Bookkeeping, Payroll, and Admin Support for Lifestyle Businesses

Running a lifestyle business often means managing far more than the product or service you offer. Between bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, supplier relationships, customer enquiries, admin tasks, and digital systems, there is a lot happening behind the scenes every day.

We support lifestyle businesses such as sustainable fashion brands, online gift and lifestyle stores, home care services, therapy and wellbeing practices, and other creative or values-led ventures. Our team provides practical bookkeeping, payroll, office admin, CRM, and systems support so you can stay organised, spend more time on the work you love, and grow at a pace that feels sustainable .Whether you sell products online, provide personal services, or manage a growing client-based business, we help keep the back end of your business under control.

    Heidi and her team are just amazing. They are making my daily life so much easier, so that I can concentrate more on my business.

    Their experience helped me and my team a lot, for example sorting the invoices and keeping us up to date with the books. On top they are always there for any questions I have. Couldn’t do it without them. If I could, I would leave 10 stars. Keep on going, you all are amazing.

    Heidi was great to work with a friendly and knowledgeable personality.

    I was in the middle of splitting my main brand into 2 different brands. She helped me to streamline my thinking, and advised me on my websites, using WordPress (Block setups and plugin usage). She used clear everyday language as oppose to technical jargon to help plan my next strategic points in my new brands.

    As a busy bisniss owner who is also dyslexic I would not to without Zesty, always there when I need things checked and even just to bounce bisniss plan ideas of.. Heidi is always full of ideas on how to improve and expand my bisniss and has great vision and an always helping attitude … for this non tecno savvy client … I wouldn’t be with my VA now that’s for sure.

    Thanks Heidi for all you do!

    Heidi has provided an outstanding level of support while I established the online presence of my new business. Heidi is knowledgeable, approachable, and a pleasure to work with. Without Heidi’s support, I would still be fumbling in the dark trying to work out what was best for my business. Highly recommend

    Heidi has been very helpful on a number of occasions giving me extensive information, advice and suggestions.

    I have had a number of questions touching on a variety of subjects and she either had the answer straight away or put in the extra effort of finding out, which was well beyond my expectations. Thank you Heidi!
