My name’s Julie and my love of number crunching began as a child. My mum would bring home big, bulky ledgers from her office along with one of those huge, old adding machines. Fascinated, I would watch her use the machine, fingers darting across the keys as she entered the numbers, before neatly tallying the calculations in the ledger books. I would beg her to show me how to use the machine, and, by the age of 12, I was gleefully doing the work for her! I was hooked.
My love affair with numbers naturally turned into a career, and for over 30 years I worked in the accounting and bookkeeping industry in the UK, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia.
Happy Books started as a fledging service after a local builder nagged me to help him with his books. The calls soon came in thick and fast and, before I knew it, I had the makings of a small business with its own books to take care of. My last child had just started school, so everything was pointing to me taking a leap of faith to fulfill my dream of running my own business.
For me, that dream is about helping businesses across all industry streams and geographical areas in Australia. At Happy Books we love the culture of small business – passionate people with big ideas like us, and people we feel aligned with and want to help fulfill their own happy dreams.
