246 | Q&A - Transitioning to Advisory, Xero Integrations Disengaging with Clients, and More
from The Ambitious Bookkeeper Podcast · host Serena Shoup, CPA
We're back from summer break with a live Q&A with SO much good stuff in this one. This was one of those episodes where the questions kept getting better and better, and I got to go deep on the things that trip us all up: running an advisory firm, getting your pricing right, Xero integrations, closing out clients the right way, and knowing when to make your first hire. If you've ever felt awkward quoting a higher fee or weren't sure how to structure your revenue side when a client's processor data lives inside their CRM, this one's for you. And if advisory is even a tiny blip on your radar, I've got a free audio series you're going to want to grab before it disappears.In this episode you’ll hear:Connecting Stripe and PayPal inside XeroIs $350 too much for basic bookkeeping?The right way to disengage with clientsWhen to make your first hireHow to support a team that's feeling overwhelmedResources mentioned in this episode:Elevate: https://www.ambitiousbookkeeper.com/elevateBBA: https://www.ambitiousbookkeeper.com/bbaXero: https://xeroamericas.partnerlinks.io/79afz10exu7dKajabi: https://app.kajabi.com/r/SLFEMUL4/t/uiptq7nuContent Snare: https://contentsnare.com/#_r_serena58Thanks for listening.
