About Paper Trail Consulting
Practical bookkeeping and business systems for real-world businesses.
PaperTrail Consulting was created to help small and regional businesses take control of their finances with confidence, clarity, and simple systems that actually work in the real world.
Based in regional Western Australia and working primarily online, we support clients across WA and Australia with accurate bookkeeping, practical business systems, and ongoing support tailored to their industry and stage of growth.
Our Story
PaperTrail Consulting was born from hands-on experience running and supporting businesses where compliance, cash flow, and clear systems genuinely matter.
With a background in farming, hospitality, construction, not-for-profit, and small business administration, we understand the pressures business owners face — long hours, tight margins, regulatory requirements, and the constant juggle between work and life.
We saw first-hand how poor record-keeping, messy systems, and delayed reporting can create unnecessary stress.
PaperTrail Consulting was established to change that, by creating clean, practical workflows that make financial management simpler, clearer, and more empowering for business owners.
