Who We Are
2 Peas is a Melbourne bookkeeping and cloud accounting consultancy that helps businesses stay organised, compliant and clear on their numbers.
We have been supporting businesses for more than 25 years, with a strong focus on bookkeeping, BAS, payroll, cloud accounting, software training and business systems that actually work in day-to-day operations. We work with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, and we also support a wide range of connected apps, payroll tools, POS systems and ERP platforms.
At our core, we are here for business owners who are tired of second-guessing their books, scrambling at BAS time, or losing hours each week to systems that should be helping, not slowing them down.
Led by Anna Eydlish
2 Peas is led by Anna Eydlish, a Chartered Accountant, Chartered Tax Adviser and Registered Tax Agent with more than 21 years of experience in accounting, taxation and business advisory.
Her legal, taxation and accounting background brings strong commercial insight to the team’s bookkeeping, systems and client support.
Broader Accounting Experience
Anna’s background as a Chartered Accountant, tax adviser and business adviser gives 2 Peas a strong understanding of how accurate bookkeeping supports reporting, compliance and informed business decisions.
This experience helps our team prepare clear, reliable records while working effectively with each client’s chosen accountant or adviser.
Good businesses need good financial systems from the start
2 Peas began when two experienced bookkeepers, both named Pam, brought together their individual practices and built a business around a simple idea: good businesses need good financial systems from the start.
They opened in Malvern and grew quickly. Over time, 2 Peas built a reputation for strong software knowledge, practical bookkeeping support and quality training. The business became well known in the bookkeeping industry, especially through long-standing work with MYOB, franchise networks and growing small businesses across Victoria and Australia.
That foundation still shapes the way we work now.
The bookkeeping industry has changed a lot over the past decade. Manual entry has reduced. Software has become faster. Optical character recognition, bank feeds, payroll automation and cloud platforms now handle work that once took hours.
But one thing has not changed: businesses still need skilled people behind the software.
“Software can process data, but it cannot always spot when something does not look right.”
It cannot always tell when payroll settings are wrong, when GST has been coded incorrectly, when margins are slipping, or when a business is carrying costs it should not be carrying. That is where experienced bookkeepers still make a real difference.
So while the tools have changed, our role has grown. We are not here just to enter numbers. We are here to help clients use better systems, understand their reports, stay on top of obligations and make stronger day-to-day decisions.
Who Leads 2 Peas Today
Under Anna Eydlish’s ownership since 2020, 2 Peas has continued to build on its strong foundation while expanding its capability across bookkeeping, cloud accounting and business systems.
Anna acquired an established bookkeeping practice with a reputation for quality service, bringing more than 21 years of experience in accounting, taxation and business advisory. As a Chartered Accountant and Registered Tax Agent, she combines technical knowledge with practical commercial insight gained from working with Australian businesses across construction, property, retail, healthcare, education and professional services.
Her leadership has strengthened 2 Peas’ focus on accurate bookkeeping, practical systems advice and long-term support, while maintaining strong working relationships with accountants, advisers and business owners across Australia.
The Team Behind the Work
One of the strengths of 2 Peas is that clients are never relying on one person alone.
Our bookkeepers work directly with clients, backed by a wider team with expertise across construction, retail, hospitality, medical, legal, franchise operations, payroll-intensive businesses and inventory-heavy organisations. That shared knowledge allows us to match clients with the right bookkeeper while drawing on the experience of the broader team whenever required.
We also have a structured onboarding process. Every new client begins with a discovery process and senior review to ensure their file is set up correctly, compliant and efficient before ongoing bookkeeping begins.
That approach provides continuity, quality control and peace of mind, ensuring work continues smoothly even when a team member is unavailable.
Julie brings more than a decade of experience in the IT and accounting software space, following an earlier career in financial services. Before joining 2 Peas, Julie worked with MYOB in franchise and commercial partnerships, where 2 Peas became her go-to bookkeeping practice nationally for conferences, onboarding, seminars and franchise training. She now helps guide client onboarding, operations, systems support and software-led business improvement.
Julie has seen first-hand how bookkeeping has shifted from manual processing to advisory support. Her focus is on helping businesses get more from their systems, identify process issues early and make better use of the tools they already pay for.
Kaylene’s work includes daily bookkeeping, consulting and software training in both MYOB and Xero. Over that time, she has worked across retail, construction, IT, marketing and other small business sectors, with a strong background in payroll and long-term client relationships.
Her perspective reflects what many of our clients appreciate about 2 Peas. The work is not only about data entry. It is about knowing what to look for, noticing when something is off, helping clients avoid preventable issues, and giving them confidence that someone is keeping an eye on the detail.
As Kaylene explains from experience: many businesses first come to us thinking software will let them do it all themselves. Sometimes it does, for a while. Then BAS deadlines creep up, payroll becomes harder, super obligations change, reconciliations fall behind, and the cracks start to show. That is often the point where proper support becomes worth its weight in gold.
Our onboarding and file review process is also supported by senior bookkeeping oversight, including detailed reviews of how a client’s books are set up, where compliance issues may exist, and what can be improved before regular bookkeeping begins.

