Bye law update – compliance
|
|
|
|
|
During the September Council meeting the IAB Council approved updates to the association’s bye laws to allow for non-compliance to be dealt with in a more efficient way.

Effectively market your practice
|
|
|
|
|
Working with bookkeepers in practice, there are two questions that come up time and time again. The first is “how do I price my services?” The second is “how do I find new clients?”
It might seem strange, but the answer to both these questions starts in the same way. Know your ideal client. It’s only when you know who you want to work with that you can start to get a clearer idea of how to find them. It’s only when you understand your solution to their pain, problem and fear that you can effectively price your service.

Improving your tax return season
|
|
|
|
|
It’s that time of year again.
That time of year when suddenly you realise that the 31st of January is fast approaching, you somehow need to deal with Christmas, and if you’re lucky, getting some time off to spend with your family and loved ones.
You realise that, despite the letters you sent out in April to remind your clients that their tax returns can now be filed at any time, no one has sent you any information.

One chance to make the right impression to a candidate
|
|
|
|
|
Whether it’s a new client you’re pitching for, or trying to hire the right person, the challenges are the same – they have options and can be choosey! Candidate experience during the recruiting process is make or break. You will be judged, and it’s very hard to shake off a bad first impression. Negative experiences are not only a turn off for candidates but in smaller communities can damage your overall brand reputation.

|
|
|
Many of you, who regularly read my blog, will know I have recently had the incredible opportunity of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. This is an experience that will live with me for a very long time. Since my return I have continually asked myself, what did I learn? I can honestly say the lessons were numerous!
