Who is Pawsome Books?

Hi! I'm Alison Henderson, the friendly face behind Pawsome Books, and I'm here to turn your bookkeeping stress into financial clarity.

After years in the corporate IT world, I made the leap to follow my passion for pets and started my own micro business in the pet industry. That transition gave me a real understanding of the overwhelm that running your own business can produce—from navigating deadlines you didn't even know existed to that familiar Sunday night dread about your books. The panic when BAS deadlines loom? The "ignorance is bliss" approach to compliance? I've absolutely been there too.


That's exactly why I created Pawsome Books specifically for women like you who are running service-based businesses. Whether you're grooming pets, training dogs, running a consultancy, or building your creative empire, I understand the unique challenges we face as women in business because I've lived them myself.


My mission is simple: to give you back your evenings and weekends by taking the bookkeeping burden off your shoulders. I believe every woman deserves to feel confident about her numbers, compliant with the ATO, and free to focus on what she does best—serving her clients and growing her business.


Now, I know some of you aren't quite ready to let go of the financial reins completely—and that's perfectly fine! I've got solutions for every comfort level, from comprehensive done-for-you services to guided resources and one-on-one sessions that help you stay in control while building your confidence.


As both a Professional Bookkeeper and a service business owner myself, you can trust that your finances are in expert hands. I speak plain English (no confusing jargon!), offer fixed-price packages so you always know what you're paying, and treat every client like the capable business owner she is.


Think of me as your financial safety net—I'm here to catch the bookkeeping chaos before it becomes overwhelming, keep you compliant and confident, and give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your numbers are sorted. Because when your books are in good hands, you're free to focus on building the business and life you love.


Ready to say goodbye to that Sunday night dread? Let's chat about how Pawsome Books can support your success.
