Hi I'm Haley
I’m based in the Mangawhai, Northland. I moved here with my family from Waiheke Island. I live with my amazing partner, our daughter and son. I’m a country girl at heart and an animal lover. We have a dog, cats and chickens. Between my children and my pets, what spare time I have left is spent exploring our wonderful home.
I’m currently studying at Massey University, completing a Bachelor of Accountancy degree. Prior to running my own business I worked for Kiwibank for 8 years, and then in various accounts roles working with a multitude of software's and systems.
I took the leap and started my business in 2014, after a few of my friends/clients asked me to help them with their businesses.
I pride myself on being organised, efficient, motivated, trustworthy and loyal.

Hi I'm Zoe
Mangawhai is where I grew up, so after studying in Wellington (too windy), and working in Auckland (too Auckland), I was ecstatic when I got the opportunity to move home.
With accountants as parents, taxation and accounting quickly became second nature. After graduating from Victoria University I worked as an auditor for KPMG. This progressed into a tax accounting role at a boutique accounting firm, specialising in property, trusts, and small business.
When I am not glued to my laptop you will likely find me at the beach enjoying the sunshine and surf. My two fluffy golden retrievers are my shadows, along with our goats and sheep; my partner & I are making the most of country living.
My passion is to understand your business and numbers to enable you to focus on what you do best.

Hi I'm Maris
Originally from North Carolina, USA, I came to New Zealand while on secondment while working for a large Audit, Tax, and Consulting practice. I worked in the audit field for a decade until my husband and I decided to leave the city and move to Northland where I started to focus my career on business advisory services.
I have an undergraduate degree in Business from Appalachian State University and a Master of Accounting from North Carolina State University.
When not at work, you can find me out surfing with a smile on my face. I love dragging my husband all around NZ in search of waves, some of my favourite places to adventure to are Ahipara and Raglan.
I look forward to working with our clients to better understand their businesses and providing coaching, planning, forecasting/budgeting, succession planning and so many more amazing services to help our clients take their businesses to the next level.

Hi I'm Natalie
After leaving England in 2004, my husband and I moved to Auckland, where I worked as a senior manager in the Insurance industry. I left corporate finance a few years ago and ran my own small business in Mangawhai, before coming back into an accounting role with My Two Cents. With my English background, my accounting qualification is from the Chartered Institute of Management Accounts, UK.
Outside of work, I love the outdoors, walking the dog at the beach and being a Mum to our 2 kids. When I'm not running around after the family, I'm either baking or in the garden.

Hi I'm Mackyla
I live a small commute from Mangawhai with my partner and our children. I come from a farming background and have spent a lot of time on dairy farms; I'm also a qualified hair stylist. On my days off I'm kept very busy having adventures in and around Mangawhai with my son.
I completed the Certificate in Bookkeeping last year with the Career Academy, and became a Certified Bookkeeper with ICNZB. I started work with My Two Cents in September 2018. Since then I have become Xero Certified Advisor and Xero Payroll Certified.
I love working with our varied clients, there is never a dull day in the office.

Hi I'm Jo
Originally from Auckland, my family and I made the move north 10 years ago for the lifestyle change and all that the beautiful Kaipara has to offer. When I am not working, I love spending time with my family, friends and our animals. Northland is an amazing place to explore and I love living the “rural dream".
I am a Certified Bookkeeper with ICNZB, a Xero Certified Advisor and recently have become a Debtor Daddy Accounts Receivable Specialist.
I love supporting small businesses and as Accounts Receivable is the lifeblood of any business, I am passionate about helping you keep that cash flowing in.

Hi I'm Tiff
I live the country dream with my family on a farm in Mangawhai. We are surrounded by a variety of animals but mainly horses. In my spare time, I enjoy horse riding, boating and spending time with my friends and family.

Hi I'm Kylie
I am lucky enough to live near the beautiful Kaipara Harbour, so love being outdoors and on the water whenever we get the opportunity.
Both my husband and I were raised on dairy farms and were privileged to be able to provide our three sons with a similar upbringing. We currently live on a lifestyle block and enjoy catching up with the family on the weekends.
I am a Certified Bookkeeper with ICNZB, Xero Certified Advisor and recently completed my ApprovalMax Certification. Experienced in Office Management, with an accounts background in Civil Construction and Trades, I’m passionate about developing good processes and have a strong focus on administration detail to support small business success.

Hi I'm Jeannie
I am lucky to live here in Mangawhai with my fiancé Kerren and our Labrador Luna. We moved in 2018 when Kerren’s work bought us up here and we love it! I have two grown children (who I’m super proud of) who live in Auckland with their respective partners. When I’m not working you’ll generally find me outside, either fishing, kayaking, or cooking!! We love anything cooked over coals and open fire, and have recently become heavily involved in the NZ Barbecue Scene - AKA American Style BBQ.
As well as living my best life, I also like to live my best work life, and enjoy working hard to achieve goals and KPI’s. I have 25+ years bookkeeping and payroll experience, am Xero Advisor Certified, Xero Payroll Certified, and am now working towards becoming a certified bookkeeper with ICNZB.
I particularly enjoy problem solving, and implementing systems that work to eliminate double handling. By eliminating double handling, your staff are happier, your business is more profitable, and you can spend more time doing what it is that you’re good at!!

Hi I'm Charlotte
Together with my husband and son, I live in Mangawhai and love having the best of rural life and the beach life at our fingertips.
Previously a travel agent for many adventurous travel-filled years, Covid brought a halt to that and saw me looking for a role that incorporated the work I enjoy most.
For me this is assisting people through administration & organisation and continuing my obsession of creating and ticking off a to do list! I like to be busy and love that I learn new things everyday.
I am so fortunate to be part of the My Two Cents team and work alongside this amazing group of bookkeepers and accountants.

Hi I'm Lisa
I currently reside in beautiful Wanaka with my husband and our 2 girls, I’m a small-town gal originally from Kaikoura, on the east coast of the South Island. Which I spent 10+ years between Kaikoura/Christchurch working in a variety of business settings within the accounts and finance sector and a certified bookkeeper with ICNZB.
My spare time is mostly spent planning adventures with family and friends and enjoying the beauty of our country, and for quiet time I love a good fishing spot and surfcasting off the beach with a good cuppa listening to the waves.
I love building great relationships and being able to assist with the core fundamentals of bookkeeping to help your business succeed.
