Testimonials

“I started working with Jo without any prior experience in office administration, motivated by a desire for a career change after previously working as a qualified chef. Over the past six years, Jo has been an incredible mentor, providing me with invaluable skills that I wouldn’t have gained anywhere else. Today, I am proud to hold the position of Operations Manager at a joinery installations company.”

Tanya Cleghorn

Joanne provided me with training in bookkeeping and accounts several years ago. She has consistently encouraged and guided me towards educational opportunities that have benefited my career in bookkeeping. Her extensive knowledge of accounting and business, coupled with her mentorship, has been instrumental in maintaining the viability of our self-employed business. I highly recommend JT Business Consultants for all your business requirements. Joanne’s expertise is truly exceptional.

Renae Nelson

I engaged Joanne’s services for conducting due diligence on a business that I was considering purchasing. Throughout the entire process, she provided expert guidance, meticulously reviewed the financial and legal documentation, and communicated her findings along with recommendations for the next steps. Her extensive expertise proved invaluable, preventing me from making a potentially detrimental investment. I strongly endorse Joanne’s services.
