🌟 The Unsung Hours: A Glimpse into After-Hours Accounting 🌟 In the world of accounting, the hours we work often extend beyond the traditional 9 to 5. 🕒 While the daily grind is crucial, it’s the after-hours effort that truly shapes the accuracy and reliability of our financial reporting. ✨ Why We Work Late: Meeting Deadlines: Whether it’s preparing for a quarterly report or ensuring compliance with new regulations, the deadline-driven nature of accounting often means burning the midnight oil. Precision Matters: Balancing ledgers, reconciling accounts, and verifying transactions requires meticulous attention to detail that sometimes needs uninterrupted time. Client Needs: Serving clients means being available when they need us most, and that often extends beyond conventional business hours. 🔍 What We Gain: Enhanced Accuracy: Extra hours allow us to delve deeper into data and ensure everything is spot-on. Professional Growth: Tackling complex problems in a quiet environment can lead to new insights and skills. Client Trust: Going the extra mile often translates to better client satisfaction and trust. 🛠️ Balancing Act: While late nights are part of the job, finding a balance is key. Time management and self-care are essential to sustain our passion and productivity in the long run. Here’s to all the dedicated accountants burning the midnight oil to keep the wheels of business turning smoothly! 🌟🔢 #Accounting #Finance #WorkLifeBalance #AfterHours #Dedication #ClientService #ProfessionalGrowth

Hello August! Wow, July went fast. Now it's time to enjoy the 6 week school holidays...... plus it's now time to juggle the work/life balance. Mid-July, I sent a message to the team on @asana, saying "holiday season is here". Then, I asked them to ensure their workload is covered while they are away. We are all for flexibility. Everyone deserves a break, and to spend time with their families. As a small business owner, it can be difficult to find that work/life balance. We often get new clients come to us, because they are finding that they are rushing their VAT returns at the very last minute. It's a task they dread every quarter. When they outsource the bookkeeping and VAT return submissions to us. They have such a sense of relief. Knowing that these tasks are no longer on the to do list. Knowing that it is being done ahead of the deadline and also knowing that they are claiming the correct VAT back. Are you ready to outsource your bookkeeping and VAT return submissions? Imagine not having to do this over the summer break. Book a call with us today. Link in the comments. #Bookkeeping #VATreturns #SmallBusiness #Outsource #Quickbooks

Your value DOES NOT come from the # of hours you charge.⁠ (Even though it's what we're taught to believe.⁠ 🙄) ⁠ It's what we're told is the only way to be successful.⁠ ⁠ Your firm expects 2,000 billable hours from you each year. And you likely can't skip over that.⁠ ⁠ But what I've come to realize is that no one is working 2,000 hours to bill 2,000 hours.⁠ ⁠ They're working more like 2,500+ hours to hit that goal. 🤯⁠ ⁠ (And of course that doesn’t include the time needed for Business Development, Continuing Education or the other administrative tasks that you're required to stay on top of. 🥵)⁠ ⁠ If you're lucky, your minimum looks like 55 hours/week. 😩⁠ ⁠ Which ends up looking something like 8am to 10pm with quick meal breaks and weekend work. 😠⁠ ⁠ It's killing you.⁠ ⁠ We both know that you were NOT hired for the number of hours you bill.⁠ ⁠ They hire you for what you know.⁠ They hire you for your contributions.⁠ They hire you to get their desired result.⁠ ⁠ Clients don't care how many hours you charge. ⁠ ⁠ They care about getting what they need.⁠ ⁠ In the profession, we’re thinking about it backwards. ⁠ ⁠ But you follow along because you don't see another way.⁠ ⁠ I'm here to tell you there is another way.⁠ ⁠ One where you get things done and log off at a reasonable hour.⁠ One where you say NO to fluff and YES to your weekly spin class.⁠ One where you've mastered delegating tasks and don't worry about someone taking your chargeable hours.⁠ ⁠ My clients are breaking this cycle and I want to show you exactly how you can do it, too. ⁠ ⁠ It starts with booking a consultation. Claim your spot ASAP.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ P.S. Anyone out there charging based on "fixed fee billing"? Sounds like more of it is coming, but I find it better aligns with the interest of both the client and the firm. I'd love to know your experience.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #CPA #taxseason #accountingfirm #publicaccountinglife #accountingforlife⁠ #accountingislife #accountinglife
