The Founders of Bookkeeping Biz in a Box

Maria Landrelli

Maria has been involved in mentoring and training franchisees and small business owners (SME) in computer accounting software and business systems since March 1994. Over this time she has helped hundreds of SMEs with their accounting needs using software programs such as MYOB and Quicken.

Since 1995 Maria has been an MYOB Certified Consultant and is one of a small number of specialists around Australia authorised by MYOB Australia Limited to provide training on their behalf. She is also a member of the NIA.

Maria has a Certificate IV in Training & Assessment to ensure she is delivering training to the highest possible standards and has been training small businesses in classroom situations since 1998.

During her career, Maria has been the main trainer of a large international accounting franchise and has setup many of the systems which are still in place today. Over the years she has mentored a number of franchisees to help them create their own profitable businesses and still keeps in contact with a number of them today.

Maria was part of the franchise and had been named the most successful franchisee in NSW on more than one occasion.

Maria has also twice been a mentor for the “Women in Business Mentor” program for the NSW Department of State and Regional Development. The Women in Business Program helps up-and-coming women business owners expand their business.

Ralph Rossteuscher

Ralph has had extensive experience in the corporate world working for both large local and multi-national organisations heading up their commercial and accounting departments.

In 1997 Ralph joined the same international accounting franchise as Maria Landrelli and used the breadth of knowledge gained from his corporate career to become a trainer in MYOB and Quickbooks for SMEs in both the classroom and workplace.

Ralph is also a MYOB Certified Consultant and has built a large prosperous business with a number of bookkeepers working directly for him, providing accounting and business coaching to hundreds of SMEs and not for profit organizations. Ralph still acts as a Chief Financial Officer for a number of these clients today.

In the past Ralph has been named most successful franchisee in NSW and also awarded the most successful franchisee in Australia and New Zealand by the international accounting franchise.

Both Maria and Ralph are members of the National Institute of Accountants and have progressed to a membership level of Fellow (FPNA) of National Institute of Accountants.
