-----------------------------------------------
In this episode of the Bookkeepers Podcast, Jo welcomes guest Jason Blackman to discuss the topic of pricing from a bookkeeper's perspective. Jason shares his journey into the bookkeeping and accountancy space, starting with his early interest in working with figures and his initial experience in a farm office. He recounts how he became involved in accounts when he was chosen to handle the accounts for a branch of the business, despite having no prior experience. Determined to understand the field better, he pursued accounting courses and developed a passion for double-entry bookkeeping.
Jason talks about his transition from working at a farm to joining an accountancy practice, where he gained valuable experience and eventually decided to start his own practice in 2001. Over the next 12 years, he built his business up to about 200 clients, offering various services including bookkeeping, annual accounts, payroll, and more. However, in 2013, Jason had to reassess his career path. In 2018, he and his wife Claire, started to build up a practice that is now at 125 clients.
The conversation then shifts to the topic of pricing, and Jason reflects on his pricing journey. He mentions that in the early 2000s, hourly rates were the norm, and he initially charged £15 per hour for his services. As technology and automation have advanced, he believes that hourly rates have become less relevant. With the availability of tools like Xero and bank feeds, much of the manual work has been eliminated. Jason argues that instead of focusing on the time spent, bookkeepers should charge a fair fee for the value they provide, even if much of it is automated. He highlights the importance of providing a fixed monthly fee to clients, ensuring transparency and avoiding surprise bills.
Jason also discusses different pricing methods he has come across, such as charging a percentage of turnover or per transaction. While these methods have their merits, he believes that pricing based on the internal components of bookkeeping, taking into account the complexity and volume of transactions, is a fairer approach.
Jason and Jo discuss the importance of finding a pricing structure that aligns with the unique needs of both the bookkeeper and the clients. They emphasise the value of communicating the benefits of the services offered and finding clients who appreciate the expertise and support provided by bookkeepers.

In this episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, hosts Jo and Zoe had a conversation with Rebecca Bridges, who shared her unique journey in the bookkeeping industry. Rebecca started her career in the NHS and worked in corporate settings before venturing into bookkeeping. She established her own practice to find a better work-life balance and accommodate her children's needs while her husband worked. Clients often approach her when they encounter financial challenges or face issues related to unpaid taxes.
Rebecca had ambitious goals and took the proactive step of registering for VAT early in her bookkeeping journey. By chance, she discovered The 6 Figure Bookkeeper group, which played a pivotal role in her decision to transition from a consultant role to establishing her bookkeeping practice. Currently in her third year of business, she successfully manages her workload alongside raising a teenager and an eleven-year-old. Rebecca expressed her wish to have found The 6 Figure Bookkeeper community earlier, as it would have been beneficial for her professional growth.
The conversation delved into Rebecca's experiences during the pandemic and how she navigated the challenges it presented. They also explored the concept of fear of success and the importance of setting business goals, even in the face of uncertainty. Additionally, they discussed the significance of aligning household finances with business aspirations.
Rebecca shared insights into her business structure, including her preference for having multiple projects and an ideal client profile. She touched upon her team composition and mentioned that she still maintains consulting clients alongside her bookkeeping practice. With her current workload at the desired capacity, Rebecca works approximately 20-25 hours per week, earning a sufficient income. She highlighted her newfound confidence in working with larger limited companies, attributing this growth to her association with The 6 Figure Bookkeeper community.
Overall, the conversation with Rebecca Bridges provided an inspiring perspective for bookkeepers who are building their own businesses and seeking to understand the possibilities within the industry.

Find out your next step in bookkeeping.

-----------------------------------------------
In this episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, Zoe and Jo interview Annabel Barnes, who shares her inspiring journey of starting her own bookkeeping practice amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Annabelle explains that she had always worked in the industry but was looking for a change when the pandemic hit. With her son having a congenital heart defect, she needed flexibility to work from home, which her new employer denied. So, she decided to explore the idea of setting up her own bookkeeping practice.
Annabel approached her employer with the idea, and to her surprise, they supported her and became her first client once she obtained her license in June 2020. Working around her two young children, Annabel gradually acquired more clients, primarily in the beauty, care, and construction industries. The growth of her business led her to establish a limited company in April 2021. Eventually, her husband joined the business as a bookkeeper after leaving his previous job.
Annabel emphasises the importance of flexibility in her work-life balance, allowing her and her husband to prioritise their children and attend to their needs. She shares how being self-employed offers them the freedom to choose their hours and accommodate family commitments, such as school runs and medical appointments. Annabelle also discusses the significance of building strong relationships with clients based on shared values and open communication.
The episode concludes with Annabel mentioning her expanding team, which now includes support with social media, blogs, websites, and project work. She recently hired two new bookkeepers whom she is training to take on more responsibilities, allowing her to focus on higher-level tasks and the overall growth of the business.
Annabel's story serves as an inspiration to other bookkeepers and entrepreneurs, highlighting the power of resilience, adaptability, and building a supportive team.
