2023 Awards
At the 2023 Xero Awards we were so pleased to be awarded with Innovative Partner of the Year. Here's what Xero had to say about us...
​
LJM Bookkeeping has a clear vision, and that's to move the bookkeeping industry forward, using technology to automate data entry tasks, and free up time for clients to use in more valuable ways. Developing customised workflows using AI and non-industry specific tools such as Stream Deck, they're an exceptional example of using technology to their advantage, standing out from the crowd to attract more high-value work.
A strong advocate for technology and all things Xero, LJM Bookkeeping are forward-thinking and encourage others in the bookkeeping community to improve their efficiencies and boost their confidence too.
At ICB LUCA Awards in 2023 we receive an award for: Influencer of the Year
​
Here's what Lara had to say, "I want to encourage as many people as possible who have a passion for numbers to grow their own bookkeeping practices. Bookkeeping, especially with the ICB, is the perfect opportunity to build a business that works around you, especially if you have health issues like I do. That building a successful business is all about embracing your quirks, be ever willing to learn and improve and use the community around you as support. I want people to learn from my story and believe that they can do anything they put their minds to."
Lara is a golf fanatic, so it's only right that we should share with you her personal achievements as well as her business achievements.
