Janet De Hoog: Dennes Point Holiday Rental

Accounting that saves you time

“Going from being an accidental bookkeeper to having Reckon has made a huge difference to me.”

“Time to myself in a life which is really busy gives me the opportunity to be refreshed, to be ready for the next day, and just to be settled within myself and have peace.”

INTRODUCTION

Taking the time to do things you enjoy

Janet is a full-time nurse, but she also runs a holiday home on Stayz as her side business.

“Our house is right above the beach at Nebraska Beach. Whether it’s a sunny day or a really windy rough day, it’s just lovely just to be there.”

When Janet isn’t busy working as a nurse, helping her husband Frank with his bookwork, tending to her family, she finds herself gardening on the property.

“I just love being in this garden. Seeing it growing, seeing the birds, and it’s just a lovely place that we call home.”

THE CHALLENGE

Getting lost in the bookwork pile

Janet found that she spent a considerable amount of time maintaining the books for her holiday rental in Dennes Point.

“When we first started renting our holiday house, it was a challenge to keep track of all the paperwork. It was new to me. I’m not a natural bookkeeper.”

Janet needed a solution to help take the busy work of accounting so that she could focus on her family and her own professional life.

“I used to do the bookkeeping manually. Invoices would go into a pile. They’d get mixed up. I spent a lot of time just trying to fix it up.”
