Testimonials
To whom it may concern
I have been a client of Gabrielle Syben on several occasions, in particular I required her services in Accounting/book keeping and Graphic Design for my small business-Anima Mundi Contemporary Art Gallery, Commercial St Takaka, which was in operation for four years and closed in 2004 due to family reasons. Gabrielle helped me immensely in all aspects of running my business, from the practical side of business planning and book keeping, to creating wonderful posters, flyers, brochures and cards for all our advertising. The Gallery had new exhibitions opening every fortnight so she would often work on a one to one basis with individual artists to personalise their advertising, which at times required a great deal of patience and understanding!
I would highly recommend Gabrielle to any prospective clients, her enthusiasm, versatility, efficiency and exceptional people skills would be an asset to any business.

I recommend Gabrielle to all my business associates because she's got a unique gift. As my book-keeper for the past six months, she took my accounts in hand and calmly smoothed them into compliance. My finances have transformed from rather chaotic and intimidating, to highly organized and friendly, with a few easy-to-follow systems that make life much easier for me in the long term. Gabrielle went to the trouble of checking in with me throughout the process of re-organizing my accounts, ensuring that I knuckled down and got everything into place. Just the other day I got a nice, friendly letter from the IRD (one that I could read and actually feel relaxed about after) and it was all down to Gabrielle. I also appreciate the face that she's happy for me to pay her a small, weekly sum, meaning I can have her 'on tap' and chip away at keeping my finances firmly under control! One interesting benefit from being organized financially is that now I'm no longer afraid to make too much money, as I know I've got the foundational systems in place to handle it! Thanks Gabrielle, keep weaving your magic and helping people breath easy about their business accounts.

Dear Gabrielle,
I wish to tell you how delighted I am with the service you provided. You produced first-class business profiles for me at short notice. You made excellent suggestions for layout, wording and photos, paid attention to detail and made sure I was happy with the finished product before printing out. I consider my money well spent and I will certainly come to you again in the future. Thank you!
Kind regards,

To Whom It May Concern
I have been a client of Gabrielle Syben’s on a number of occasions.
Gabrielle’s work covered suggestions and layout of advertising features for an engineering company while I was purchasing officer for eight years.
Our association has continued in my current role as a community recreation co-ordinator. I also recommended Gabrielle for screen advertisement layout and design at the Takaka Village Theatre where she performed amazing feats that were previously unknown in Golden Bay. Gabrielle’s is responsible for “lifting the game” in terms of advertisers desire for a more professional approach to screen advertising in a small town.
One of Gabrielle’s strengths is making sure that the client gets what they need to ensure a successful project.
I look forward to working with Gabrielle on a regular basis and would recommend her for any graphic design and accounts position.
Yours truly,
Dave Myall
Golden Bay Recreation Co-ordinator
Gabrielle Syben worked regularly for me as sole charge in my gallery “Monza” and I have no hesitation in recommending her as totally reliable, conscientious and trustworthy. She has obviously had wide experience with accounting, general bookkeeping, administration and marketing, and is thoroughly efficient when handling the money side of the business. She has extensive knowledge with computer graphics and has designed my gallery business card, gift vouchers, labels and other advertising pertaining to my business.

Gabrielle was employed by this company as an accountant with sole responsibility for our payroll, debtors, creditors, bank reconciliations and cash handling. She also managed our general ledger and credit control. It was indeed a loss to our company when she chose to relocate to New Zealand. We wish her every success for the future and would be most wiling to give verbal testimony if required.

Gabrielle was an absolute star here at Star Engraving. She successfully sorted out accounting records that had been mismanaged for many years. She totally re-vamped our office systems, putting checks and balances in place and updating all policies, contracts and staff manuals. Her communication skills are exceptional and I can wholeheartedly recommend her services.
