Hi! Welcome to TwentyTwo Bookkeeping, my name is Chantelle Close. I am a mum of 2 (girls) and 2 puppies (2 x Alaskan Malamutes) and wife to Blake. Why TwentyTwo you ask? It seems to be a number that follows my little family around, my daughter Allara was born on the 22nd, my husband and I got married on the 22nd and the list goes on! It was the right fit for me.

Meet Cassie – Our Trainee Bookkeeper

My Story

Hello! My name is Cassie Russell. I am a mum of 3 (a girl and two boys) and wife to Zac. In my spare time you will find me running around after the kids or on our little block outside of Rockhampton, where we have our array of farm animals and enjoy running and growing our Brangus stud.

My Passion

Having a complete career change from a registered nurse (13 years experience in the healthcare setting) to bookkeeper, I aim to bring my love for helping others and my attention to detail to TwentyTwo Bookkeeping.

My Experience

Although my bookkeeping adventure is only really beginning, I do have 5 years of basic bookkeeping experience from looking after the books for our own small business which is where I began to realise just how much I enjoy it.I obtained my Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping in May 2026 and am incredibly grateful to be given the opportunity to expand my knowledge base under the guidance of Chantelle.
