Like many mums, Megan wanted to work, as well as raise her family. She needed the flexibility to be with her children before and after school, and earn a living during school hours.

So, (at the turn of the century, ha haaa) in 2000 when Megan’s son was a toddler, she worked out how to make this happen and gained Cert 4 in Financial Services (Accounting), a Diploma in Payroll Services and became a registered BAS agent. This would enable her to run a home-based bookkeeping business whilst raising her son. With her qualifications under her belt, she set up Yarra Ranges Bookkeeping offering a range of services including BAS preparation, payroll and general bookkeeping to local tradies, sole traders and small businesses in and around Melbourne’s Yarra Valley.

Megan built up a grateful and loyal client base, managing and streamlining their business finances, and, as systems went cloud-based, she took on remote clients too. By 2015, she needed ‘another Megan’ to service the growing client base and joined forces with Rita – the perfect business partner – with her Cert 4 in Financial Services (Bookkeeping) and Diploma in Payroll Services.

Megan and Rita are “living the life” – working flexi hours so they can combine their two passions, career AND family.
