For many people running their own race, business and personal finances are inextricably tied together. Such is the case for Jane Sadler of management consulting firm Hello Consulting Group, which delivers coaching, leadership and transformation programs that enable business leaders to drive sustainable and inclusive change within their organisations. In this situation, what’s needed is someone who really listens to your needs and wants from both perspectives. Enter Bluebird Accounting.
“What I love about Bluebird Accounting is that I not only get to tap into their accounting brain, but on a human level, they also help us model scenarios, and provide us with practical options. They ask questions to understand our risk appetite, our character and our style to help us model what we need to do to maximise our opportunities. And they understand the challenges and complexities of running a business, because they do it too.”
Along with typical accounting duties such as BAS and tax compliance, financial modelling – for both current business scenarios and planning for future personal financial happiness – plays a big role in the services Bluebird Accounting provides to Hello Consulting Group. While some accountants can come across as stuffy and know-it-all, Jane sees her partnership with Bluebird Accounting as a dynamic two-way street. Jane might approach Bluebird Accounting with big, bold ideas, but she knows the scenarios she gets back will be practical, useful and make sense for her situation.
“They’re really good people. I trust them, I like them. I know they have my best interests at the centre of everything they do. It’s been an enduring relationship, but it’s been built right from the get-go.”
