Numbers are my thing. All through school, maths was super easy for me, I ploughed through the advanced class and loved it.

Ask me about legals and SEO? Absolutely no idea 👀

Yeah, I've read a couple of articles and worked with a few specialists but, here's the clincher, reading about it does not make me a specialist.

Please, do your research before you hand your books over. There's never been an easier time to parade yourself all over socials as a guru and I'm witnessing the full impact of those false claims.

Some of the worst? ⤵️
❌ Years of records deleted
❌ Missing BAS's resulting in hefty fines
❌ Incorrect Super Payments (more fines)
❌ Hairy Xero files resulting in expensive clean-ups

Yes, you might pay more for a professional but do you really want to risk it?

Did you read that? You do not have to do your own bookkeeping 👏🏼

Stop doing the things you don't like and pass them off. You'll save time, money and overwhelm in the process.

Have you booked a bookkeeping appointment with you

Have you booked a bookkeeping appointment with yourself this week? ⏰

If you are managing your own books, it's really important you're across the ins and outs of your accounts.

It doesn't have to be an overwhelming exercise. Start small and be consistent ⤵️

➡️ Check your bank account daily for incoming funds, and pay any expenses you need to.
➡️ Every week spend 15 minutes cross-checking your expenses, recording new expenses, cross-checking for double ups and incorrect amounts and doing your reconciling in your accounting software.
➡️ Spend 30 minutes a fortnight managing your money. Set aside what you need for Tax, BAS, expenses and savings.
➡️ Spend 1 hour a month strategising your money. Take note of your profit vs your goals, and make plans for the next month.

How much time are you spending on your books every month? 🤔

Remember, knowing and understanding your numbers is key to your success.

→ A bookkeeper to keep your finances ticking over
→ An accountant to plan and strategise with you
→ Education and support to get yourself from column A to column B

Take 5 minutes and plan your profit 💰
