The Club House Series 3

Episode #2 : Edel Hayes

Business: Accelerate Accounting

Summary: Our guest this week, Edel Hayes, talks to us about setting up a business that achieves many goals, supporting other small business and fitting around family life among them. She tells us how The Club supports her and that collaboration is key.

Guest bio:

My name is Edel Hayes. I live in Kildare with my husband and two young children. I started Accelerate Accounting nearly three years ago, after many successful years in the corporate world. However, over time, I felt that my work life balance was out of sync with what my goals were and that my time was not serving my clients to the best of my abilities. I could see that small business owners could achieve amazing results if they had the confidence and clarity to use and act on their financial information. What they needed was the right knowledge and the right support. And so my mission for Accelerate is to change how business owners interact with their accountants!
