EP399: Success Stories Celebrating Canadian Bookkeeping Week

“It’s such a great time to actually look at how we all
are in this ecosystem. And if we support each other and work with
each other, it trickles up.”
-Karolina Francis


Welcome to a special episode celebrating Canadian Bookkeeping
Week!


During this conversation, Michael talks all things bookkeeping
with a special panel of guests. Karolina Francis of KNF
Consulting, Jonathan Carter of Kata Accounting and Melissa Lenos
of King Business Solutions lend their unique perspectives to an
insightful discussion about what it means to be a bookkeeper.


The hardest part of any business is working with people, but it
is also the best part. Our people are our success. Without them
we have nothing, so the more effort we put into our
relationships, the greater the impact and return.


As bookkeepers, we want to see success for our clients. If they
win, we win. And yet it can be hard to find the right people for
us. What makes us a great bookkeeper might not make us a great
leader, marketer, or coach. The panel talks about the value of
finding people to work with whose personalities are congruent
with our own.


If you are struggling to keep pace with changes to the industry
and technology, not sure how to know who you want to work with,
or just want some incredible tips from industry experts, let the
stories in this episode guide the way.
