Since joining Affordable Staff in April 2025, she has supported an Australian landscaping and maintenance business through financial administration, job costing, employee work tracking, invoicing, and operational coordination.

Before joining Affordable Staff, Joyce spent more than four years with a hardware business, progressing through accounting, purchasing, and operations supervision responsibilities. Her earlier experience included accounts payable and receivable, supplier coordination, sales reporting, customer enquiries, and staff supervision.

This combination gives Joyce a practical understanding of how financial records connect with everyday business operations, from customer transactions and supplier purchases to employee work schedules and job costs.

Outside work, Joyce enjoys dancing and general exercise.

AFFORDABLE STAFF ONBOARDING TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT

Joyce completed Affordable Staff onboarding and accounting-focused training covering Australian business administration, bookkeeping principles, accounting records, and financial processes.

Her training included an introduction to Australian accounting and taxation, business and entity reporting, ledgers, bank feeds, invoicing, and payroll-related concepts. She also received practical exposure to accounting software, including Xero and MYOB, through structured exercises.

This preparation provided an Australian accounting context for her previous financial and operational experience. Her subsequent assigned-client work has allowed her to apply relevant skills in live Xero transactions, invoicing, reconciliation, and business reporting.

She also communicated with suppliers, addressed customer concerns, supervised staff, and supported daily store operations. During her earlier internship with a real estate business, she assisted with payroll preparation using Excel, filing, and processing employees’ government benefits. Her previous experience as a cashier and customer service representative also provided her with hands-on experience in handling transactions and customer inquiries, complementing her background in accounting, purchasing, and operational coordination.
