I am very happy with the whole PBS system, as I have implemented this across all our clients (almost 60 now!). It has made the EOM work flow smoothly and is very uniform, so I know that each client’s file is up to date and consistently “clean” and ready for reports to be generated whenever the client needs them. Because we have great systems in place, it has also allowed us to take on more clients, increasing our revenue. What’s not to love about that? 😉 Last year when the new worksheets were released I was a little overwhelmed by the changes and the fact that I knew I had to change all the reports all ready set up, but how good are the new reports! I love them and they are so quick and easy to generate each month. I’m looking forward to a break from the end of the week for a couple of weeks and then to jump into the new year with energy and drive, knowing that all clients files are up to date and ready for the new year!

Best workflow system. Amazing support.

I just love the program, the system, the workflow. I don't think it's perfect, but one of the best things is how much time and effort is being put into getting the new PB Central working really well and the checklists more user friendly. It's so great that our suggestions are really heard! Love, love, love the community as well.

I have to say Pure Bookkeeping has given me the courage to take on an employee with bookkeeping experience but no Xero experience, knowing that while she is upskilling I have a whole RAFT of tools that will help her through the learning process. I would NOT have done this 6 months ago. It's really scary but good to be able to move forward. Next employee will be my replacement! (well, maybe my clone, not ready to leave yet) And I am less stressed at EOFY than I have ever been. A night away last weekend and a weekend away this weekend... who'd a thunk it?

I just wanted to touch base about Pure Workflow. I had my file reset and I am so glad that I did. Since doing the SIP, I have been going through your great instructions and setting thing up as they should be. I am very happy with how our updated procedures are progressing.

I am currently in the process of hiring my first staff member with the aim to grow my business and am finding the HR Staff Hiring and Skills Test Resources invaluable. I would have been lost without them. Joining Pure Bookkeeping in 2020 was one of the best things I have done in my business. I feel so much more confident in the quality of my work and the ability to grow in the future now that I use the PB folder system and checklists for processing and recording my work. The regular support and advice available from the PB community for bookkeepers is fantastic.

I decided to do a trial with Pure Bookkeeping because I was super interested to see how Pure Workflow worked. My Operations Manager quickly got to work on setting up the back end and we then worked together to set up our clients and workflows. We weren't quite ready to launch it by the time the trial period ended so I bit the bullet and purchased a subscription and we haven't looked back since. We love the user interface and how intuitive it is to use. I must say that the Xero skills test has been a life changer when recruiting offshore staff too.

This is the most comprehensive program for bookkeepers to up their game and have confidence in what they are doing.

Pure Bookkeeping is a fantastic resource for all bookkeepers to have. The best part is you can work on this by yourself or you can get help from the Pure Bookkeeping family. This is the best investment to have access to. Thank you Pure Bookkeeping for helping me get started and to keep me up-to-date on new features and best practices.

My high rating comes mostly from the positivity I am hearing from anyone I speak to that has used Pure Bookkeeping and it is getting me excited to finish my implementation and get on board. I feel very confident in my decision to invest in Pure Bookkeeping. I wasn't sure it was for me when I first heard about it but now as I learn more, my opinion is that it is for EVERY bookkeeper! Now I just need to get more clients and I am so confident that with Pure Bookkeeping, my business will run smoothly.

My processes and strengths are becoming so much more streamlined right now. Pure Bookkeeping has been a life changer for me. I love this company and programs and the support. I know I’m not on much but seriously so so good.

I just want to thank you for saving my bacon - when I used the Pure Bookkeeping test for a potential employee. I was avoiding it but glad I took your advice and used it. I put a potential candidate through the system and she got 23 out of a possible 108!! Furthermore, she wanted $45 an hour as an employee. That really did save me. So thank you very much.

Knowing that I can connect with Deb and Katrina and all other licensees is what keeps me sane in the back end. Knowing that whenever I need to, they are there to catch me if I fall. I have a support network right at my fingertips and all I must do is to connect. I am not a fan of FB but there is certainly value in groups like this. Without Pure Bookkeeping at my back, I would feel extremely lonely and isolated. There is enough in this world, and the Pure Bookkeeping team is filling a void in my life. I would recommend Pure Bookkeeping to anyone serious about polishing their craft.

