Sheila De Burgh

Owner, Bookkeeper and BAS Agent

I’m Sheils, I have been a fully qualified Bookkeeper and BAS Agent since the regulations were first introduced. Throughout my career, I have always been involved with accounts and I am glad those years of background knowledge now allow me to help people run their business more efficiently.

Since being joined firstly by Lisa, who I had worked with previously and now Amanda who became part of the team more recently, our workplace is more enjoyable and we like to celebrate all the little wins.

I enjoy walking, spending time with family and friends and dabbling in property development. I have renovated one house, was an owner builder of my house in Qld before moving back to Melbourne in 2013 and undertaking to build a couple of townhouses here in Doncaster East.

Lisa Pape

Lisa has worked with us since May 2019.

She is a qualified bookkeeper with many years’ experience handling company accounts for small sole traders through to large multi-million-dollar companies, across many different industries. Lisa enjoys welcoming new clients and the challenge of getting new accounts into shape!

She enjoys watching and supporting her children playing their different sports, Melbourne’s great food and arts culture and likes to write children’s books in her spare time.

Cost Effective Bookkeeping

Motion Health Toorak struggled to find good bookkeeping services after our long serving financial controller retired. We were finally introduced to Sheila who inherited, what then was, quit a mess.

She tidied that up and now provides cost effective bookkeeping and business reporting. Thank you Sheila.

Never Misses a Beat – Highly Recommended

I first met Sheila 3 and a half years ago. She was recommended by a friend, I gave her a call and we met for coffee. I had just purchased a small hair dressing salon and had never had my own business before and was in a panic about all the things I would need to do financially behind the scenes. 

Sheila reassured me that’s her expertise and she will be with me to handle all those things every step of the way. And she sure has been, both Sheila’s and my own businesses have grown and blossomed over the last 3 years and she has never missed a beat doing the pay runs each fortnight, BAS lodgements as well as going above and beyond with assistance in navigating through the covid times. I highly recommend Sheila and her team, thank you Sheila!

Impressive Attention to Detail

I have used Sheils Bookkeeping for 2 years and couldn’t be happier with my decision. Prior to doing this I was working long hours during the week and then trying to catch up on the books on the weekend which was just wearing me down.

Since handing over the bookkeeping, I have been consistently impressed with the level of detail that Sheils and her team have. The amount of things that have been picked up and fixed would never have been fixed if I was still doing my books.
