Hey, I’m Jaynie.

I bet I love the boring stuff you hate. I’m an average, sometimes surfer. I love the beach, sunshine and my family. I laugh and sneeze loud. Quite frankly, a bit of a nerd.

I started Illuminate Co., originally in the construction space, helping businesses run more smoothly behind the scenes.

Not with theory. With practical, real-world support that makes a genuine difference day to day.

With over 13 years in business, both running my own company and working in partnership, plus hands-on experience across construction, finance and collections, I understand how things actually play out in the real world.

I've made my own mistakes, learnt the hard way, seen incredibly well-run operations, and witnessed some serious inefficiencies. I know how quickly things become harder than they need to be when systems aren't quite right, numbers aren't clear, or follow-up isn't consistent.

And I know that the best systems in the world mean nothing if no one is actually using them.

My approach is calm, practical and consistent. I focus on putting structure around the parts of your business that tend to drift, so things run properly and nothing slips through the cracks.

I hold a diploma in construction (QS major), a certificate in project management, and I'm a Xero Partner and Certified Adviser. That gives me a strong commercial and operational foundation across the businesses I work with.

Systems & Processes

I'm experienced across a wide range of business systems and pick these up quickly when faced with a new one to learn. I take a structured approach to documenting and implementing processes so there's minimal disruption to your day-to-day.

Receivables & Follow-Up

A significant part of what I do is supporting receivables and debtor follow-up. My approach is clear, consistent and professional, built on the understanding that most people want to pay. It's about maintaining relationships while still following things through and getting a result.

Your Point of Contact

Where needed, I work alongside a trusted network, but you'll always have a clear, consistent point of contact. One person who knows your business and keeps things moving.
