ABOUT ME…
I specialise in supporting small local businesses; helping owners gain clarity around their finances. Rather than operating in a corporate environment, I prefer to build genuine relationships with the businesses I work with; understanding their goals, challenges, and unique needs.
I’m community-minded and deeply value the local connections that make our area special. Having worked with small independent businesses for over 15 years, I truly appreciate the vital role they play in our city.
I bring a detail-oriented, problem-solving approach to everything I do. From managing day-to-day financial tasks to creating tailored financial reports, I focus on putting practical, understandable processes in place that make a real difference.
I believe in clear, honest communication; so please never hesitate to ask questions. I’m here to support you, whether you need ongoing financial management or simply a second pair of eyes on your numbers.

TESTiMONIALS
"We've worked with Xeni for our bookkeeping for four years, and the service has always been reliable, accurate and straightforward. It's reassuring to know everything is well looked after. Xeni is always quick to respond when we need advice or support. We couldn't recommend XM Bookkeeping highly enough."
Danny - Great British Wine Tours
"Xeni has been looking after our bookkeeping, payroll and accounts at The Urchin for over ten years and I would not hesitate to recommend her. We are a relatively small business, operating in a challenging sector with tight margins, so we need to pay close attention to the figures and maintain high standards. Xeni understands all aspects of our business deeply and knows many of the team personally. That’s a huge advantage when it comes to getting the figures right and designing the accounts / reports in a way that works for us. We use Xero and Xeni is an expert with the platform. This means that we can get things in order easily without having to worry about how to administer the system. Over the years, we have built a high level of trust with Xeni. She is always professional, prompt and clear with her communications, which gives us the confidence to manage our business successfully and we are very grateful to be working with her."
Austen - The Urchin 
"I really enjoyed working with Xeni as the Finance Manager in our small team for more than 4 years. She is reliable and methodical, with an excellent understanding of financial processes and great attention to detail. She particularly enjoyed problem solving tasks, and finding creative solutions for improving our reporting and forecasting processes. Xeni has a positive and kind nature and I would happily recommend her to any business looking for a dependable and trustworthy finance professional."
