I LOVE BOOKKEEPING! :-D
I had a perfect score at bookkeeping in high school (Lower Economic and Administrative Education - Dordrecht, The Netherlands). Since then I have been doing 'shoebox' bookkeeping for friends etc. It was not until the mid-1990 that I studied accounting again - with Credits and Distinctions.. I did work experience etc, attempted to start my own bookkeeping business, but due to lack of funds, was not able.
In 2013 I volunteered to do the bookkeeping for the Townsville Running Festival, however they felt that the work would be to much for a volunteer assignment, so they decided to pay me for it! Hence I was able to start my bookkeeping using Xero Accounting System.
I established Sum-it-up Bookkeeping and as they say the rest is history.
