Most business owners get this wrong: they start a company because they’re experts at their trade — not at running a business. The builder focuses on building, the dentist on seeing patients, the plumber on plumbing. But what actually drives a business isn’t the craft — it’s the numbers. Too many directors neglect the finances, don’t know how to log into Xero or QuickBooks, and rely on their accountant to tell them last year’s profit… only to ask: “If we made £100k, why is there none of it in the bank?” Watch my full podcast with Tom Griffiths! DM me for the link!

 New Podcast Episode Alert! If you’ve ever found yourself in the great bookkeeping software debate — Xero, Intuit QuickBooks, Sage… who reigns supreme? 👀 Well, this week’s guest has no doubts whatsoever! In this episode, my guest, Sallyanne Sheppard MAAT, comes out championing Sage 💚 — sharing exactly why they think it’s the powerhouse tool bookkeepers and accountants should be paying more attention to. We dig into: ✨ What Sage does brilliantly (and where others fall short) 💡 How it supports small businesses in ways many overlook 🔥 And why being a Sage champion isn’t just about software — it’s about strategy. Whether you’re already Team Sage or just Sage-curious, this one will get you thinking differently about your tech stack. 🎧 Tune in wherever you get your podcasts and keep the debate going in the comments: 👉 Are you Team Sage, Team Xero, or Team “whatever makes life easier”? 🎧 Tune in now and catch the latest episode — it’s live! 👉 YouTube: https://tr.ee/IWfSko 👉 Spotify: https://tr.ee/ihg4xX 👉 Apple: https://tr.ee/58hljc

Bookkeeping isn’t just about numbers — it’s about people. Great bookkeepers are relationship builders.

Find clients you connect with, build trust, and focus on communication. When you can calm their financial fears, you’re not just keeping books — you’re changing how they feel about money.

How much does it cost to hire a bookkeeper? It’s one of the most common questions I hear from business owners. And the honest answer is: 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴. The cost of bookkeeping can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars a month to several thousand, and the difference comes down to: 1) The experience and qualifications of your bookkeeper 2) The complexity of your business 3) The scope of services you need In my latest episode of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁, I break down: • Why bookkeeping costs vary so much • Real-world pricing benchmarks from well-known providers • The pros and cons of in-house vs. outsourced bookkeeping • What bookkeeping might cost at different stages of business growth • The 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴 of hiring the wrong bookkeeper And finally, I share a Catholic perspective: bookkeeping isn’t just about numbers. It’s about stewardship. As business owners, keeping accurate books is part of managing well what God has entrusted to us. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gVD_3t5V What questions do you have about bookkeeping costs?
