Our Approach
The Business Studio takes a friendly approach to client service, offering reliability and transparency.
We love to start with a coffee and a chat to discover all about you and your business. Listening to your journey provides us with an amazing insight as to where the business has come from, where it is now and what your vision is for the future.
From here, our approach is to come into your business, bring your accounts up to date, establish or improve your processes, and lay a solid foundation for accurate and timely data. Once everything is moving along in a monthly routine, we then go deeper into analysis of the finances prepare monthly management reports, and meet with you regularly with insights. You can anticipate clear explanations of the work we do.
We want you to have great numbers so you can make great decisions.
If your vision is growth and expansion, let us join you and we will work with you as your ongoing, external bookkeeper. Alternatively, we can continue to fill your bookkeeping, accounting and financial management gap until you actually grow big enough to need, and be able to afford, an employee bookkeeper. Once that happens we can train your staff in the processes, and leave you to it!
If your vision is growth without scaling, we will continue to support and work with you as your external bookkeeper.
We love bringing sanity and structure to the lives of small business owners and ultimately to help them gear their businesses for growth and lifestyle.
