Meet Jessica Stebbings
Jessica Stebbings is an experienced Chartered Accountant, specialising in small business accounting.
We have been lucky to have Jessica as our go-to on all things Xero and IRD since she joined Loom Shared Space in late 2020. She has her own office now, but after getting hooked on the magic of coworking she has remained a member and comes in for regular coworking days.
What do you do?

What is your favourite thing about coworking?
Bouncing ideas and learning from other members.

We are so spoilt for choice for food in Pukekohe - Love Blue Ox Babe and the toasties and fresh juices at The Daily Goods are amazing!
