Financial Management Triage for Entrepreneurs is covered in this podio, along with the following subjects:- Starting a business the right way- The DIY approach to bookkeeping- Cash Flow Management***************************************Financial Management Triage is a process for evaluating financial situations quickly and prioritizing actions to address them. Most small businesses have financial management challenges whether it's taxes, bookkeeping, cash flow, financing, or many other issues. You are not alone even if your issues span several years.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore how AI is transforming the way small businesses operate with Akankshu Dhawan, SVP of Small Business & Growth at Xero. With a growing focus on productivity in the wake of a significant decline for small businesses, Akankshu shares how Xero is reimagining accounting through the integration of AI and mobile technologies.  Xero's latest innovation, Just Ask Xero (JAX), is an AI-powered business companion that helps small businesses manage finances and make smarter decisions on the go. Whether it's generating invoices, predicting cash flow, or providing real-time business insights, JAX is designed to offer proactive support across commonly used platforms like WhatsApp, email, and SMS. We discuss how small business productivity in the UK has dropped by 7% in the past year, leaving many owners struggling to keep up. Akankshu explains how AI can be the game changer for these businesses, automating repetitive tasks like bank reconciliation and invoicing, while also delivering critical insights to help owners focus on what they do best. As Xero continues to integrate AI into its platform, the combination of mobile tech and generative AI is making accounting more accessible, allowing business owners to take control of their finances from anywhere. Akankshu highlights the practical ways in which AI is reshaping the future of small business management. He explains how tools like JAX provide not just faster processes but also deeper insights, helping businesses make informed decisions. The enhanced Xero mobile app is a key part of this strategy, offering new features like predictive cash flow forecasting, mobile bank reconciliation, and the ability to manage invoices on the go. This episode offers valuable insights into how Xero is bridging the gap between small businesses and the promise of AI-driven productivity. Could tools like JAX finally bring AI's benefits to small businesses? Tune in to hear Akankshu's thoughts on the future of financial management and how AI is helping small businesses thrive.

In this episode of the AmiSights Podcast, we chat with Michael Ly, the founder and CEO of Reconcile. Michael shares his journey of starting the company in 2016, driven by a mission to support entrepreneurs by handling their daily bookkeeping and accounting needs, allowing them to concentrate on their core business strengths. “The business owner or the entrepreneur, they don't start a business because they're excited about accounting,” he said. “They start a business because they're passionate about a product or service they want to provide to the world and provide to their end customer, and accounting generally is not that service unless you're an accountant.” Today's episode will explore why rapid growth doesn't immediately translate into cash flow, as the need to hire more employees increases. We'll also discuss the challenges of finding qualified accountants, a task made even more difficult since the pandemic, which saw 300,000 accountants leave the industry. Lastly, we'll dive into strategies for building a strong company culture within a fully remote environment.

Wondering what it's like to work with a tax professional? In this episode, I continue last week's conversation about how to prepare for a stress-free tax season and invite Kenya Todd, our account manager, to lay out what it's like to work with Little Fish. Not only do we lay out what our year-round service, Tax Prep Suite, entails, but we also interview one of our clients, Nix Avant-Brown, about her experience with this service.

When I first started Little Fish, I had one mission – to make accounting information accessible and digestible for small business owners who are often left out of the conversation. I didn't have my branding figured out, I didn't have a clear target audience in mind, and I didn't even have a business plan or a real goal until this year. So this episode is for my listeners who have dreamed about starting a business of their own, but are remaining on the fence because they don't know where or how to begin. In this episode, I share why you don't need to have everything figured out before starting your business. Then, I walk you through the things you should prioritize as you continue to build your business. This episode is your permission to simply just start and go after the business you can't stop thinking about. Tune in, take notes, and know that you're not alone on this crazy, exciting journey of entrepreneurship.Looking for tips, insights, and support with all your accounting needs?

Tracking your time reveals the gaps and needs in your business so that you can develop a more strategic plan of action.

Making enough income in just one side of the equation. Making enough income at the right moment so that you have the cash on hand to pay your team and vendors is another. However, the latter is key to keeping your company afloat.That is why in today's episode, we're talking about the most common cash flow challenges and what you can do about that. Most of the time, what you have isn't a bill paying issue. Instead, not being able to categorize and do your bookkeeping is the culprit. In this episode, I'm talking about why bookkeeping is the foundation of everything, how you should think and approach your invoicing, and how to manage your accounts payable and team payments. We also discuss the importances of planning a budget that covers your expenses, and how to keep track of the cash you have at hand.This is a quick and easily digestible episode that'll help you build your business's finances on solid footing, so tune in and take notes!Looking for tips, insights, and support with all your accounting needs?

The world of finance is one that's often considered to be largely anonymous, but it shouldn't have been like this. The financial industry has had more than its fair share in terms of scandals and problems thanks largely due to RPA who were able to provide assistance during times when few others could or would go.We got the opportunity to speak to Mr. Zubair Choudhry, CMA (Australia), RPA, APACertified Accounting Practitioner. Zubair is a visionary, a thinker, an entrepreneur and a motivator. He has been involved in many national, international and professional organizations in Canada. In 2019, he was elected as President of The Society of Professional Accountants of Canada when he pledged that he is going to reform and improve the RPA designation, one of the oldest accounting designations in Canada that will give the choice and hope to future accountants in Canada and around the world to succeed and shine as a most respectable profession in the world.In this podcast, he highlights the RPA designation to future accountants who are ready to assist the business leaders in making an important business decision with a cognitive approach and who are trained in applying new technologies using data analytics that will accelerate the business growth and profitability in post-covid-19 economic recovery.

