Markus Goetz, Gut Health Guru

“Our business was making some money, however there was never any money left. Edward introduced us to the concept of ‘Profit First’ which we could implement it for our business, supported us in setting Xero, and explained how we could easily stay on top of our finances. His vast experience in setting up and managing financial systems along with running his own businesses, enabled us to have a finance system that worked”.

Real world experience that business owners can trust

Edward has spent over 20 years working as a bookkeeper alongside small business owners, starting in London before moving to Australia in 2014. He ran a cleaning company for three years and co-founded a profitable organic chocolate business in Australia, helping build it from the ground up to being stocked in 700+ stores before selling it in 2019.

Now based in Sydney and raising a young family, Edward brings that lived experience to every client relationship.

His focus is simple: clear bookkeeping in Xero, the right supporting apps where needed, and giving business owners confidence in what their numbers are telling them.
