  • Kiwi showcase! Stephanie Crawford from Business Headspace on turning bookkeepers into business owners, music, sailing and Covid in NZ

    I’m a bookkeeper turned business coach.


    I started my own bookkeeping business from my dining room table 15 years ago and 8 years later, with a solid team, systems and profit, I sold it in order to move into business coaching.


    I’ve been helping bookkeepers to build profitable and systemised businesses for over 7 years now through my one-to-one business coaching, and through my 12-month Mastermind From Bookkeeper to Business Owner, and soon, through my soon-to-be-released online business coaching course for bookkeepers.


    I also keep my hand by working as an accounting software consultant - I’m Certified in Xero, MYOB, and Reckon (which used to be Quickbooks here in NZ) - and as a financial coach for small businesses who want to learn more about their numbers and what they mean for their business.
    I absolutely love helping other bookkeepers to create successful businesses. As bookkeepers, we have an amazing opportunity to make a huge positive difference in the lives of your clients, and in our own lives as well.


    My vision is a world where small businesses, including bookkeeping business, are profitable for their owners, provide a decent living for their employees, and are sustainable in that the business works for the people instead of the people feeling like a slave to the business. The ripple effect of making this happen worldwide is massive.

    When she’s not doing this, she’s interviewing women entrepreneurs on her podcast Conversations About Closets With My Closet 1000 Friends, about what they do, why and what they love about it, with one or two questions in there about clothing (there’s that passion for fashion!).

    Haley is the CEO and accidental LinkedIn expert leading Propegy, the strategic LinkedIn agency on a mission to change the way online service providers use LinkedIn. If you'd told Haley 5 years ago that she'd be a LinkedIn expert teaching online service providers how to use LinkedIn lead gen to grow their business – she'd have laughed in your face. Because like you, she used to *hate* LinkedIn. But when a freelance writing gig turned into a deep dive of LinkedIn's best practices, she realized she'd unlocked the internet's best-kept secret for lead gen, thought leadership, and *insane* business growth. Now Haley helps online service providers like you learn how to make LinkedIn work for your business *and* your lifestyle through her signature program Level Up with LinkedIn Lead Gen, and members-only community, Thought Leaders Collective.
