  The Strategic Bookkeeper - EP170 - Busy Bookkeeper Reset Q&A

  Aug 13, 202620 min

  I’ve been getting some great questions ahead of The Busy Bookkeeper Reset. And I realised, a lot of them deserve more than a quick answer. So in this week’s episode of The Strategic Bookkeeper Podcast, I’m sitting down to answer three of them properly. I’m sharing → why pricing is so much more than choosing an hourly rate, → how the right positioning can allow you to charge significantly more and improve client satisfaction, and → why fixing your time problem may have very little to do with time management. There are some powerful real-life examples in this episode too, including what changed for one bookkeeper when she doubled her prices without losing a single client. There is often far more potential sitting inside the practice you already have than you realise. Listen to the episode now and see what potential you might be leaving on the table. And if this gets you thinking about what needs to change in your own practice, come and join me for The Busy Bookkeeper Reset on 26 August. It’s free, it’s practical.

  The Strategic Bookkeeper - EP168 - More Clients Won't Fix This

  Jul 16, 202614 min

  A full client list can still leave you underpaid. It was certainly one of the hardest lessons I learnt in my own bookkeeping practice. I had clients. I had staff. Revenue was growing. From the outside, it looked like I had built a successful practice. But behind the scenes, I was working incredibly hard for far too little return. In this episode of The Strategic Bookkeeper Podcast, I share why so many bookkeepers are building busy instead of building thriving, and the two areas that made the biggest difference to my practice. ✨ Your products and pricing ✨ How you communicate your value If your practice is busy but it isn't giving you the income or freedom you hoped for, this episode will help you identify what's really holding your practice back. 🎧 Listen to the latest episode now. — 🔄️ If this feels uncomfortably familiar, the Busy Bookkeeper Reset is your next step. This free online workshop is designed to help overworked and underpaid bookkeepers identify what is keeping their practice stuck — and start making the changes that lead to better pricing, stronger profit and more time back.

  The Strategic Bookkeeper - EP167 - Seven Signs Your Bookkeeping Business Is Broken

  Jul 2, 202618 min

  The biggest risk to a bookkeeping practice isn't a lack of clients — it's building a business that keeps getting busier... without becoming truly profitable. Behind a full calendar often sits a broken business model that was never designed to scale. The challenge is that broken business models rarely announce themselves. Instead, they quietly become accepted as "just part of being a bookkeeper." Working evenings. Taking on low-value work. Believing that’s simply what running a bookkeeping practice looks like. But what if those aren't just challenges that come with the job? Join Jeannie in this week's podcast as she explores why what you’ve accepted as "normal" may be the very thing keeping your practice stuck—and reveals the seven signs your business model needs rethinking. 🎧 Listen now. 🚨 Make more money and win more time back.

  The Strategic Bookkeeper - EP166 - The one nurture asset that will make selling easier

  Jun 18, 202620 min

  The gap between “I need help” and “Yes, I’ll pay for that” is where many bookkeeping sales get stuck. A business owner finds you, likes what they see, and reaches out for help. But if the very next conversation is about a large catch-up, rectification, or monthly bookkeeping commitment, they can pull back. That is where things get clunky. In this week’s episode of The Strategic Bookkeeper Podcast, Jeannie shared how one simple nurture asset can bridge that gap — helping your prospective client take a smaller, easier first step while positioning you as the expert they can know, like, and trust. This is how selling starts to feel less like convincing… and more like leading. 🎧 Listen to the latest episode now. 🎫 Want to see how this fits into the bigger picture of building a profitable bookkeeping practice?
