Love Bookkeeping was born after Katie moved from the UK to Australia and developed a love of bookkeeping while working on the financial side of her husband's building company.  Seeking a career that would be flexible around a young family, bookkeeping seemed like an obvious choice.  With a chartered accountant for a father, who made her note down all the ins and outs of her bank account and reconcile these lines back to the bank statement each month from the age of 14, bank reconciliations were already something very familiar.
​
Having studied Archaeology at University College London, investigations were also something deeply ingrained.  So, large tidy-up jobs are a sought after challenge and something that Katie truly enjoys.
​
Rediscovering a special passion for multi-day hike a few years ago, Katie likes to get out in nature when she can.  From the Northern Territory to Tasmania, Katie loves to take to the trail with her both her hiking buddies, and now they are older, her kids. Having tackled a fair few amazing hikes around Australia, next year a big adventure is in the planning stages for some overseas hiking in Japan.
 
Luckily, Katie is also keen on keeping fit with strength and endurance training - something that definitely helps with the hiking.

After a busy day, which includes a lot of kid-wrangling, Katie likes to relax with some binge-watching on Netflix
