Running a bookkeeping or accounting firm means juggling multiple clients, deadlines, and deliverables - often leading to that feeling of "I'm drowning in work!" As someone who's built a successful practice while working 20 hours or less per week, I've discovered that how you organize and manage your workflow makes all the difference between constant overwhelm and smooth operations.

Whether you're flying solo or leading a small team, these three actionable strategies will help you streamline your processes, reduce stress, and scale your firm without the burnout.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • Three actionable strategies to centralize your workflows and processes in one place
  • How to implement a standardized file naming system that saves you hours of searching
  • Tips for designing your week with focus blocks to avoid context switching and burnout
  • Real examples of how I apply these strategies in my own bookkeeping business
