Wall of Love Accountant_She

There’s something for everyone in this podcast, bookkeeper, accountant, tax adviser; in whatever stage you’re at in your business. It’s inclusive, real, incredibly insightful & hugely beneficial. I love searching for an episode that speaks to whatever issue I’m currently facing - there’s no right or wrong order. The community is fab. Thanks Rachel & team! X

The podcast has been life changing for me in my business. I have moved from firefighting and feeling overwhelmed to having more structure and process. From the insights into billing, return per team member, owner KPI's and onboarding. This podcast covers every element that is needed to help you grow & succeed. Rachel - you are a true inspiration - I love your honest approach and relatable experiences, I now have a regular morning per week which is listening to an episode, I can honestly say since joining the podcast running my own business has gone from feeling heavy and stressful to exciting & structured.

I loved the series on KPI's - I always had them when I was employed but they felt kind of made up to me. I am working through all the podcasts in that series and will be setting up my own and forward planning for future scaling. Also having a good look at The Profitability Playbook for when I have finished the CIS course. For me it's a safe space to see how an existing successful firm does things and I think every practice owner can benefit from this insight. I have been listening for a while but not in a very productive way - now I feel ready to put some of the advice into action.

*January madness felt controlled for the first time in forever thanks to listening to all the podcasts and implementing all the strategies. *I believe the podcasts are a blueprint for every practice owner. Each episode is as relevant to a sole practitioner as it is to a huge practice or a growing practice. *I started listening to the podcast from the beginning and I have never missed an episode, it is the only podcast I have ever paid for and it is the only podcast I have stuck with. The new implementation sessions are such a bonus too.

I’m in the early stages of setting up my accountancy practice, and Rachel has already shifted how I’m approaching it. Because of this podcast I’m building with KPIs and systems in mind from day one rather than figuring that out later when it’s much harder to change. That’s a real head start. Rachel surfaces things you wouldn’t even think to ask about and as a new practice owner, there’s a lot I didn’t know I didn’t know. She makes the business side of running a practice feel manageable and logical, not overwhelming. It’s like having a very switched-on mentor in your ear. I’m lucky that I found it early enough that it’s actually shaping how I set things up. But I’d say to anyone who hasn’t started yet: don’t wait. The frameworks Rachel shares are so much easier to build in from the beginning than to bolt on later.

I find the podcast like a little pep talk before getting stuck into a week/day of work - it's motivating & uplifting when you're nodding along agreeing, but also a stern (but welcome!) reminder of other areas where your practice management needs your attention before your clients do. There have been some one-liners in particular that have hit hard for me that I've written on a scrap of paper beside my desk and when I have one of those "head in my hands, what am I doing with my life" moments, they are very north star reminders to bring me back to focus!
