💗 Heart of the Bookkeeper with Tanya Vann 💗 Do you remember why you first fell in love with bookkeeping and were so passionate about becoming a bookkeeper? Or you may be new to bookkeeping and need some inspiration. This episode of Heart of the Bookkeeper may remind many of you why bookkeeping can be full of joy and excitement and why you can still jump out of bed each day proclaiming - I love being a Bookkeeper. Tanya Vann, the owner of TSM Bookkeeping out of Yeppoon in Queensland, is today's guest in this episode. As a younger bookkeeper in Australia right now, Tanya explains why she enjoys the journey of bookkeeping and her unique approach to maintaining that joy and reason to keep going in what can be a very challenging profession at times. Navigating motherhood and parenting whilst working, changing towns at a time of uncertainty, working alongside others in a community and how she navigated Covid to build her business, as well as her relationship with a very special fellow Bookkeeper, are all found in this episode. And then there is the "Ace in the Pack" story. Please sit back and enjoy the joy in this episode.

Reminder: myGovID has officially changed its name to myID. While the name and appearance have changed, the functionality remains the same, and you can continue to use it as you did before. However, ICB would like to clarify a few things to ensure a smooth transition. You may notice a reference to “Digital ID”. Please don’t be confused; it is part of the update, and the system remains the same. We are currently seeking clarification from the ATO regarding the use of the “Digital ID” branding rather than “My ID”. The process should proceed without issue, and the system should remain secure despite the different terminology. 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gBZdG4gy #ICBAustralia #Bookkeeping #ATO