I found Pure Bookkeeping via the Successful Bookkeepers Podcast when I was thinking of jumping out of the corporate world into bookkeeping. I didn't come from an accounting or bookkeeping background, but I did the certification and I found for myself, I needed a guideline and a roadmap to help me, and Pure Bookkeeping gave me that. I wanted to make sure that I was doing the work correctly and it just gave me confidence that I was doing the right checks. I think it just gave my business the framework for me to work within. I liked the spreadsheets which gave a good process. Especially, when you're busy, like I'm jumping from different tasks all day and it is reassuring to have something written down, I don't have to think about the next step and worry that I was missing anything. I enjoyed joining Pure Bookkeeping and when I was setting it up I thought that the team did that well. Also, I've enjoyed the courses and conferences Pure Bookkeeping has done. I think I would be a little bit lost on how to set up the structure. I loved that it was already available instead of having to make it up myself. It's kind of being handed it out as a platter almost. I think it's enabled me to pick up things for my clients. So for example, if they put expenses into the fixed AC register, the monthly reconciliation is very thorough and I found the system was good. I would recommend it to somebody who is doing bookkeeping, especially those who want to scale and grow. It's for business owners who want to ensure that their bookkeepers are providing the same level of quality as you are, that's what I like the most.

I love Pure Bookkeeping - it's all systematic. I feel like I'm all streamlined and not missing any bits. I can confidently say I've done all these checklists and I know that it's working well with my clients, and especially with Pure Workflow having all the information there for the client. I love how it links when you do an email. Even when I set up a template for a job and you put in their frequency, which matches the work that needs to be done. So if they've got weekly payment, weekly payroll or fortnightly, it'll match it. I find it good and haven't had an issue with it. Without Pure Bookkeeping, I probably wouldn't know what stage I'm at with my clients and if there's anything missing. Also, the community is good. I might not go in and ask questions, but I'll sit in the background and have a look at the messages and go, “Oh, yeah, I'll do that, or that's a good idea, or I haven't done that before!” So that's a good thing, too. That support.

When I first started, I knew I needed systems and I recognised I don’t have the time or skills to create the systems. It was a relief to find that I could purchase ready-made systems. When I was looking at Pure Bookkeeping, I found the testing was really really good. It was having those checklists and knowing where to start and how to do it and doing the same procedure. You can have half a dozen people get to the same result, but we all do it differently. It’s following that path. I would recommend Pure Bookkeeping to anyone wanting to grow a practice.

The best thing I liked about the Pure Bookkeeping System is what you call the family. As a family, all the bookkeepers come together. The other thing was how the management is making sure I remember. When I signed up, I was supposed to do the training which I did not do, so the Pure Bookkeeping team was actually fully engaged. They were always there and they always reminded me that this needs to be done, if you haven't done this, they will rebook you again. So I really liked that. Just like you cannot forget that you have signed up for this package. Making it accountable in a way. The system is great in itself.

Deb and Peter were doing a seminar in Perth and I just thought it was a great idea to go and have a look and have a listen. I had run my own bookkeeping business for many, many years beforehand and I found the seminar was great. It worked for me and I just joined up and got my business systemised. You know if you want to build your business, you’ve got to systemise. For me it’s just knowing that if you’ve gone to the checklist and you’ve done it all, you know that it’s all done, and that it’s all correct. And when you’re teaching a staff member, it’s much easier to show them if there’s a process rather than saying, I would just go and reconcile that bank account and they don’t. There are 20,000 ways to reconcile a bank account and you don’t always agree. But if you can see that it’s been reconciled, tick, that checklist is done, then you know that it’s done. It’s great for yourself and if you’re employing staff members. You know everything’s in order. It gives me comfort knowing you can find things and know things are done properly.

What I love about being a PB licensee is the in-person support from the PB leadership team and the community. Unlike other organisations, you get help from the 'top' down, not the other way around. The resources at my fingertips allow me to continually build on my skills and professionalism as a Bookkeeper. The candid and helpful experiences shared by Deb and other members reassure me that I am not alone in the challenges of running a bookkeeping business. The continuing education, generous sharing of information, and helpful tips around streamlining processes and industry-specific tech options are invaluable.

