Show Notes

Technology and the industry are changing and we need to get onboard with it. 

Run the business as a micro project - 12 micro projects for each client.

The key to these projects is understanding the scope of deliverables. It is a scope of deliverable not a scope of work. It is not about effort - it is about deliverable.

It is a people business. Talk to people. it is a relationship business. 

Opportunity for bookkeeping - need to spend the time to work on the business.

Where value is putting tools together to deliver effective processes.

Stop looking at yourself as a bookkeeper or accountant. 

Look for opportunities to build the business.

Business is a journey. Don't overthink it - just do it. Must move to value pricing.

Steve Major and Mel Power of Bookkeeper Revolution do another episode of the Voice of the Revolution.

In this episode we are joined by Jamie Davison of Carbon Group and Cassandra Scot of Laurus Bookkeeping to discuss a topic that has been causing some discussion in the accounting and bookkeeping circles.

Mel Power and Steve Major interview a panel of Trent Mclaren, Diane Oliver and Rhondalynn Korolak about the transformational bookkeeper.

Bookkeepers have a unique relationship, they have credibility.

The community has come alive recently, especially on social media. Geographic barriers are reducing

Important to be helping businessees with cashflow as it is the biggest pain point for businesses.

We aren't in the software business, but in the business of relieving pain.

The key aspect here is to have the correct mindset of wanting to advise businesses not just to enter data.

Positioning is an important issue for bookkeepers. You can not be all things to all people - you have to identify who you want to work with.

Key takeaways from this session: AI will continue to grow, the time to adapt is now. What can you do? Lay the foundations, decide what types of customers you want to work with. Move towards the advisory space. It’s a journey. Don’t wait until it happens, choose the work you want to do.

If you don’t collaborate and use cloud technology, you’re going to get left behind.

Keep looking forward, now where you want to be in the future, have a strategy, you need to be able to measure what you are doing. Start today, don’t wait.
