About Grazie Gifts and Hampers
Grazie Gift Baskets and Hampers is a premier gifting company, specialising in delivering smiles and strengthening relationships through personalised hampers. Established in 2006 by Vera Ensor, the brand originated from her love of Christmas, hospitality and a creative family background.
Grazie Gift Baskets and Hampers operates from a warehouse in Perth and continuously seeks new ideas and products to enhance its hampers. The company prioritises sustainability, supports local businesses and brings joy to people through thoughtfully crafted, eco-friendly gifts. In 2020, Vera became an internationally accredited gift hamper designer after obtaining certification in Arizona.
The Challenge
As a growing business, Grazie Gift Baskets and Hampers faced significant challenges in managing bookkeeping, invoicing and payments. As an owner-operator, Vera found it difficult to keep track of financials, particularly GST. The business needed a reliable financial partner to streamline business operations, implement effective tracking systems and ensure compliance with tax regulations.
How Carbon Helped
Bookkeeping & CFO Services
Our Bookkeeping & CFO Services team in Osborne Park provides a tailored solution for Grazie Gift Baskets and Hampers. We set up Xero on Vera’s iPad, offering training and support for tracking accounts. Our team reviews account inputs to ensure accuracy and compliance for submitting BAS on a quarterly basis. Our accountants also prepare and lodge annual tax returns promptly and accurately.
Our ongoing services streamline financial operations, making invoicing and payments easier to manage. This allows the business to focus more on sales and marketing, leading to manageable annual growth and the ability to employ three casual staff.
By freeing up the time Vera spends on bookkeeping and financials, she can now concentrate on researching new products and engaging with clients.
Supportive Partnership
The partnership also provides opportunities to showcase new products to our team and receive valuable feedback. Aside from being a trusted bookkeeping partner, Carbon also uses Vera’s services and refers clients looking for gift hampers to Grazie whenever possible, enriching both businesses.
