Bookkeeping for over 20 years

Sylvia Kavanagh

Sylvia is the go to bookkeeper for busy tradies and small business owners across New Zealand who are sick of drowning in GST, tax, and never-ending paperwork. After years working in admin roles across the trades and real estate industries, she launched The Sorted Office to help hardworking business owners get their time (and sanity) back.

“I get it — my husband’s a tradie,” “You’re flat out on the tools all day, and the admin piles up fast.”

Based at Himatangi Beach, Sylvia balances business life with family life — including keeping up with her football-mad son. She understands the real world pressures Kiwi business owners face, both on and off the tools.

Down-to-earth, honest, and easy to talk to, Sylvia doesn’t just crunch numbers — she gets to know your business. She’ll come out to your workshop or job site, understand how you operate, and tailor your bookkeeping so it actually works for you.

With 30+ years of experience, ICNZB membership, and partnerships with tools like Xero, Tradify, and Next Minute, Sylvia makes your financial life simpler and your processes smoother. She’s also rolling out training options to help business owners stay on top of things without the stress.

If you’re ready to ditch the admin overwhelm and get your books sorted properly, Sylvia’s your person — keeping Kiwi tradies and small businesses running smarter not harder.
