about us
Over 15 Years of Professional Experience
Having stumbled into the agricultural industry initially by chance, I started as a receptionist for an agricultural machinery manufacturer in Cambridge, NZ at 17 and over the years then continued to be drawn to the industry. I have spent my entire career working closely alongside farmers, contractors, transport companies, manufacturers and suppliers to the agricultural industry.
Now with a few qualifications and years of experience under the belt you can rest assured I will treat your business as if it was my own.
My passion is people and payroll, I want to help you get the accounts and payroll bits right, whether that's by processing it for you or setting it up and training you, so you can do it for yourself.

Lorraine Gardner
Founder & CEO
I started this business not only so I can earn money doing what I love but also to enable me to find a good work-life balance, so that I can spend quality time with my daughter Claudia.
When I'm not doing that, studying or working I enjoy the odd glass or two of wine with friends, I'm a keen Crusaders supporter and try to fit in a bit of training for another half marathon with my Dad.

Lorraine has helped us with various things over the years, with employment agreements and staff dispute resolution and dealing with my random xero queries from time to time. Lorraine explains things in a way I can understand and helps get out the words I can’t when trying to write things down for me and/or the staff. She helps to simplify and streamline things and we have been so greatful for her help. - Sarah-Louise Adams, Stonelou Farming
