The countdown to Christmas is on, but are you able to take time out of your bookkeeping practice and have some valuable downtime with your family?
As a practice owner you didn’t build a business so that you’d be tied to your desk all the time. I bet one of the reasons was to get some more freedom, but are you really getting that?
It can be difficult running a business and juggling family life, especially if you don’t have a team of people around to support you. You may outsource some bookkeeping here and there to subcontractors you trust but what’s happening with all your admin?
Do you find yourself working late nights or weekends to keep on top of it all? Do you even get time to work on your business instead of in it?
That’s where Two Birds Resources can help you. If you’re worried about having to work over Christmas and really you’d just love to take a couple of weeks out then let’s have a chat in the new year. We can help you to grow your business by freeing up more time for you to invest in your business and get the freedom you need so that next year, working over Christmas won’t even be something you consider!
How we can help
At Two Birds Resources, we specialise in supporting Bookkeepers, Accountants and Business Coaches with their admin. We work closely with these industries as we’re passionate about helping you to implement the right systems and processes and encouraging you to delegate the jobs that you don’t need to be doing.
Processes
As we have years of experience and knowledge in your industry we can make suggestions to improve your processes. This may include a bit of automation here and there to cover any monotonous tasks. We don’t shy away from automation as we’re not worried it will replace our role, we use it to leverage our time and your time better so we can all focus on what we do best.
Software
If you don’t currently have practice management software in place, we can get this implemented for you so you have all your client data, workflows, email templates/forms and pricing structure all in one place. If you do have software like this then we can review it to ensure you’re using it to its full potential. We know how hard it can be to make time to implement these things in your business when you’re dealing with client work that’s generating the money.
Marketing
If you’re looking to generate more leads in your business then you’ve got to be visible online. Do you have a website and is it up to date? It’s vital as a business owner to have somewhere to direct people to when they want to find out more about you.
The next thing is to ask yourself are you posting on social media consistently? Consistency is key and it can be difficult to set time aside to plan out your social media for the month, let alone think of ideas and get round to scheduling it. We can take all of this off of your hands so you don’t need to worry about being visible and generating the leads. You can concentrate on having those discovery calls that come in.
We can also create lead magnets for your website, encouraging your ideal client to hand over their details in exchange for useful resources for their business. Once we have their details we can put them into a nurture sequence so they’re kept up to date with your practice news, bookkeeping tips and maybe a monthly newsletter.
Leave the nurturing of your leads to us whilst you concentrate on growing your business.
General Admin
Do you have tasks that you find frustrating? Tasks that you don’t enjoy doing? Tasks that take up too much time and if you simply delegated them to someone you’d be able to concentrate on something more important in your business. Any of these tasks which you do that don’t require your expertise as a bookkeeper, we can take off your hands.
We understand that it’s not easy finding the right person to trust to delegate to but we come highly recommended from other bookkeepers and accountants and we really love the work we do to support business owners just like you to grow their businesses and gain more freedom.
I hope this blog has given you an insight into what it would be like to outsource your admin to a VA. I remember, the best gift you can give your business this Christmas is to book a call with us in the new year. Let’s start 2025 in the best way possible, by giving you some support to grow and get back some valuable time!
