The Bookkeepers' Podcast

This week we're joined by business coach and author, Della Hudson, to talk about pricing bookkeeping services. Many bookkeepers find pricing difficult, particularly starting out. It can be tempting to set a low price to win work, without considering our business's financial success.

This week we go into detail about where to start when considering how to price, with some tips and advice you can implement today.

This week we're delighted to be joined by Sarah Newland, Process Strategist from Keyboard Smash. When we start out running our bookkeeping businesses, we just do what we need to do to make things happen, but sometimes the processes we set up aren't quite right, we miss things out or frequently forget steps. This is the time to think about streamlining but that can seem tricky when were already busy with the day to day so in this episode we talk to Sarah about how bookkeepers can:

- find time to systemise your business

- use non-industry specific software to manage monthly task lists and work flows

- use Trello to track leads

- move clients off of your social media channels and into your inbox

Systemising your bookkeeping business is the first step in getting ready to delegate tasks and take on staff so that you can grow your business, and we discuss how having clear processes and workflows can help you work more efficiently and get some time back to do what matters.

On the podcast today we share practical advice for systemising your bookkeeping business which you can start to put into place today and Jo and Zoe share some of their own tips on managing workflows as business owners.

This week we're delighted to be joined by Sam Fairbairn from Float. With so much pressure on so many businesses, there's no time like the present to start making the move into advisory services.

Our clients need to plan ahead, understand their cash flow and change up their businesses, and as the people closest to our clients figures, we're well placed to do that. Advisory can seem complicated though. Where do you start? How do you sell that service to your client if you've never done it before? How do you price?

On the podcast today we share practical experiences of offering advisory services in our own bookkeeping practices and Sam shares his advice on getting started.

In this episode, Zoe shares what's been happening in her business since COVID-19 hit. She gives a personal take on the situation facing many bookkeepers and shares the practical approach she's taken to decision making, to simplifying her business and her personal life.

Zoe sets out a process you as a finance professional can follow if you're feeling overwhelmed with what's happening right now and all of the demands on your time. She recommends simplifying, focusing on just a few ares of life and giving yourself just a few tasks to work through each day to keep moving forwards without feeling you have to give in to all of the demands on your time.
