Meet the Director
SELINA TURNER
Like many before me, what started as a six-month stay in Queenstown back in 2013 turned into something much more permanent — and I’ve never looked back. All these years later, I still feel grateful to live and work in a place that continues to inspire me to make the most of every opportunity.
With a diverse background in bookkeeping and office management, I bring experience from industries such as construction, hospitality, real estate, beauty, and software development. This mix allows me to adapt easily and provide a personable yet professional approach to every client relationship.
I’ve always been fascinated by what separates a smooth, successful business from one constantly battling time and cash flow pressures. Over time, I’ve learned that the difference often comes down to having the right systems, structure, and leadership in place.
At Cadence Bookkeeping, we focus on building those strong foundations — ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and complete compliance with the IRD. My goal is to truly understand each client’s business and help them achieve lasting success through better systems, smarter processes, and meaningful collaboration.
Seeing how our work positively impacts small business owners is incredibly rewarding, and I continue to be motivated by the success and growth of every client we support.

Embracing Change And New Approaches
Change can be intimidating, but it also brings opportunity. I stepped away from a traditional accounting firm because the old way of doing things no longer meets the challenges businesses face today.
Running a business has never been easy — and with so much uncertainty, traditional ideas about how businesses should operate are ready for innovation. Whether you’re a new business or an established one looking to modernise, I offer the experience and professionalism to support you at the level you want to grow into.
Less Clients, Lower Overheads, Better Service.
My goal is simple: to help you strengthen the financial and operational areas of your business so you can focus on what you do best — making money, growing your business, and doing the work that matters to you.
At Cadence, our focus goes beyond transactional bookkeeping. We see ourselves as an extension of your business, providing clarity, structure, and confidence around your financial position.
Cadence is a boutique bookkeeping agency focused on businesses that want to make the most of efficient systems.
Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, Healthy Business
Outside of work, I enjoy everything Queenstown has to offer — mountain biking, trail running, motorbiking, hiking, and yoga. Staying active keeps my mind and body strong, and I bring that same energy and mindset to keeping my clients’ businesses fit and healthy.
We’re stepping into a brave new world — challenging, uncertain, but also full of opportunity with the right mindset. Own your business; don’t let it own you.
Cadence means rhythm — let’s work together to find your flow.
