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.

June 09, 2024 Episode 34 Nicole Sweeny - Revolutionary Bookkeeper
Professional Bookkeeper Nicole Sweeny from regional South Australia, and owner of Revolution Consulting, is our guest in this episode of Heart of the Bookkeeper.
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. A chance trip overseas, followed by some dark times facing a form of Domestic violence, finally saw Nicole emerge stronger and more convicted than ever to create her own pathways in the form of a Bookkeeping practice. The highs, the lows and the uncertainties of Nicole's journey, come through strongly in her story to where she finds herself today. Innovation through tech, drives Nicole and her Bookkeeping business currently and we get to examine this, in this wonderful episode. Don't miss having a listen.

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.

March 19, 2024 Episode 32 Renae Petersen - The dream of being a Bookkeeper
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.

September 22, 2023 Episode 27 Debbie Roberts - Absolute Pure Bookkeeping
Debbie Roberts is a Bookkeeper, an author, an entrepreneur and in many peoples eyes, simply an inspiration in the Bookkeeping Community of Australia. Debbie has ridden the high points and the low points of Bookkeeping for more than 3 decades and in this episode, we get to hear that journey with so many lessons learned and takeaways. The inspiration of Debbies Mum shines through, who almost single handedly brought her up and 5 other siblings of Debbies, after the sad and very early loss of her Dad. Debbie describes her early attempts to build a Bookkeeping practice and how that spiralled out of control and so very nearly ran herself into the ground. And then a chance connection with one of the biggest selling authors of the 20th Century, changed everything and turned "working in your business" into "working on your business" and a whole new approach to living life and getting immense happiness from it as well as new found joy in doing Bookkeeping. We delve into how a brush with a significant health scare, made her very aware that, just when Debbie thought she had done all she needed to do in Bookkeeping, revelation came that she in fact has a whole lot more to give and that the challenges so many Bookkeepers have on a daily basis in Australia, are the same challenges that continue to drive her to help those who reach out and the chance to unlock ways to overcome and achieve amazing things. A wonderful story ... a wonderful listen.

July 29, 2023 Episode 26 Natalie Drazil - Bookkeeping through adversity
"Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity." This is the quote of someone who clearly understood our guest in this episode of Heart of the Bookkeeper, Natalie Drazil, owner of NJD Bookkeeping based in Adelaide, South Australia. Natalie has had to do things often "the hard way" as she has balanced challenges in her life whilst trying to grow a "sole trader" Bookkeeping practice, but the "something worthwhile" that she has managed to achieve despite these challenges, is worth tuning it to hear. Nursing's loss has been Bookkeepings gain and Natalie, with great heart, explains how she came into an acceptance of certain circumstances that fell her way across a journey, that may not have been exactly what she thought may play out when much younger. The positive influence of family, a resuscitation dummy and unique ballroom dancing shoes, are all part of the Natalie Drazil Bookkeeping story. Take time out of your day to have a listen to this wonderful interview. You will be glad you did.
