"Leaine and her team are like honorary ‘Moxies’—in a SME the people who actually work alongside you are almost as important as the work they do and the ‘fit’ has been a very good one. Leaine’s advice, competence and unfailing and constructive support have helped make my first year as co-owner of Moxie Communications memorable and successful. With Leaine’s help, we completely overhauled the business systems we inherited and now have a highly effective work flow and accounting system enabling quality management reporting and control that has resulted in significant cost savings. I would certainly recommend JBSL to anyone interested in improving their business performance."
Frances Manwaring
Managing Director, Moxie Communications
“I am brand new to business having been institutionalised working for a govt department and not knowing a thing about operating a business. What Leaine has provided has been exceptional support, above and beyond what is required of her. Further to this is the education I have been able to receive in order to run a business. She has always been available, knowledgeable, accurate, enthusiastic, (some of us just aren’t when it comes to book keeping) and above all tolerant. I will continue to seek help and advice from Leaine and refer my friends and colleagues to her regime. A brilliant sounding board, honest, and an invaluable member of our team.”
Graeme Rowe
Managing Director, GR Projects
"Leaine is a hard-working, honest, trustworthy and professional worker. I have recommended Leaine to a number of my clients who are all very happy with her work and ability. Leaine has excellent experience and can provide a range of skills including knowledge on a number of accounting packages including MYOB; as well as Health and Safety and Human Resource best practices. I would happily recommend Leaine to anyone who is struggling with their accounts and needs a specialist to come in and manage their accounts in an efficient manner, or to provide support and advice to assist in the overall office administration of their business."
Christine Garrett
Managing Director, Beenz & Bytes
"Leaine is a gem. She not only sorted out my GST and end-of-year tax return, but has also provided valuable advice on how I should structure my small consultancy business. She understands the tax system, she has a practical grasp of the business world, she is meticulous in dealing with my idiosyncratic bookkeeping - and above all - she is a delight to work with."
David Russell
Past CEO, Consumer New Zealand
"Leaine has done an excellent job at developing and operating our accounting systems. She is fast, efficient and will see a problem all the way through to its resolution. I can't recommend her highly enough."
Stephen Peterson
CEO, Simply Energy
"Leaine has been instrumental in setting up our accounting systems since the start of our business. She has trained our staff to use these systems effectively and with confidence. Leaine's dedication and knowledge has allowed us to relax; knowing that our books are up to date and if I ever have a query about anything to do with the financials of our business, I can quickly get an honest, concise and accurate answer. When it comes to accounting all business owners want the same things: accuracy, good advice, and understanding - without a huge invoice at the end of it. Leaine provides all of this - and with a smile as well!"
Laurie Stephenson
Director, Hothouse Air Conditioning
"Leaine has been absolutely fantastic in sorting out our GST and training new staff for us. She has also assisted us to move from an old accounting package to MYOB. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and sincerity have ensured we have achieved our desired outcomes within timeframes and budgets while giving the new staff the confidence to take over."
Sally Killick
Director, FSB 4 Financial
"Leaine has been very effective in streamlining our accounts processing - resulting in greater accuracy and timely reporting. She has also provided valuable advice and assistance with employment issues. I simply cannot recommend Leaine highly enough."
Knud Bukholt
Managing Director, Nu Image Interiors
"Jones Business Solutions provided us with a very effective recruitment solution for our office administrator position. Leaine led the entire process - from reviewing and updating the position description, to managing all the applications and shortlisting, and conducting the interviews, referee checks, and in-house testing. We are very happy with the end result; and impressed with the professional and thorough process that Jones Business Solutions undertook for us."
Paul McGough
Managing Director, Auto Image
"As someone who gave up Maths in the fourth form I have never had any facility for figures, forms, spreadsheets, or sums in any shape or form. Leaine has not only made sense of my tangle of tax receipts and accounts, she has done so cheerfully and with professionalism. I'd be lost without her!"
