Business Description

Focus Administration Solutions Australia’s core business is bookkeeping. Although I have a client list that includes home-based, small and large businesses, I have a special interest in new business and home based hobbies making the transition into business.  I focus on the setup and startup process through to laying a solid groundwork for record and account keeping, some/all of which the owners can then do themselves – or use FASA as required.  I offer hourly rates on a long term or casual basis, fixed price packages and customised rates and packages.

I also offer single and short term engagements for administrative work (document preparation, block-typing, event management eg. conferences and Christmas parties).

My experience comes from 23-years as a bookkeeper and includes executive secretary and PA., office management, accounts management & project manager. As well as Townsville, I have lived and worked in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Canada. Focus Administration Solutions commenced trading in 2009.
