How Zesty Virtual Assistants was born

Founded by Heidi, a seasoned business owner with over 20 years of experience, Zesty was built to give business owners the freedom to focus on what truly matters – growing their business and enjoying life outside of work.

A bit about Heidi

From early childhood teaching to business leadership

Heidi’s journey began in London, where she worked as a mentor and advisor for early childhood centres. From there, her love of problem-solving and streamlining systems grew as she returned to New Zealand and ran her own businesses, including a rental company, managing a childcare business, and a retail shop with her husband. These experiences gave her an in-depth understanding of managing finances, leading teams, and navigating the pressures of business ownership.

Running Zesty is more than just a business – it’s a way to help others succeed

After years of running her own businesses and working across various industries, Heidi saw first-hand how time-consuming and draining back-office tasks can be.

This diverse experience laid the foundation for Zesty Virtual Assistants, where the mission is simple: to make business easier for you.

Whether you’re drowning in admin, struggling with payroll, or looking for strategic support, Zesty has the expertise to take the load off your shoulders.
