“Michelle and the Hallmark Professional team have been an integral part of our business, Taking care of the day to day bookkeeping and tax side of our business has freed me up to be on the tools or keeping on top of the general admin we face as business owners. Michelle is always available when we need to spend a bit of time getting information out of my head and applied to the accounts, outside of these times all I need to do is log into Xero and I can see exactly how the business is tracking! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michelle and her services to other small business for assistance with their bookkeeping and accounting, she is a real gem!”

“As our accountant, Michelle brings personal service to my small business… I now don’t feel like a number in a large organisation. She helped me with the transition to Xero from my prior accounts package and has provided great on-going support in using Xero since then. I can now spend less time doing the accounts and more time working in and on the business.”

I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle to anyone seeking not just an accountant, but a trusted financial partner who genuinely cares about your success.”

We later employed her services again and she oversaw the transformation of our accounting system onto a xero platform gaining all the attendant advantages and control systems offered by software. She utilises not only her business acumen but has the intelligence and flair to give practical strategic and operational advice. Over 15 years, I always maintained and valued her knowledge but also her sound and practical advice. “

Who We Are

“Play by the rules, but be ferocious.” – Phil Knight

Our Story

Phil Knight’s quote ‘play by the rules, but be ferocious’ encapsulates Michelle’s ethos in that it is important to be intentional and forward-moving. Michelle is completely results oriented and believes that sound accounting information, robust analysis and supportive advice build an excellent platform to help business owners achieve their goals.

Accounting has been ingrained in Michelle’s history from very early on. Not only was her Nana an accountant for a law firm in the days of written ledgers, Michelle’s Dad owned a commercial building firm and it was normal to reconcile the bank and talk business after school. They also were at the forefront of computer technology and assisted in the development of one of

the pre-eminent trade accounting programs in practice today. Michelle saw excellent business practices first hand from looking after staff and gaining reciprocated loyalty, to modelling excellent work ethic to the fundamentals of how to make a profit.  Michelle embarked on a BMS with the aim of focusing on all parts of business and carried this through to her work history including owning her own businesses. It was at university that Management Accounting captured her heart and pushed forward into a rewarding career in helping businesses thrive.

Michelle is personable, available and with her you’ll never be just a number.  There is nothing Michelle enjoys more than talking business with her clients!
