Kate O’Mara: Bringing Clarity, Confidence, and Control to Small Business Finances

Founded in 2022 by Kate O’Mara, Business Angels Bookkeeping was created to solve a problem many small business owners quietly struggle with — understanding their numbers well enough to make confident decisions, without drowning in admin, jargon, or stress.

Based in Brisbane, Australia, Business Angels Bookkeeping partners with small business owners to bring clarity, confidence, and control to their financial world. The firm works alongside its clients not just to keep books compliant, but to help business owners truly understand what their numbers are telling them — and how to use that information to build stronger, more sustainable businesses.

A Business Built From Real Small-Business Experience

Kate O’Mara brings over 20 years of hands-on experience working in and alongside small businesses across a wide range of industries, including trade, hospitality, retail, real estate, software, e-commerce, and multi-site operations. That lived experience shapes every part of Business Angels Bookkeeping.

Rather than operating as a transactional service provider, the firm was designed as a long-term partner for business owners — especially those who are time-poor, overwhelmed, or stretched thin while trying to grow.

Kate’s philosophy is simple: bookkeeping should reduce stress, save time, and support better decision-making, not just meet compliance obligations.

What Business Angels Bookkeeping Does

Business Angels Bookkeeping provides comprehensive, day-to-day bookkeeping and business support services, including:

• Bank reconciliations and financial data accuracy

• Payroll processing, STP finalisations, and superannuation

• Accounts payable and receivable management

• Debt recovery and cashflow management

• BAS and IAS preparation and lodgement

• Payroll Tax, TPAR, and statutory reporting

• Ongoing reporting and financial insights

Beyond the numbers, the team focuses heavily on education and communication — translating financial reports into plain language and helping business owners understand what’s happening inside their business.

Growth Through Trust, Not Advertising

One of the most defining aspects of Business Angels Bookkeeping’s journey is how it has grown.

For its first several years, the business did no advertising and no social media marketing, instead growing organically through the BNI referral framework and strong professional relationships. This deliberate approach prioritised trust, service quality, and reputation over rapid visibility.

The result has been consistent, sustainable growth driven by referrals, client retention, and word-of-mouth advocacy.

Intentional Scaling Without Compromise

Over the past two years, Business Angels Bookkeeping has achieved:

• 60% year-on-year revenue growth for two consecutive years

• 60% growth in team size, while maintaining service quality

• Strong client retention and repeat referrals

• A reputation for proactive, client-centric bookkeeping support

Importantly, this growth has been carefully managed. Kate has remained deeply focused on preserving the firm’s culture, service standards, and customer experience — ensuring that scaling never came at the cost of care.

A Service-First Philosophy

At the heart of Business Angels Bookkeeping is a commitment to 10/10 service. Every client interaction — from onboarding and communication to delivery and follow-up — is designed with customer experience in mind.

The firm’s success is built on creating raving fans, not volume for volume’s sake. Many clients come to the business feeling overwhelmed or uncertain. Helping them move from confusion to clarity — and from survival mode to sustainable profitability — is a core part of the firm’s impact.

Recognition for Excellence

In recognition of its service quality and business impact, Business Angels Bookkeeping was awarded:

🏆 Australian Enterprise Awards 2026Best Bookkeeping & Business Support Firm – Queensland

The award reflects not just commercial performance, but the firm’s commitment to ethical growth, client education, and long-term value creation.

Looking Ahead

As Business Angels Bookkeeping continues to grow, its focus remains unchanged: helping small business owners understand their numbers, make better decisions, and reclaim time, confidence, and balance.

By combining technical excellence with education, empathy, and proactive support, the firm is quietly redefining what modern bookkeeping can — and should — look like for small businesses across Australia.
