Meet Michelle

Hi, I’m Michelle Kelly — founder of BookWorx and your go-to bookkeeper! After working in finance and admin roles for years, I started BookWorx to give small business owners a simpler, more personal alternative to big accounting firms. I’m Xero-certified, a Xero Platinum Partner, and I love finding ways to make things easier for my clients.

I work closely with each client to understand their unique needs, and I genuinely care about helping people succeed. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me on a squash court—either playing or helping out behind the scenes. I’m passionate about community sport and enjoy being involved in local initiatives that bring people together and create opportunities.
