Hi, I’m Jaime Bates and I created Heart Bookkeeping back in 2015 to make a life-changing impact on the financial wellbeing of Australian small business owners. I’m a passionate businesswoman, experienced accountant and an advocate of the ideology that businesses have the potential to bring about the greatest positive change in our world.
A passion for running businesses is in my blood, having come from a long line of business owners dating back to my great, great grandparents Wilf and Ethel Latimer, who moved to Lismore in 1910 and were dairy farmers and hide byers. My family owned many businesses in Lismore over the years including the ACME Filling Station, the ACME Vulcanising Works, the Copper Grill, Latimers Laundry, Summerland Sports and now the businesses myself and my siblings own and operate in this current generation.

Whether you’re a newbie to Xero or simply want to enhance your skills, we offer two fantastic options that will help you harness the full potential of Xero.
Our bookkeepers are trained and supported by qualified accountants so you can be confident in the quality and accuracy of our work and know that we’ve got all your ATO reporting requirements covered. It also means we know what your accountant needs come tax time and can deliver them a beautiful Xero file, making the end of financial year a seamless and pain-free process for everyone.
We take the time to learn about your business so we can recommend and deliver a bookkeeping solution that will be just right for you. During the discovery call we deep dive into what your current bookkeeping processes look like, any cash flow struggles you have and how you currently use financial information in your business. Our goal is to save you time, give you accurate financial data to aid better decision making and ensure the bookkeeping process is helping you reach your business goals.
If you don’t love us, leave us! We provide you with a fixed fee proposal that runs to the end of the financial year so you know your costs for budgeting purposes. But if you find that our solution is not right for you, then you can cancel at any time. No hidden fees and no hard feelings.
There is nothing worse than having to wait a week for someone to get back to you or chase them up multiple times to get a response. Especially when it comes to your business finances. Our team will respond to you by email or phone within one business day of you contacting us so your business can keep moving forward.
