HOW IT WORKS
The same three steps, whatever your stage
01
Free call — understand your situation
We talk through where you are, what's missing or broken, and what you actually need. No pitch, no pressure — just an honest conversation about whether I can help
02
I build it — you don't have to figure it out alone
Whether it's a starter setup or a full system rebuild, I do the work. That might mean configuring Xero, building a cash flow model, setting up a tax system, or designing an AI-assisted workflow.
03
Handover — you run it from here
I walk you through everything so you actually understand it. You leave with a working system and the confidence to use it. No ongoing dependency on me — unless you want to come back as you grow.

ABOUT ME
Your Partner in Financial Independence
I'm the founder of H-twice. I've spent over 15 years in accounting and tax — from Big 4 public practice to corporate finance — and I hold a CPA qualification.
What I enjoy most is coming into a situation — whether someone's day one or year five — and building something that actually works. I like getting my hands dirty, solving the real problem, and handing over something the client can run themselves with confidence.
I'm also genuinely curious about what AI is making possible in finance and accounting, and I'm starting to bring that into my work in practical, grounded ways — not hype, just tools that save real time.
"Whether you're just starting out or untangling years of mess — you deserve a financial system that works for your business, not against it."
COMMON QUESTIONS
Good to know before we talk
I've just gone self-employed — where do I even start?
That's exactly what the starter setup is for. We cover your IRD obligations, GST registration, business structure, a simple record-keeping system, and what to set aside for tax. One session, everything in place.
Do you do ongoing bookkeeping or accounting?
No — my engagements are fixed scope. I build the system, you run it. If you need someone to manage your books on an ongoing basis, I can point you in the right direction.
What does a typical engagement look like?
It depends on the business circumstances and the requirements. Usually 1–3 weeks with low complexity. A discovery call, then I get to work, then a handover session. Starter setups are typically done in a single session.
What's the AI workflow stuff about?
Using AI tools with the right prompts can automate a surprising amount of financial admin — categorising transactions, drafting reports, summarising data. I help you identify where it fits and set it up so it actually works for your business.
