In this refreshingly practical episode, Jo and Zoe share how bookkeepers can find clients without relying on social media. While both love online marketing (and even built their own social media tool, Journal), they recognise that not every bookkeeper feels confident online.
This conversation breaks down a simple three-level approach for finding clients offline — starting with your closest connections, expanding into local networks, and using local press to build authority. Packed with humour, relatable stories (including Zoe’s daughter’s accidental referral and the legendary “policeman and toddler” news story), the episode proves that visibility doesn’t have to mean viral.

Delivering the Golden Standard of Service Your Clients Deserve
In this final instalment of their three-part series, Jo and Zoe unpack what it means to offer advanced bookkeeping services — the level beyond bank reconciliations and cash flow forecasts. They challenge bookkeepers to step into a more strategic role by holding clients accountable, interpreting data, and driving decisions that impact long-term success.
They explore how bookkeepers can transition from service providers to finance business partners, covering practical areas like sales and expense forecasting, budget variance analysis, improving cash flow, evaluating VAT schemes, and team performance metrics. The discussion concludes with strategic planning, exit goals, and holistic business thinking that empowers bookkeepers to guide their clients confidently.
In this episode:
Jo and Zoe dive into the advanced tier of bookkeeping services — how to shift from compliance work to becoming a strategic business partner.
Key topics:
What “adding value” really means in bookkeeping
Holding clients accountable using data
Building sales and expense forecasts
Running budget variance reviews
Improving cash flow and payment processes
Reviewing VAT schemes for efficiency
Staff return-on-investment (ROI) analysis
Building client confidence and business acumen
Discussing long-term planning, pensions, and exit strategies
