Business & Beyond
Story
Our journey began in 2017 when we worked together at an accountancy firm. Over the years, as our careers evolved and led us down different paths, we stayed connected as friends.
Fast forward to now and we're teaming up again, this time as co-founders of Business & Beyond, an organisation built with small and micro businesses in mind.
​
​With one of us obsessed with numbers and the other with nailing the perfect Instagram caption, we’ve blended our skills in accountancy and marketing to offer something a bit special: simple, no-nonsense support that actually makes a difference. Our mission? To help small businesses not just survive, but thrive, with practical advice, real-world tools, and a good dose of encouragement along the way.
About Rebecca Duale
Rebecca is an accountant who believes numbers are only part of the story. Behind every set of accounts is a person, a passion, and a purpose, and that’s where she focuses.
As a Xero practice, she uses cloud-based tools to keep things simple, efficient, and transparent so businesses can focus on growing their business while staying on top of their finances.
Whether it’s helping business owners understand their numbers, supporting with tax filings, or just being a sounding board during a busy year-end, Rebecca makes things clearer and more personal.
About Amy Patterson
With over 16 years of experience in both agency and in-house marketing roles, Amy has had the pleasure of working with a wide range of businesses across various industries.
Her true passion lies in helping businesses uncover their unique selling point and showing how to effectively market that to their audience.