Small and medium businesses across Melbourne, Victoria and wider Australia
Some clients use us for full bookkeeping support. Others need payroll only, BAS only, software training, advisory help, data migration, cleanup work or a review of their current systems.
Some need two or three hours a month. Others need a day a week, a major catch-up, or support with payroll across hundreds of workers.
That range is part of what makes 2 Peas different. We are set up to support both the business that is just getting started and the business that has grown to the point where old systems no longer cut it.
Business owners usually come to us because something feels harder than it should
Sometimes the issue is straightforward
A business may just need a better payroll setup, cleaner reporting or help selecting the right software.
Sometimes it is more serious
We have worked with businesses that were years behind, had unresolved ATO issues, or had bookkeeping errors from previous providers that needed to be unpacked and corrected.
Real-world experience that goes beyond routine processing
A strong About Us page should tell you what a business has actually done, not just what it says it can do. At 2 Peas, our experience includes:
More than 25 years supporting Australian businesses
Long-term client relationships spanning 5, 10 and 14 years or more
Franchise onboarding and financial training across Australia
Payroll support for businesses with up to 500 staff
Large trade payrolls with award interpretation and site-based variations
Data migration between older software, MYOB and Xero
Cleanup work for unreconciled accounts and overdue obligations
ERP and inventory support for advanced operational businesses
Regular software training for owners, office managers and franchisees
Two years unreconciled, four MYOB files
One example from within the team involved a client with four MYOB files that had not been reconciled for almost two years. The accountant referred them in because the business had ATO issues and needed urgent help. Three bookkeepers worked together over six months to bring the files up to date. That kind of work is demanding, but it can be the difference between a business continuing with confidence or staying stuck in a hole.
Training franchise networks across Australia
Through our long-standing work with franchise groups, we have trained new franchisees in MYOB, Xero and supporting software, helped establish consistent chart of accounts across networks, and provided practical guidance on the business basics many first-time operators were never taught.
We have also supported clients through difficult periods, including the COVID years, where the workload intensified and the need for calm, informed help became critical. During that time, our team worked closely with clients to keep records current, respond to changing requirements and help businesses stay operating where possible.
Expertise across software, payroll and business systems
We are known for our strength in accounting software and the systems that sit around it.

Why systems matter
Many bookkeeping issues are not caused by bookkeeping alone. They start earlier, with the wrong system, poor integration, weak setup or lack of staff training.
A café group may need POS and payroll systems to speak clearly to the accounting file. A trade business may need job, service or inventory data to flow properly from field software into Xero or MYOB. A legal firm may need bookkeeping support from someone who understands LEAP. A medical practice may need a bookkeeper who understands how practice software affects billing and doctor payment flows.
We do not force every business into the same box. We look at what is already there, what is working, what is not, and what changes will save time and reduce friction.
Training matters to us
We train business owners, teams and franchisees so they can use software properly and avoid preventable errors. In many cases, clients are already using a good platform, but only a fraction of its features. A short training session can save hours each month.
We also train continuously as a team. That includes webinars, supplier updates, internal knowledge-sharing and ongoing exposure to new tools and software changes. Bookkeeping does not stand still, and neither do we.

Recognition built over many years, not a flash in the pan
Bookkeeping is built on trust
Clients share bank data, payroll records, tax information and sensitive business figures. We take that seriously. We work hard to create a relationship where clients feel comfortable, informed and supported.
For many clients, trust is also about process. Some of our team members work with read-only bank access where appropriate, and payment authority stays with the client. That helps preserve proper controls while still allowing us to do our work efficiently.
We also understand that some clients arrive after a bad experience elsewhere. In those situations, our first job is often to steady the ship, get the records current, and give the client a clear view of where things stand.
Our process is straightforward
Discovery chat
We start with a conversation about your business, your current setup, your pain points and what kind of help you need.
Senior review
If there looks to be a fit, we review your software file or current process in more detail. This helps us understand how your books are set up, what needs attention and how much support is required.
Scope and engagement
We confirm pricing, services and terms in a clear engagement letter.
Setup, cleanup or handover
If needed, we fix issues, improve the setup, streamline the systems and bring the file up to date.
Ongoing support
You are then matched with the bookkeeper best suited to your business, with senior backup available if needed.
For startups and smaller businesses, this might begin with just a few hours a month. For established businesses, it may involve deeper advisory support, payroll, training, migration work or process improvements.
Clients stay with us because they know we care about the work and about the outcome
We want your books to be right. We want your payroll to run properly. We want your BAS lodged on time. We want your software working harder for you. And we want your accountant to receive year-end files that are clean and ready to use.
Just as importantly, we want you to feel that someone has your back.
A good bookkeeper does more than process transactions. A good bookkeeper sees patterns, asks questions, spots gaps and helps business owners breathe easier. That is the role we aim to play every day.
