Be Coached by a Bookkeeping Industry Expert

 

The bookkeeping industry is getting harder, but for the savvy bookkeepers, you will see this challenge as an opportunity.

Whether you’re new to the profession and starting out, or have been operating a professional bookkeeping business for a number of years, I can assist you with the sustainability, growth and effectiveness of your Australian bookkeeping business.  Coaching services are done mostly via Skype or phone, so you can be situated anywhere in Australia or New Zealand.

Whilst I have been business coaching for 10 years, I am also an industry expert.  I grew my own bookkeeping businesses from a garage to five locations around Australia.  At the peak of my business, I had over 400 clients and 25 staff.  I then successfully sold those bookkeeping businesses to focus purely and entirely on my growing business coaching business.

I coach professional services, including bookkeeping professionals in:

  • Setup, Planning, Systems & Processes

  • Marketing & Sales

  • Growth, Service Offerings, Skillset Improvement

  • Staff Recruitment & Retention

  • Workload balance so the busy/quiet times are not so extreme

  • Improving your business’ bottom line whilst decreasing stress levels of the business owner.

Whether you’re adding bookkeeping to your service suite or operating a standalone bookkeeping business, I can use my 30+ years of experience (plus formal qualifications) to help you.  I can help you see where the industry is going – and how to get ahead of it.  If outsourcing is something you want to know more about and do successfully, then again, I can help.  I can also show you how to improve your service value and charge more – and clients happy to pay it.  I’ve been there and done it myself; now I can help you too!  Simply call me on 0411 622 666 or CLICK HERE.

In addition to coaching professional bookkeepers, I can also assist with:

  • Ghost Writing.  I can help with content perfect for a bookkeeping business – particularly blogs and eBooks.

  • Upskill training.  Perhaps you want to advance your skills in preparing budgets and forecasts, or other advance bookkeeping functions – just ask me.  I will alert you if that is something I can help you with.  This training is confidential and one on one.  I also regularly run sales training workshops with small groups – suitable for any industry business.

  • Business Sale.  Thinking of selling your bookkeeping business?  I’m not a business broker, but I do know a number of accounting firms which are actively looking to acquire bookkeeping businesses.  We will need to chat first so that I can learn more about what you’re wanting and where your business is at.  Then if suitable, I am happy to confidentially introduce you to one which is suitable to see where that may lead.  I do NOT charge you a fee for this introduction.

Donna Stone Business Coaching Testimonial Michelle MeursI highly recommend Donna Stone as a business coach.  I have been working with her clients for several years and was so impressed with the way their businesses changed that I had to try her out for my business.  I came away from my first meeting with a different view on my business.  I am no longer just working in my business but on my business and I am confident that Donna will guide me through this change.  Thank you Donna!
