My Story
I Started Cloud Link to Give Tradies Their Time Back
Hi, I'm Kirsty. I started Cloud Link Bookkeeping with one clear purpose: to remove the complexity and stress of financial management for trades business owners across New Zealand.
I understand that you didn't get into business to be buried in paperwork or constantly chasing overdue payments. You got into business to build, create, and grow. That's what I want to help you do.
As a Xero Silver Partner, I bring certified expertise directly to your business. This isn't just a badge — it means you're working with someone Xero trusts to deliver expert-level guidance. I receive ongoing training, have priority Xero support, and am recognised as a trusted advisor in the Xero ecosystem.
"At Cloud Link, we empower New Zealand's trades business owners to focus on what they do best — doing their trade and running their team — without the constant stress of financial management."
— Kirsty Nell, Founder
