About your Trainer
Hi, your trainer is Corina Hardaker
I established Starbyder Bookkeeping Pty. Ltd. in 2017 after gaining extensive hands-on experience across a wide range of industries. I hold a degree in Accounting, am a registered BAS Agent with the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB), and proudly facilitate the monthly Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) meetings for the Bookkeeping community.
Building on my passion for education and industry support, in June 2025, I completed a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment through TAFE Queensland, becoming a qualified Trainer and Assessor. This milestone has allowed me to combine my technical expertise with effective training delivery—ensuring that individuals and business owners not only learn bookkeeping principles, but also understand how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
I genuinely enjoy empowering others by sharing practical tools, systems, and procedures—giving you the skills you needed… like, yesterday! (You know the feeling, right?)

I was doing all of my own bookkeeping before I connected with Starbyder Bookkeeping. My life is so much easier now!
Silvana Reid
I highly recommend Starbyder Bookkeeping. Corina does an amazing job! She is extremely knowledgeable, well organised and reliable. I am an accountant and recently retired from my job. Corina took over to ensure all the functions of the position were efficiently maintained until a permanent replacement could be recruited. She documented procedures as required, did a handover to the successful applicant and supervised her work during a settling in period. Whether you need short term assistance or a permanent bookkeeping service Corina and her staff would more than meet your needs.
