Pure Bookkeeping Australia

Most people absolutely hate the thought of sales or trying to sell someone their product or service. We’d all like our reputation, hard work and non-salesy approach to speak for themselves to grow our business.  The truth is, you can build a business with just those three approaches but not…

Door knocking is one of the marketing strategies that we recommend. OK, I can hear you groan already, but stay with me for a minute and I’ll explain how easy it can be.

We went to a fancy dress shop recently and chose outfits for a party. When paying for them…

Pete and I love travelling across the country, meeting great bookkeepers, discussing the issues they are facing, sharing my story and giving them strategies to help them avoid the mistakes I’ve made.
