In 2014, Tracey was working as a business analyst for a large mining company. The corporate vibe had lost it's shininess and she
wanted to find a new challenge; a place where she could use her management accounting and analysis skills to make a difference
for small businesses.
Appy Books was born!
Since then, Appy Books has built a growing portfolio of almost 60 small business clients. They have implemented cloud-based automated accounting solutions for compliance bookkeeping and provided practical and insightful analysis into the health and direction of these small businesses. Appy Books often acts as the interpreter between accountants and business owners so they can all work as one team movings towards the same goals. Appy Books are a sounding board and helping hand on a regular basis, not just at year end. They are bookkeepers that care about their client's success.

Tracey's favourite food group is cake and she is partial to the occasional glass of wine.
