Meet Jenny

Hello, I’m Jenny Ryan, owner of Bookkeeping Direct. I’ve been involved in managing, offering training, and rescuing businesses so that they will succeed and thrive, for decades. Our business has grown by word-of-mouth referrals from our delighted clients, thankful Accountants and is backed by an experienced staff trained on our specific systems.

I have a great problem solving mind and many years of business experience, there isn’t a mess I haven’t been able to fix. I also partner with my husband to run our family business in the transport industry for over 30 years so I understand the pain & challenges of running a business.

My personal interests include netball, watching the V8 supercars, reading,
gardening, spending time with my adult kids & friends, camping and a lover of nature. I am often sitting in on webinars & studying certifications to ensure my practice stays up to date & compliant in all aspects of running any kind of business.
