Does Bookkeeping and staying on top of your numbers chew up your time or cause you grief?
You’re not alone.

Thankfully for you, I love it.

"We’ve seen a real improvement in how smoothly things run."
Working with Jahna at Keeping Balance has been an absolute game-changer for our business. She is incredibly knowledgeable, easy to work with, and always provides clear and practical guidance. Since transitioning from the in-house bookkeeper our previous accountant recommended, Jahna has made the process seamless and stress-free. Her expertise with Xero has been invaluable, and she always takes the time to explain things clearly, giving us confidence and clarity in our numbers. She’s highly responsive, a fantastic communicator, and genuinely goes above and beyond to support us whenever we need assistance. We’ve seen a real improvement in how smoothly things run since bringing her on board, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Meet Jahna – Certified, Australian Bookkeeper
Hi, I’m Jahna — a Certified Australian Bookkeeper, Registered BAS Agent, and Xero Advisor with more than a decade of hands-on experience helping small business owners across Australia feel calm, organised, and confident with their finances.
I’ve been using Xero for over 10 + years and have been partnering with businesses since 2016 through my Done-For-You Bookkeeping service as their trusted Expert Bookkeeper. My approach is kind, judgment-free, and deeply practical — helping clients simplify their systems, understand their numbers, and make informed decisions that support growth and wellbeing.
I work closely with coaches, construction, and retail business, supporting them to streamline their bookkeeping, stay compliant, and gain confidence in their financial position.
Time and time again my clients tell me that they are so grateful to have found me, and they couldn’t have navigated the start of their business journey without me.

"She quickly established better processes and tidied up our payroll system."
I have been with Jahna from Keeping Balance for over a year now. She quickly established better processes for data management using Hubdoc and tidied up our payroll system. This is one less item I need to worry about now as I am confident this is being reported accurately.
Callum Lui - Interior Designers, Brisbane Queensland
I work best with small business owners who care deeply about what they do and want their finances to feel simple and supportive.
I particularly like working with owners who focus on growth, value their time and understand the importance of learning and growing alongside their business.
Over the years I’ve partnered with:
Coaches, consultants and course creators
Retail shops with one or more locations, including expensive experience in a bulk food franchise
Hospitality Venues
Construction and trade services, like concreters, handyman services
Startups and growing businesses ready to put strong systems in place from the start
Owners who have purchased established business but need to bring their systems and process online to gain clarity in their investment
Where I’m located
I’m based in Brisbane and offer bookkeeping services online and, when needed, in-person. So it’s simple to connect no matter where you’re located. Most of my current clients are in Brisbane, Toowoomba, Melbourne and Sydney, and I regularly work with small businesses right along Australia’s East Coast.
Most sessions are online, but in-person meetings can be coordinated – often timed when I’m visiting other clients in the same area. Whether you’re in a major city or a regional town, I’ll make sure my support fits seamlessly into the way you run your business.
Your Investment
Starting from just $550 per month.
Please note that a one-off set-up or clean up of $2200 may apply.
This covers the time I spend getting your systems and books running smoothly — including setting up Hubdoc, bank feeds, and any connections like Stripe or PayPal; reviewing your existing processes; catching up on unreconciled transactions; and creating personalised tutorials so you feel confident using your systems.
It also allows me to get to know your business, your accountant, and the unique challenges and opportunities in your industry, so I can support you in the most impactful way.
For established businesses, this foundational piece of work can take up to 25 hours to complete.
Please be aware that businesses that have ‘neglected’ their bookkeeping for some time, and therefore require more intensive set-up support, may incur an additional tidy-up fee however, this would be discussed, quoted and agreed upon.
Got Questions? I have answers…

In all my years of experience I truly believe that these programs are someof the most suitable on the market and time and again, I’ve seen them bring structure to financial chaos and save business owners lots of time (which = money!), stress and frustration.
The programs I use are easy to navigate, reputable and can of course be claimed as a business expense.
You’ll find that the majority of bookkeepers are prescriptive like this because if we were to use different programs for all our clients, we’d quite literally have a mental breakdown - haha.
-
Each set-up process differs in length and is dependent on the needs of the business owner. If you run an established business but have been neglecting your books, the set-up process may take up to two months. If you are a brand new business (or setting up from scratch) an average set-up takes around two weeks.

The most successful business owners understand their numbers. Sure, they’re not the ones who take care of the nitty-gritty, but they do understand the importance of keeping an eye on and understanding them.
A big part of my work that I’m most passionate about is educating and up-skilling business owners about money management, so if you’d prefer to turn a blind eye then I’m likely not the best fit for you.
