Our story

We understand balancing business operations, as well as family and personal life, can be challenging.

We know you’re great at what you do and understand the importance of spending less time on your books and more time doing what you love so that you can grow your business and create a life that makes you happy. 

Our mission is to simplify and streamline the way business owners approach their finances and bookkeeping. We create efficient processes, implement simple workflows and automate manual tasks to save you time and stress.

We combine professional expertise with a friendly, personal approach, making bookkeeping feel like a breeze rather than a burden. 

We want to educate and empower you to take control of your records, understand your business performance in real-time and support business growth. 

We provide bookkeeping services to sole traders and small to medium businesses in Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and beyond – we predominantly work online so are not limited to these areas.

We work together with your accountant, broker and other finance professionals to ensure everything is streamlined and runs smoothly

About Lauren

Our team is led by Lauren Rognrust, an Accountant who has worked in public practice for 7 years. Lauren is experienced in completing tax returns and financial accounts for individuals and small business entities across a range of industries.

Lauren loves being outdoors, going on adventures, cooking, eating wholesome food and being active. She is passionate about small businesses, the environment and mindfulness practices.

Working as an Accountant I noticed a large gap between a business’ record keeping and the data Accountants require to prepare financial accounts. I also saw and experienced first hand, gaps and communication breakdowns between Accountants and Bookkeepers. This led me to start The Happy Bookkeeper, to not only undertake bookkeeping services but to educate and empower small business owners to take control of their record keeping and internal processes.”
