About Us

Founded in 2021 by Liesl and Jane, the name ElanJay comes from their initials, “L and J”.

After many years working closely together leading accounts teams for multiple diverse businesses, they saw first-hand how confusing and impersonal accounting services can often feel for business owners - and they knew there was a better way to support clients.

The team at ElanJay reflects the enthusiasm, professionalism, and personal care that Liesl and Jane bring to every client they support.
