Financial compliance, clarity, and confident progression for business professionals.
Experienced Support.
Real Impact.
Supporting small business owners since 2001.
You started your business because you're good at what you do. Not because you wanted to spend hours reconciling accounts, chasing payroll deadlines, or second-guessing your BAS.
I handle all of that, and more.
For over 25 years, I have worked alongside 400 small business owners who needed more than just accurate numbers. They needed someone who genuinely understood their business, identified what was costing them, and helped them move forward with confidence.
That's what I bring to every engagement: accuracy, clarity, and a financial partner who actually cares about your outcomes.
Let's take the pressure off.

As Books by Majella, I’m a registered BAS Agent and practice-led. With over 2 decades in the bookkeeping profession, I bring a level of expertise, professionalism, and genuine care that goes well beyond basic number-crunching.
I am a Fellow Member of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers, actively involved in the professional community, and deeply committed to holding myself to the highest standards of compliance, ethics, and integrity. -
I believe good bookkeeping is built on structure, accuracy, and trust.
I work closely with each client to understand their business, keep their records clean and compliant, and provide proactive guidance rather than reactive fixes.
Every engagement is delivered with clear processes, documented oversight, and a genuine commitment to doing things properly. Compliance is not an afterthought here. It is built into everything I do. -
I work with new, growing and established small to medium businesses that value accuracy, compliance, and professional structure.
My clients are GST registered, often employ staff, and want more than basic bookkeeping.
They want clarity, reliable financial records, and the confidence that comes from working with a registered BAS Agent who genuinely understands their business.
If you are serious about your business and want a bookkeeper who matches that standard, you are in the right place.
What our clients say
Majella has been my bookkeeper for nearly five years, and she has been consistently outstanding throughout that time. She handles my cashflow reporting, payroll, BAS and PAYG with real precision and care, and I have complete confidence in her work.
What I particularly appreciate is that she never makes important lodgements or decisions without first checking with me. She is careful, responsible, and professional in the way she manages everything, which gives me a great deal of trust in the process.
She has also provided valuable guidance on industry-specific issues and has helped me develop a much better understanding of cashflow and accounts management over the years. That has made a genuine difference to how I run my businesses.
Majella goes well beyond what is required to make sure everything on your file is handled properly and runs smoothly. She is excellent at what she does, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I expect to be working with her for many years to come.
— CW - LegalBooks by Majella were highly recommended to me in July 2021 and since then, I have had the pleasure of working with this amazing bookkeeper.
In the past five years, my tiny one-man business has grown into a company with 8 employees and over 3,000 clients, which has created a lot of background paperwork. I wouldn't be able to do without Majella, she is always prompt, reliable and detail-oriented, making sure all my accounts are spot on every time.
Majella has gone above and beyond my expectations with her friendly attitude and professional approach. She has taken the stress out of managing my accounts, and it’s been a great peace of mind knowing everything’s in good hands.
If you’re after someone trustworthy, efficient and budget-friendly, you can’t go past this awesome bookkeeper, and I couldn’t recommend anyone else more highly.
— RM - Home MaintenanceWe have been using Majella for nearly 5 years. She not only does the regular bookwork for our business, is also a wealth of information when we have questions or need advice regarding all aspects of managing our business. We would not hesitate to recommend her to others looking for someone with her skills who has the personal touch that makes life less complicated.
— S&P – RetailI highly recommend Majella for bookkeeping and business support services. She has been managing all of my bookkeeping, BAS preparation, and has also been able to confidently navigate and implement systems, such as Zanda, with ease for the past 2 years.
I’ve found her to be punctual, accurate, organised, and incredibly reliable with my bookkeeping. Knowing that my accounts are being handled professionally gives me enormous peace of mind and allows me to focus on my clients and training.
Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to quickly learn and work within health practice systems have been invaluable to my business.
I would highly recommend her services to other small business owners and health professionals.
— JB - HealthAbout Majella
I'm Majella Zentveld, and I've spent over 25 years helping businesses get their finances right and helping bookkeepers step confidently into their next chapter.
As a Registered BAS Agent and Fellow Member of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers, I bring professional expertise, real-world experience, and a genuine commitment to the people I work with.
Whether you need reliable bookkeeping, structured supervision, or post-licensing mentoring, you are in the right place.
I support you with building the life you want, not just financially, but personally as well.
This isn’t just what I do.
It’s what I stand for.
What Sets Me Apart
My work is guided by a clear set of values that shape how I support, supervise, and mentor others. These values are not aspirational; they are practical, lived, and embedded in how I show up every day.
Integrity First
Integrity sits at the core of everything I do. I believe in doing the right thing, even when it’s harder, slower, or less convenient. This means working within scope, respecting professional boundaries, and holding myself, and those I work with, to high ethical standards
Professionalism With Purpose
Professionalism is more than compliance; it’s how we communicate, make decisions, and take responsibility for our work. I value clarity, accountability, and thoughtful judgement, and I support others to build confidence in their professional role, not just their technical skills.
Sustainability Over Burnout
Success should not come at the cost of wellbeing. I value sustainable businesses, realistic workloads, and systems that support both compliance and quality of life. Growth is not about doing more, it’s about doing what matters, well.
Growth Through Guidance
My supervision and mentoring approach is built on the belief that individuals thrive best in a supportive environment, rather than under scrutiny. It is structured, clear, and encouraging, offering guidance, feedback, and direction that empowers individuals to build their own confidence and capability.
Confidence Built on Capability
True confidence is earned. It comes from understanding your responsibilities, knowing your limits, and having systems and support in place. I focus on helping people build confidence that is grounded in competence, experience, and sound decision-making.
