I recently attended the ICB Summit and one of my biggest takeaways? Bookkeeping is and will always be MORE than numbers! 🤩

As a true numbers gal, I am all about following the figures to find facts BUT, I also know there's a lot more to it. Sadly, the perception is a little different.

Here's to busting those industry myths 💥

1️⃣ No one-size-fits-all: Every bookkeeper brings unique skills and services to the table—so comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges.

2️⃣ Outsourcing = Growing Your Team: Outsourcing doesn’t mean you’re offshoring (unless you want to?) or failing; it’s about adding skilled hands to help your business thrive. Whether it’s books, socials, or your website, outsourcing is simply a smart move to scale.

3️⃣ Ethics Matter: A registered BAS agent or bookkeeper should only take on work they’re experienced in. Anything less? They’re not doing right by you.

4️⃣ AI & Bookkeeping Evolution: The shift from desktop systems to AI and cloud-based tools means bookkeeping now spans data security, government reporting, and seamless collaboration with accountants.

See?! Bookkeeping isn’t just about reconciling numbers—it’s about empowering your business with the right expertise and tools. 💪🏼

And, I'm proud to be a part of it.
