Over the years, this page has mostly been a place to share business updates, qualifications, reminders, milestones, achievements, partnerships, and everything happening behind the scenes at Balanced Books.

But as we reach this milestone, and with a lot of fresh interest in the business lately, I thought it was a good time to share something a little more personal so you could get to know the person behind the business, the ideas, and the way I work.

I’m Emma, the face behind Balanced Books, based in Alexandra, Central Otago, working remotely with clients NZ-wide.

My husband Ed and I have a big blended family of seven children, which continues to grow as partners join our crew. Family has always been a huge part of why I built this business the way I did.

Over recent months, life has also reminded us just how important flexibility really is, as Ed has been navigating a significant health journey involving multiple brain surgeries (10).

Being able to support my family while also supporting my clients is something I never take for granted.

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻, 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆, 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀, 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱.

If Balanced Books has ever helped create clarity, reduce stress, or simply made life feel a little easier, please know how grateful I am to be part of that journey.

Thank you for supporting Balanced Books over the past six years and being part of the journey so far.

I’m excited to see what the next chapter brings ✨

I wanted to share these upcoming AI workshops being hosted by one of my business coach’s business partners/husband, Joshua Vial.

These feel refreshingly practical and grounded compared to some of the AI noise online right now.

Less “AI hype.”
More:
✔ real workflows
✔ real-time savings
✔ practical AI safety
✔ using AI in ways that actually support your business

Perfect for business owners who want AI to work for them without needing to become a tech expert.

And honestly… who doesn’t love a last-minute sign up 😅
The first workshop starts tomorrow.

One thing I also really like is that you don’t need to attend live to get value from it. Purchasing includes access to the recordings and materials, and the discussion/community space afterwards, so you can continue learning, asking questions and implementing things in your own time around actual life and business.

I’ll pop the link in the comments 🤍
