Jan Clogg Credence Business Solutions

I established Credence Business Solutions

in late 2009 after working in the bookkeeping

and accounting industry my whole life,

including 25 years with public practice

accountants.

My mission is to bridge the gap between

what clients want and accountants need and

to help small businesses find better ways to

manage their frontline finances.

A key focus area is online accounting

systems, such as Xero and the latest version

of MYOB AccountRight Live released in May,

which automate many processes, save time

and ensure bookwork is consistent, accurate

and up-to-date.

Since 2010, I have harnessed the latest cloud

accounting technology to provide businesses

with anywhere, anytime access to important

financial information. As one of the first

locals to use Xero software, I offer in-depth

knowledge and years of experience.

My approach is hands-on and I design

solutions that fit clients’ individual needs. By

removing the technical jargon and putting in

place easy-to-use, reliable systems, I reduce

stress and uncertainty for small businesses.

To stay up-to-date and skilled, and

retain my position as a Certified Practicing

Accountant, a Registered BAS Agent and a

member of several industry associations, I

must meet stringent professional development

standards. Clients can be sure their finances

are in the safe hands of a qualified and

experienced bookkeeper.

The next step is to continue to empower

clients with the business insight that comes

from current, customised information for a

successful FY13/14. Now is the right time to

upgrade your bookkeeping systems so you can

have a fresh start for the new financial year.
