🎉 𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀... 𝗶𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟬𝟲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀!

When we launched Behind the Books, we honestly had no idea where it would take us.

Our goal was simple: create a space where Bookkeepers could share their stories, celebrate the profession, and have honest conversations about the realities of running a bookkeeping business.

Fast forward just 106 days, and we've reached an exciting milestone:

🎧 𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟭 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀
🙌 𝟴𝟯𝟳 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀

To everyone who's listened, watched an episode, shared it with a colleague, or joined us as a guest... 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪.

Every download, every comment, and every conversation reminds us why we started this podcast in the first place.

One of the best parts has been hearing from members who tell us they feel inspired, reassured they're not alone, or have picked up an idea they can put into practice straight away. That's exactly what we hoped for.

And we're only just getting started.

We've got plenty more incredible guests, practical conversations, and behind-the-scenes stories coming your way.

If you haven't tuned in yet, now's the perfect time to jump in. 🎙️

Thank you for being part of the journey.

🎙️ New Podcast Episode!

This week on Behind the Books, we're joined by Adriana Cavallo from BGL Corporate Solutions

We chat about customer experience, leadership, technology, AI, and why bookkeepers bring more value than they often realise.

Plus, we somehow end up discussing restaurant bookings, millennial anxiety and why some people need to check the menu before they leave home 😂

It's a fun conversation packed with practical insights for bookkeepers and business owners alike.

Inland Revenue NZ has advised that it is stepping up activity to contact customers with overdue tax debt and outstanding returns. Where customers do not respond or engage, IR may take further action to recover the debt.

For bookkeepers, this is a timely reminder to review your clients' compliance position and ensure any outstanding returns or tax obligations are addressed as soon as possible.

Early action can often make a significant difference. Encouraging clients to engage with Inland Revenue before issues escalate may help them access payment arrangements and avoid additional costs or enforcement action.

If you've ever found yourself pausing before answering that question, you are definitely not alone.

Helping with the paperwork is one thing. Recommending whether a company is the right structure? That's a completely different conversation.

Knowing where the line sits isn't about saying "no" to clients - it's about knowing when to help, when to refer, and how to protect both your client and your business.

In our latest blog, we unpack:

✅ What Bookkeepers can help with.
✅ Where professional boundaries sit.
✅ Why good referral relationships are one of your greatest assets.

🎙️ New Podcast Episode!

Can a business be successful without putting profit first?

This week on Behind the Books, we're joined by Vicki Campbell and Phil Jacklin from Thankyou Payroll to talk about something much bigger than payroll.

They share why Thankyou Payroll became New Zealand's first steward-owned company, what that actually means, and why they've built a business around people, purpose and community impact.

We also chat about:

🌱 Purpose-driven business
🤝 Building genuine relationships
💚 Sustainability and giving back
📈 Supporting Bookkeepers and small businesses
🐶 Office dogs (yes, really!)
😂 And …. old brown pay packets

It's an inspiring conversation about building a business that's successful because of its values, not in spite of them.
