Meet Kate

Kate Jarman – Founder & Registered BAS Agent

Growing up on her family's dairy farm, Kate experienced first-hand the highs and lows of running a small business - from long hours to cash flow challenges and everything in between. That early insight shaped her passion for helping business owners create sustainable, well-managed financial systems.

With 20 years of industry experience in bookkeeping, accounts, and office administration, Kate has worked with a diverse range of clients - from large accounting and law firms to small and medium businesses across hospitality, accommodation, retail, health care, dental, wholesale, manufacturing, e-commerce, property management, trades and construction, not-for-profits, and more.

Registered BAS Agent (89531003) and Xero Gold Certified Advisor, Kate leads her team with professionalism, integrity, and warmth. She believes that great bookkeeping isn't just about numbers - it's about supporting people and their businesses.

Based in Ashmore on the Gold Coast, Kate Keeps Books supports clients across Australia.

Outside of work, Kate is a proud mum of two, loves camping, her dog, and spending time outdoors with family and friends.

The People Behind Our Work

Behind every reconciled transaction and BAS lodgement is our friendly, dedicated team.
