that compliments the rest and ensures support at cost effective rates throughout.

Sue Thomas
Sue Thomas
Founder / Software installer / Mobile trainer & bookkeeper

I predominately work with software conversions and bookkeeping troubleshooting but support my staff and our business owners when needed or managing their bookkeeping requirements on a regular basis.

I’ve worked with all the leading software packages over the 17 years of running Business Roundup but my preference is working with Xero. Being Xero Certified in both Xero Accounting and Xero Payroll I am equipped to support those new to business or converting to another accounting package or just there when trouble hits and support is needed to fix something.

I love working with people to problem solve and streamline their systems etc. It’s in my DNA and I love it! My husband Ian and I moved from Nelson to be closer to our children who both live in Canterbury and we’re now living & working from Rolleston.

I’m supporting our Nelson clients remotely but now have the opportunity to work within the Selwyn district. I can support business owners on a one to one basis either by coming to them or working with them remotely.

Business Roundup - Eithne D C
Eithne Davies
Bookkeeper

I’m the resident bookkeeper for Business Roundup and manage 90% of our bookkeeping clients.
Having come from an ‘owner/operator’ business which my husband Nick and I own, I bring the hands on experience of running a small business. I love working with Xero and our business owners. It’s a very close relationship that we have and I really enjoy the personal interaction that comes with my role.

Business Roundup - Sue C
Sue Colvin
Accountant

I am an Accountant who has some 18 odd years experience in end of year financial accounting and tax returns with a very well rounded understanding of NZ tax laws and GST. I also have had a lot of experience with ACC & Payroll.

Like Sue Thomas I’m also Xero Certified in both Xero Accounting and Xero Payroll. However, I leave the nitty gritty to Sue Thomas to do but I definitely utilise Xero Practice Manager to collate end of year financial statements and tax returns to IRD. This is a huge saving for our business owners as everything is done within the accounting software they’re using making it very cost effective for them. The added advantage is their reporting is in ‘real-time’. Working closely and being in support of our clients is something I thoroughly enjoy!

I’m married to Brent and now work from my home office. I love the flexibility I have in my role which is so important today. Working in with our clients and my family especially my grand-children is very important to me!

What our customers say

Complete Kitchens

We have been working with Business Roundup for the last 6 years and I highly recommend them. They are experts in their field, efficient and great people to work with. We were a small business of 2 two owner operators and now have 14 staff. Business Roundup were absolutely an integral part of our growth. They focused on the accounts and we focused on growing the business. At various times over the last 6 years we have outsourced either all or some of our accounts to BR. Sue Thomas’s aim was to make my life easier, I liked that! BR didn’t just do as we asked, they helped set up processes and gave advice on procedures. The saying “you don’t know what you don’t know” was very fitting for us in the early days. As we grew and took on our own admin/accounts staff, BR did a full handover and trained our new members staff on how we worked and were always there when we needed guidance. BR are so flexible and it’s great to know that as well as the regular work they do for us, we can call on them whenever the pressure of larger workloads require more manpower than we have at the time, when we have a changeover of staff or when staff are on holiday. For the last 2 ½ years Sue Colvin of BR has also been our accountant. It just made sense for that to happen. The transition was easy and support at a management level has been great. I’m pleased to say that our accounting fees are now half of what they were previously.
