December 16, 2024 Episode 38 Tanya Vann - Bookkeeping Ace in the Pack
Do you remember why you first fell in love with Bookkeeping and being so passionate about becoming a Bookkeeper. Or perhaps you are new to Bookkeeping and need some inspiration. This episode of Heart of the Bookkeeper may well just remind many of you of why Bookkeeping can be full of joy and excitement and why you can still jump out of bed each day proclaiming - I love being a Bookkeeper. Tanya Vann, the owner of TSM Bookkeeping out of Yeppoon in Queensland, is our guest today in this episode. As a younger Bookkeeper in Australia right now, Tanya explains why she so enjoys the journey of Bookkeeping and her at times unique approach to maintain that joy and reason to keep going in what can be a very challenging profession at times. Navigating motherhood and parenting whilst working, changing towns at a time of uncertainty, working alongside others in a community and how she navigated Covid to build her business as well as her relationship with a very special fellow Bookkeeper, are all found in this episode. And then there is the "Ace in the Pack" story. Please sit back and enjoy the joy, in this episode.

November 20, 2024 Episode 37 Dianne Green - Bookkeeping in Black and White
Dianne Green from Green Bookkeeping Solutions in Melbourne is the guest in this episode of Heart of the Bookkeeper. Dianne (despite her last name being a different colour) sees bookkeeping in Black & White, two colours that have also been important in her life in moments outside of her Bookkeeping journey. Dianne believes that bookkeeping data entry should only be a very small part of the joy and passion that can come with being a Professional Bookkeeper and that it is rather being an influencer and advisor to how Small Business can succeed and operate thanks to working with a great Bookkeeper, that makes the real joy. By working with what numbers can tell as a story and making those numbers come to life working alongside often unsure Business owners, is really what gets her out of bed each day. Lessons learned at High School about numbers and Bookkeeping and the influence of a wise teacher, form part of Dianne's story in this episode. Incapacity in her business, toxic work environments, the sad loss of a very special sister and the crack of lightening and thunder, all get their moments in this fabulous interview. Finally, the "R" word (retirement) is discussed and Dianne outlines her thoughts and why full retirement isn't necessarily on her radar, even once the time to move into a new season comes around. Wonderful insights, a wonderful and thought provoking episode.

July 27, 2024 Episode 35 Krystal Merrett - Farming the Books
Most Bookkeepers face challenges on a daily basis and it is the resilience of Bookkeepers that shines through regularly across Australia, whether that be in the large cities or towns, or way out in the bush. Our guest in this episode, Krystal Merrett, is one of those Bookkeepers who's challenges each day can vary in so many ways, mostly due to the extreme remoteness of her location. Imagine having to do a clients Payroll whilst sitting in the farm ute on the top of a ridge. Or having to travel nearly an hour, just to find a shop that has some paper for the printer. Krystal is one of a new generation of Bookkeepers in Australia who juggles the needs of businesses in her regional district, whilst also assisting her husband and two teenage kids in their own business to run the farm. Based in far western Victoria, Krystal shares the often struggles of being a regional Bookkeeper, but also the highlights of farm life and being part of a small community. A key message in this episode is the journey Krystal and her husband have been on with dealing with succession on the farm and how that can relate to anyone hoping to create longevity and legacy in a business. Another great listen - enjoy.

Gaining an appreciation for Small Business at a very young age, assisting her Grandpa amongst the dirt and grease of a mechanics shop, Nicole almost from the start knew that her calling would come eventually in her own time to Small Business ... she just didn't know where and when.

The highs, the lows and the uncertainties of Nicole's journey, come through strongly in her story to where she finds herself today.

April 23, 2024 Episode 33 Jo Tindale - Belief and worth through Bookkeeping
Often, for those in business, finding self value and worth can be a great challenge, one that can lead down a number of pathways. This episode explores the learnings of someone who has confronted those challenges in business (and in life more generally) and has learned to believe in themselves along the way and to forgive what they don't know. Jo Tindale is the owner of In Control Bookkeeping, based in the Great Southern region of Western Australia and expresses with refreshing honesty, how she has had to confront plenty over her years in her growing as a Bookkeeper. Moving countries, a battle with Cancer, dealing with disappointment in others, finding boundaries in business and how she has emerged from much of this and now looks to inspire younger women and young Mums fighting for their families by working in business ... well ... it just simply is a great listen. We reckon you will enjoy this one.

It would be safe to say that a large percentage of Australia (and the Worlds) population, do not dream of becoming a Bookkeeper as an occupation. Renae Petersen originally from Taranaki in New Zealand and now based in Melbourne Australia, is not one of those people. In fact, Renae was thinking Bookkeeping from a lot younger age than most and made sure that at every turn over the past few decades, she has been working towards her dream of creating and owning, her own Bookkeeping business. It is how Renae achieved that and the adversity she had to go through as part of that journey, that makes this episode of Herat of the Bookkeeper, a very special listen and one that many will find inspiring.
