Melissa Thorpe founded East Coast Bookkeeping & Business Solutions in 2016, after starting out in her family’s building and construction business. Her belief is simple: bookkeeping should empower business owners, not confuse them. That ethos underpins how our whole team works with clients across the Shoalhaven, Illawarra, and Australia-wide.
"Melissa is very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to assist you. She is the best bookkeeper that I have had in all the businesses I have owned. Professional, helpful and extremely patient. If you are looking for the right person who will listen and perform 100% then call Mel."
