About Angel Lights Co.
Founded in 2018 by seasoned entrepreneur Jacquelene Dewar JP, Angel Lights Co. is a Perth-based e-commerce candle and home fragrance business, offering eco-friendly, non-toxic products designed to bring calm, light and energy to homes across Australia.
Jacquelene has been in business since 1993, with a career spanning over 30 years and ventures across retail, fashion, accommodation, franchising and fintech. From launching one of her first websites in 1998 which was a short-term accommodation business called In Star Accommodation, to founding Belobela Online, South Perth retail store – Men on Mends Menswear, and co-founding fintech platforms Geniusto (Aust) and AUZ Life, Jacquelene’s experience reflects a rare combination of creativity, tech-savviness and commercial depth.
She first connected with Carbon in 2017, seeking expert bookkeeping support for her earlier ventures. When she launched Angel Lights Co. the following year, she already had a trusted team by her side, ready to provide support, advice and the financial clarity needed to start strong and grow with confidence.
The Challenge
When Angel Lights Co. began to grow, Jacquelene knew that running a successful e-commerce business took more than just managing orders and invoices, and that spreadsheets and guesswork weren’t going to cut it.
“I didn’t have a bookkeeper or accountant, and I wanted a reputable firm to help me build my company properly.”
Having juggled multiple roles in past businesses, from bookkeeping to marketing to strategy, Jacquelene understood the importance of having a professional team she could rely on. She didn’t need someone to take over the day-to-day, but she did want the peace of mind that someone was there to provide clarity, answer questions and keep her business financially sound as it evolved.
