About Me

Hi, I’m Stevie – and I’m definitely not your typical accountant!

With a bubbly personality and a straightforward approach, I bring energy and dedication to everything I do. Outside of work, I’m a mum to two lively young daughters, which means you’ll often find me outdoors surrounded by dogs, horses, and plenty of laughter.

I’m also passionate about giving back. My love for volunteer work has taken me as far as South Africa, where I not only volunteered but later tied the knot. Closer to home, I’ve served on the world finance committee of a global organisation, lending my expertise to strengthen their financial operations.

As a proud member of the ACCA with a career dedicated to accounting, I look forward to helping non-profit organisations thrive financially, so they can focus on the incredible work they do.

Stevie was recruited for the task of providing me with training of and to assist me with the setting up of our Sage Accounting System. She also helped to customise the Sage system to our needs as a community-based organization.

She conducted herself very professionally with her guidance and expertise. She was always very clear in her teachings and availed herself to provide thorough explanations to all my questions.

Following my training with Stevie, I am now confidently able to manage the Sage Accounting system on my own.

I would absolutely recommend Stevie for a trainers position. She is highly skilled and equipped for this role. Her people skills are to be praised. She is very patient and kind, and she welcomes any and all questions one might have.

She will be an asset to any organization or company in need of her skills and training."