Small Biz Matters – #193 Providing the small business community with educational content and advocacy since 2014with Alexi Boyd, broadcaster, advocate and small business owner.Date: 26 January 2021 Have you ever wondered what your accountant and bookkeeper really thinks? How about tapping into that wealth of expertise to gain an understanding of the transition between 2020 to 2021 and the potential impact on your small business? Last week I was lucky enough to be invited by ReceiptBank to moderate a panel of such experts; tapping into the knowledge, experience and opinions from three giants of the accounting and bookkeeping world. With hundreds of small businesses between them, this panel brought with them not only a diagnosis on 2020 but a prognosis for 2021. 2021 is sure to be an important year for businesses as they look to bounce back and maintain consistent growth. But for this to be possible, these businesses will need brilliant business-minded accountants supporting them. Stuart Brandman from 542 Partners, Rebecca Laut from The Business Organiser & Kaia Kaldoja - from BlueRock Books, discussed the ongoing challenges for their industry in 2021, and how cloud accounting technology can help support businesses prepare for success. Let’s have a listen to what they have to say, and what we can learn from their expertise. Q1 – Reflecting on 2020, do you believe the challenges the accounting industry faced in 2020 going to bleed into 2021? Rebecca - advisory has played a major role in growth of the industry. It is a combination of services and depends on the types of businesses we work with. Particularly what at stage of their business their clients are at the time. Some will be growth phase if they were expanding whereas others are in the process of contracting, or even closing . Either way, 2020 has brought with it a more advisory focus. Stuart – Chat about the stimulus and its impact on clients and practices. Thanks to this major change to legislation we are all playing catchup with timetables and getting back to an even playing field on compliance and challenges. What do you mean by an even playing field? Keeping on top of billable hours - practical tips around how to make Our roles are busy enough. Finding the space to grow and keep track. Kaia – expanding on their points and bringing it back around to technology and implementation. How does tech help us to keep on top of advisory and our OWN business growth. We have to remember we too are businesses needing to focus on ourselves! All - Discussion - What role has tech played in the development of your business in 2020? Q2 – So speaking of Advisory services, what does that mean from a practical perspective? Rebecca - what does advisory mean practically? Being a partner to the business, showing interest, being supportive. Genuinely human and knowing the differences between businesses. BUT we don’t take enough time to look at our OWN businesses. Kaia – Planning your own business should be number 1. Setting up for success. Is it crucial to use the tech products before suggesting your clients. It becomes about people power and some practices might not have the time or staffing to action this. Stuart – how do you implement change in your own business? How has the format changed? And now we can commoditise it. Tech joining with expertise. And that is a challenge to combining your use and skill with tech and then conveying the message to your clients All - Discussion - So if the concept of Advisory has evolved because of 2020, did tech evolve fast enough to keep up? In terms of advisory what app in your stack could you not live without? Q3 - Implementation of tech - how do we find the time to transition to use it better and switch to advisory. Stuart - what are some practical ways to translate the tech and advisory and compliance? Stuart Firstly ask yourself WHY you’re implementing the technology? What is going to enhance the message? THEN look at the best option.  Then look at your team & clients likelihood of using it. Kaia – practical tips for implementing tech with clients. The client needs to be able to USE it. Get the team on board - set up a competition! Don’t forget your clients needs to know how to use it soo! Rebecca  – If you’re listening as owner of a a smaller firm, what do you suggest in terms of implementation? All - Discussion -  Do bigger firms implement tech better because they have the manpower to access, learn and deal with change management? To find out more go to their website: www.jimmyhalfpenny.com.au  About our Guests: Rebecca Laut - Director at The Business Organiser Rebecca is a cloud software specialist who supports businesses in the design and implementation of cloud technology platforms.

I've been having lots of discussions with my community recently about investing in accounting software, and whether it's an expense they can afford. This often comes after they share the all too familiar stories about staying up to the early hours to sort out their books and not really knowing how profitable their business actually is. After regularly spruiking the tool that I've used from day one in business, I knew I wanted to ask someone from the company to come onto the podcast and do the talking.

Joining me on this episode is Angus Capel, the Small Business Advocate at Xero.

Not all expense is created equal.Some expense is incurred for products and services that have a finite useful life or cover a finite period: office supplies, the electric bill, employee wages.

These purchases are known as capital expenses.It doesn’t make sense to account for the purchase a commercial oven in the same way you would record your purchase of printer paper.On today’s episode, I explain how to account for your business’s capital expenses.Check out the show notes at www.catherinefairweather.com/017.

Small business accounting is a topic that many entrepreneurs needlessly struggle with when they're getting their feet wet with running a business. For me, I have a simple tracking system of my expenditures. And usually, when it comes to invoicing, I usually opt to get paid on the front end. Outside of that, I really don't have too much to keep track of.However, I realize I'm not a true representation of most business owners. Most business owners need a platform that can do more than AR/AP. They might need something that takes care of payments and is a CRM on top of that. A one stop location for all of your financial bookkeeping.That's where Freshbooks comes in.In our chat today, Matt Baker, VP of Corporate Strategy and International Expansion at Freshbooks, shares with us what numbers of business owners should be paying attention to.We also discuss the process of de-risking the move to self-employment as well as what he'd recommend to entrepreneurs starting out in the Midwest.
