Did you promise yourself in a fit of New Year's optimism that you'd spend more time bonding with your family and less time tangled up in the labyrinth of your trade-based business's bookkeeping and admin?

Sue from Sue Gray, Virtual Assistant

Well, buckle up, because I'm here to turn that resolution from a fleeting dream to a reality you can brag about at the next family barbecue!

Why not let me handle your bookkeeping and admin nightmares, so you can go back to being the superhero parent/spouse/fun-loving individual you always aspired to be on evenings and weekends?

Ever thought about bringing in a Virtual Assistant to rescue you from the clutches of office paperwork and number crunching?

Fun fact: Hiring a Virtual Assistant is way lighter on your wallet than adding a cubicle-dweller to the mix!

I'm not just any Certified Bookkeeper and Xero advisor — I'm the office admin wizard you never knew you needed. I've got a knack for turning chaos into order, and I've been practicing my dance moves for the day I finally achieve the paperless office dream (weird, right?). Oh, and don't worry, I'm slightly OCD about numbers, but in a charming way!

With more than two decades navigating the wild world of trades-based businesses, I've seen it all. As a former owner and/or office manager, I've survived bad language and chuckled at politically incorrect jokes like a pro. Let's make your business management as entertaining as a stand-up comedy show — minus the two-drink minimum.

LET ME HELP YOU GET YOUR LIFE BACK!!

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...

Prospa

A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
