Positive Balance

Every girl deserves to grow up genuinely believing that she can achieve her full potential, whatever that might be. This is the why behind Positive Balance. Being a female entrepreneur comes with its own unique set of challenges. Impostor syndrome, mum guilt, the overwhelm that comes with wearing ALL the hats, the list goes on! Top of the list of pain points for many small business owners are the finances. This is where Positive Balance can help. The easiest way to describe the service is to think of the finance department of a company but outsourced. We take care of the day-to-day bookkeeping e.g. invoicing, all bank transactions accounted for, VAT returns filed, etc. We can stop here if this is all you have the budget for right now, but the REAL value comes from the strategic support that 8 years of working exclusively with entrepreneurs allows us to give. We start big picture - what does the dream life look like - then work back from there. Together we’ll figure out what your business needs to be making to achieve this, then look at what it’s currently doing and devise a plan. What are the stumbling blocks? Is the cash flow lumpy? We need a cash flow forecast. Do you know how much profit you’re making? Let’s start looking regularly at your profit and loss report (which we will be delighted to explain in plain English). Does your pricing maximise profit? Let’s figure out the margins and see. And while we’re at it, let’s get some KPIs on the go because what gets measured, gets done. By doing the day-to-day bookkeeping, we get to know your finances very well, much more than an external accountant that you see once a year ever could. Getting a handle on these numbers gives a business owner SO much power. It allows you to feel IN CONTROL of your business and sleep at night. No more 3am fear! Great bookkeeping is an investment, not a cost. And we truly believe it's one of the best investments you can make. Suzi x
