Our Story
Two decades in business, first as Start IT Consulting and now Business Addition, affords a consultancy like ours an in-depth understanding of what makes a good business great.
We started out with a passion for providing general and rescue bookkeeping services following the introduction of GST in 2000. Our aim was to take the load off busy business owners and maintain their business books.
Our handling of their data and the onerous and ongoing daily responsibilities of running a business gave our clients back the time and energy to focus on the aspects of their business that inspired them and the space to strive for excellence.
It also meant they had a true and accurate picture of where their business was at and where it was heading financially. This kind of insight gives a business owner the confidence to either push forward or the knowledge to make necessary changes to ensure long-term success.
As our business has developed, so too has the range of support we extend to our clients.
Today, we offer a holistic and comprehensive consultancy-based service that seeks to assist and direct our clients in any area of business that requires attention.

“For the last 14 years we have used the services of Heather Sanders and Business Addition (formerly Start IT Consulting) for our bookkeeping and BAS Agent. Without Heather and Business Addition, we would not be where we are today.”
