  • At the start of 2020 we were getting busier and needed to outsource our bookkeeping requirements. Seeing Donna had helped implement most of our Xero systems she was the perfect candidate to take it on. After a quick and easy transition, she took the load and stress of the business bookkeeping off us and carries out the work seamlessly. She patiently nudges us to find receipts and has our books in great order and helps us streamline our accounting and management processes. I would highly recommend Donna and Decryption.

  • Before Decryption, bookkeeping was a task I dreaded. I would procrastinate for as long as possible, then fumble around last-minute to try and piece things together. Now, I never think about it. Decryption gives me the peace of mind that my bookkeeping is done right, freeing up my time to focus on growing my business.

    Daniel Adams – Envelope Group

  • We have been working with Donna for over a year now. She has been amazing right from the get go - making my accounting system a breeze and everything works seamlessly in our back end! Nothing is a hassle and I can honestly say this was the best decision I made outsourcing the work to Donna & her team to do our bookkeeping. Outstanding service - 10/10!

    Paige Burgess – Studio Black

  • As a start up business with so much to juggle at any one time, the team at Decryption has made the whole process of keeping our accounts up to date and compliant for reporting. Such a weight lifted from our shoulders to know that this is in hand and dealt with accurately, efficiently and on time. I wholeheartedly recommend Donna and the team at Decryption.

    Alistair Kirk – Co-Founder, Beach Booch

  • After posting on a Facebook page about having trouble finding an automated solution for syncing up my Shopify and Xero accounts. Donna reached out to me and offered some advice. I had searched high and low and asked other accountants if they had a solution, but it was not within their expertise. Donna and her team were able to sort everything out for me and they saved me from a massive headache!

    Todd – Beauty and the Wind

  • With my company going through a period of rapid growth I needed my accounts to be right up to date, so I could pull reports and know exactly where things were at. Having talked with Donna at length I could see that the smartest way forward was to have the team sort out the backlog and re-organise our systems, then have them take over our day-to-day bookkeeping. It was a decision that has taken a huge amount of stress off my shoulders and it’s a dream to log into Xero and see all the accounts magically up to date.

    F. Lane – Goodings Laboratory

  • I find Donna and the team very easy to deal with. As the business has become more and more complex, they have continued to work alongside us to ensure systems and processes have adapted to be as user friendly and as efficient as possible. Basically accounts/accounting shouldn’t be something a business owner has to think about very much, and this can only happen if you have full trust in your accounting team, of which I very much do. Low hassle, efficient and onto it is how I would describe working with Decryption.

    Jude Salisbury – Abeeco

  • I’ve been working with Donna and more recently her team for nearly three years. When I set up my PR consultancy, I had no previous experience running a business or using Xero. Donna was recommended to me by an old colleague and has been such a huge help in operating and setting up Xero and increasing my financial awareness. She is always on hand to answer my multitude of questions and always makes me feel heard, helped, and empowered.

    Luci Marshall – Rise & Shine PR

  • I started working with Donna about 10 years ago after my business started to increase in size and accounting complexity. Doing the day-to-day accounts wasn’t my forte and I didn’t want to be spending time doing it when I could be using that time to develop and manage my business.

    Donna knows my businesses well and is very thorough. She is always quick to offer suggestions or advice to improving the current systems and processes too. I take comfort in knowing that the accounting side of my businesses are well managed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Donna and her team from Decryption to any business owner.

    Scott Rice – Quantum Events/Puhoi Beer

  • An injury soon after starting our business meant I just couldn't keep up with everything and something had to give - it couldn't be customer service, so it was bookkeeping. Fast forward a couple of years and it was a right mess. Out of desperation to get back on top of it, we got Donna involved and she has been amazing and patient at helping us get it all cleaned up and put processes in place to keep it clean. We are very grateful for her help.

Bookkeeping for e-commerce makers & creators

Supplier invoice processing, customer invoicing and debtor reporting

Making sure that bills are paid on time keeps money flowing and helps with planning. Switching to a paperless office helps keep on top of on-time payments that maintain excellent relationships with your suppliers and your customers, and avoid credit payment delays that quickly impact cash flow and supply. With regular bookkeeping hours, we make sure everything is running smoothly so you’ve got accurate cash flow information to make business decisions that help growth.

Monthly account reconciliations

Avoid the year-end rush to get information to your accountant by regular checks that the information in the accounts is accurate and up to date. With the Decryption bookkeeping team, we keep on top of the financial information you need and make sure the information used is correct for decision making and avoids nasty surprises. With accurate information, you can get the best value from your annual accounting meeting and can focus on the more important burning questions.

Payroll and PAYE

A team is a key part of any growing business, and let’s face it, many people go to work to give them the money they need every day. Payroll is a complex area, and that complexity increases with every change to the rules. It’s hard when you simply don’t have time to keep up with the changes, but must legally comply with them. As payroll and PAYE experts you don’t need to keep up with the latest changes. We can make sure the IRD is paid correctly, on time every month, to avoid those nasty penalties and interest, which impact cash flow unnecessarily.

GST returns

GST rules can be complicated, and it isn’t necessarily as simple as pressing the “file now” button in Xero. The last thing you want to be working on in the evening is a GST Return, but that is often the position business owners find themselves in. It is a scramble, and often done at the last minute, with minor consideration on if it is correct. We free up your time and hand you a finished GST Return to review before filing for you. While you get on with doing the things you love to do.

FAQ about Decryption Bookkeeping for E-commerce Services

A bookkeeper records and classifies a company’s daily financial transactions such as sales, payroll and purchases. An accountant builds on the information that is provided to them by the bookkeeper.

Yes.  All of our clients generally already have an Accountant in place.  We work with our clients on a day to day basis, keeping the records up to date and answering questions.  Accountants enjoy working with Bookkeepers as it helps them give accurate advice to the clients, based on records that are up to date.  It also helps Accountants to have discussions around future strategy instead of focusing on compliance and tidying up records.

We work with clients all over New Zealand and also work with New Zealand business owners based overseas.  Other than needing to remember time differences, we can work with clients no matter where they choose to be. Our services are fully cloud based and we help our clients become paperless if they aren’t already.

We can work with any Accounting System if you are looking to move to Xero, however on a day to day basis, we are a Xero only business.
