What some of our clients say

Di makes me feel supported. She really 'gets it', as she is a business person herself. Di knows numbers and approaches everything from a business owner perspective, not an accountants perspective - which is exactly what I have been searching for! She employs 'next level' 'outside the box' style thinking to solve problems. She interprets the numbers in a way that I can understand and presents them in a format that works for me. It is great to be around someone who genuinely cares about helping me grow my business. She is my 'Financial Therapist'.

Catherine McNamara
Grinning Gecko Cheese Company

"I’ve met with Di a few times now, and she’s always been so warm and welcoming. From the very first meeting, we felt comfortable talking openly about our business, which isn’t always easy to do. We needed a bit of guidance with Xero and understanding the reports, and Di explains everything in such a simple, easy-to- understand way. We also worked together on setting up a tracking plan, figuring out what to track and how to make it meaningful moving forward and again, she made it clear and straightforward. Every session with her has been easy and enjoyable, and time just flies! I’d definitely recommend Di 100% and will keep going back whenever we want to learn more about bookkeeping or Xero..".

"I engaged Ontrack Payroll HQ to support a large-scale payroll audit involving a significant volume of data. I required assistance navigating the software, extracting accurate reports, and compiling the necessary information. Di and Danie went above and beyond—working efficiently and meeting every deadline. Their extensive knowledge of payroll processes and legislative requirements was invaluable throughout the project. I highly recommend them for any payroll support or training needs."

Joanne Mankelow

 "This SBTH course has given me heaps more confidence understanding the rules and regulations of payroll. Di is a great tutor and we had lots of time to really dig down on topics we weren't sure about. I'd highly recommend it if you run a payroll and haven't had formal training - I guarantee you'll learn heaps.

"The wonderfully friendly and helpful team are always just a phone call away should I need additional support with my business. I became a client after several years of juggling every aspect of my business and needed a trustworthy and honest team to work with me to guide me and help me to organise my books to make life that little bit easier. Best decision I ever made, what a relief it is to know they have got my back!"

Lucy Best

"Ontrack have always been only to happy to help, never further than a phone call away or an onsite appointment, and their expertise has been received with open arms. They have continued to help us grow and be sustainable, from one entity set up and our growth to our current five entities. Thanks Di & Team."
