About Us
Meet The Team
More than a Bookkeeper has been operating since 2000. For many years before that, as individuals we were financial and management accountants. We know about being in business and that’s why we work smart to provide business solutions, not just bookkeeping.
Julie Ferguson
Chief executive officer
Julie Ferguson started Bookkeeping back in the 80’s. Her employer said “you’re a real natural with the bookwork, you should get some qualifications”, years later Julie graduated from TAFE NSW with a Associate Diploma of Accounting.
She then decided to take time off and went travelling and found in New Zealand a 5 five star hotel needing a Financial Controller. From there the world was her oyster and had various great contracts around the world in other industries and was famously the Financial Accountant for Euro Disney Merchandising, plus worked for one of the Coopers & Lybrand Directors in the UK, and the team project was to ‘Dematerialise the London Stock Exchange’.
Coming home Julie specialised in hospitality accounting, yet wanted a change and went on to publishing her own health and lifestyle magazine. This was very interesting and varied yet closed this business after 4 years because her forte was not in selling advertising.
Whilst in the process of deciding what she wanted to do, someone said “can you do this bookkeeping please”, yes of course and that was the start of the past 18 years.
Julie has in these 18 years obtained a Graduate Certificate in Public Accounting, an Advanced Diploma in Business Management, a Certificate in Training & Assessment and currently working towards her Masters in Commerce with a Major in Small Business. Yes studying is one of her passions.
