How small businesses can use Data to win

SaaS / StartupsBy Jason AndrewAugust 2, 2016Leave a comment

Entrepreneurs are liars. We tell ourselves that everything is fantastic, that we’re solving the world’s problems and having fun in the process. But in fact we know that is rarely the case…  Being a liar in this way is a good thing. Even when things are all going terribly wrong – we lose a big…

Wealth CreationBy Jason AndrewJuly 13, 2016Leave a comment

Last Christmas I read Peter Thiel’s book “Zero to One”. Anyone curious about, or actually in the world of startups should read it – it’s full of so many original and thought-provoking concepts.  These concepts range from ‘why companies should always aim to create something new (0 to 1) and not copy something else (1…

How to Build the Perfect Bookkeeper / Accountant Relationship

AccountantsBy Jason AndrewMay 30, 2016Leave a comment

The bookkeeper / accountant relationship has always been a topical subject. Accountants blaming bookkeepers for dodgy work and the WIP they have to write-off as a result of it. Bookkeepers snarling at accountants for being elitists. Sound familiar?  Looking back to when I was an undergrad (circa FY2006) the firm I worked for (who shall…

Wealth CreationBy Jason AndrewMay 5, 2016Leave a comment

While innovation must be a key value driver to every organisation, it’s not surprising that organisations become caught up in the Silicon Valley buzz word hype that they lose focus on the fundamentals of any successful business – executing amazing customer service and Delivering In Full, On Time and On Budget – or what accountants…

Accountants, ScalingBy Jason AndrewApril 25, 2016Leave a comment

Jason’s note: The barriers to entry to establishing your own accounting practice have never been so low. A tech stack of XPM + PI + Asana will set you back less than $200 per month. Sign up and away you go – off into Startup land.  With the barriers to entry so low, one of…

Let’s settle this ‘offshoring’ debate

AccountantsBy Jason AndrewMarch 24, 2016Leave a comment

People conjure up images of warehouses with rows of children punching away at excel spreadsheets, adding machines and industrial fans….LOL The global economy has thrived in the philosophy of ‘comparative advantage’, going back at least 9,000 years to the day of the Silk Road. Today, international trade is at the heart of the global economy…

The 3 step process to improving the productivity of your Digital Agency

Digital AgenciesBy Jason AndrewMarch 21, 2016Leave a comment

Our recent digital agency whitepaper showed that the average productivity rates across digital firms in Australia is 83%. Yet among firms we talk to, it is not uncommon to see productivity as low as 60%.  This observation brings about several questions which I will answer below, including what exactly is a productivity rate? What does…

Part II – Accounting as a Service – The new business model.

AccountantsBy Jason AndrewMarch 1, 2016Leave a comment

Jason‘s Note – following on from our last post on Metrics for the Modern Accounting Practice we received a bunch of feedback from accountants, interested in the “Accounting 2.0” business model. Questions like, why has the game changed? How do you move from time-based billing and what tools are available to do this? In this post, Guy Pearson takes…

The Metrics of the Modern Accounting Practice Part 1 – What are you Measuring?

AccountantsBy Jason AndrewFebruary 16, 2016Leave a comment

“If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it” – Lord Kelvin It always amazes me that most businesses don’t practice what they preach. Let’s face it, we’re all guilty of it. Let’s face it – if we were to be ‘advisors’ of our perfect selves we would have made our millions already…  While at…

How we have (almost) killed email

AccountantsBy Jason AndrewFebruary 7, 2016Leave a comment

Initially hailed as a cheaper way for people to communicate – a killer app invented in the 90s, email is now considered a chore. The more organised of us block out periods of time in our day to tackle them with the goal of ‘inbox zero’ – apparently a metric of productivity.  Perhaps you are…