When I saw Pure Bookkeeping, I think it’s great. I think it’s amazing. It’ll be really, really worthwhile for a large number of firms. The infrastructure that it provides is something that is nearly impossible to develop as an individual while you’re growing. You always need it while you’re growing, but you can’t do it while you’re growing. It’s very well worth it.

I am happy with how the team are so helpful. They have guided me through (or are guiding me through ) the processes of setting up Pure Bookkeeping. I have now made a substantial start and while things are not perfect, I have made a start. The team at PB go over and above to assist the community and I am (or hope to be soon) ever to grateful to have a start on a smooth workflow to free my time up.

As someone who has never worked at an accounting practice or for another bookkeeper, I am excited to get best practice and a system implemented across my clients.. happy to leave go of what I am doing if it doesn't fit within PB.

I love the Worksheet. It's evolved beautifully in PB. Everything in one place in brilliant. When I get a tricky set of books, it gives me a place to check back over the figures to work out why things aren't correct.

So far, the thing I have loved and appreciated the most is the training and support: 1) The weekly zoom meets – a. Invaluable even when I don’t have anything to contribute. I always come away having learned something from someone else. b. Knowing I am not alone in this business – working from a home office can be lonely c. Knowing I can ask the ‘dumbest’ questions and get a respectful response 2) The access to top quality webinars and workshops – ie Sharon Franscisco / yours! 😊 So much support and advice for business building. 3) Access to information on other software available out there to help build my business systems ….. and discounts on most! I just feel secure and sure that moving forward, as I grow my business by adding both clients and staff, that my high level of service will be maintained and not lost. I will build a best practice bookkeeping business and I am excited about that.

Excellent layout of lessons. Easy to understand instructions. Lots of useful resources to build a bookkeeping business.

I just had an offshore candidate get 94/100 on the Pure Bookkeeping Xero Skills test. I'm gobsmacked! I've never had a score that high before. If I could have added extra bonus points it would have been closer to 100. (created unique COS accounts for the Builder client rather than coding to generic COGS account). Merged dupe profiles. Split the tolls account for the same business use% he had to split the fuel by. Thanks Pure Bookkeeping for making this type of skill test and giving me confidence that this guy isn't all talk.

Pure Workflow, great resources and a whole system you can easily implement to bring efficiency and accuracy.

I have been with Pure Bookkeeping for 13 years and I would have given up long ago without the guidance it provides.

I love the upgrade to your website and the training process is much easier to follow now. But what I really love is the templates that you have created for us to use as this is a great time saver for me. Plus your HR and marketing materials are perfect. I love the new section about building the website as this was never there before. I live that you have screenshots for the processes along that way so that I can follow along easily. Your interview and skills testing questions for new employees are also very helpful. I have used this process before and it has really helped me in finding the right qualified person.

Pure Bookkeeping enables me to be a better bookkeeper - I know that their workflows and checking methods have saved me from errors I would otherwise have made. Pure Bookkeeping adds a lot of value through a supportive community, marketing brochures, engagement letters, HR packages and workflow management. All of that is fantastic and I make full use of it, but for me, the core value comes in knowing that I'm following best-practice methods and that those methods are already documented for my staff. I tell all my bookkeeping connections about Pure Bookkeeping. It seemed like a lot of money before I started but now I wouldn't run a bookkeeping business without it.

I think it is so important to have continuity and uniformity in this profession. Pure Bookkeeping offers this in abundance with easily understandable processes and procedures.

Excellent Training and Support!

Pure Bookkeeping is a fantastic resource for all bookkeepers to have. The best part is you can work on this by yourself or you can get help from the Pure Bookkeeping family. This is the best investment to have access to. Thank you Pure Bookkeeping for helping me get started and to keep me up-to-date on new features and best practices.

This has been a excellent resource. Really love how userfriendly and incredibly helpful Pure Workflow is, and I absolutely love the new Pure Bookkeeping portal. The information has always been incredible and thorough, and now its so much more user friendly. Thank you!

I love the step by step guides and breakdown of sections.

Oh my goodness. Loving this stuff. Just sat there going through how to do a BAS yesterday with my 18 year old grandson (employee doing cert 4) and said, "This is where PBK is so brilliant cause you have the checklist and can make sure you haven’t missed anything!".

The Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was great - very enlightening. My thinking has changed as a result of the Seminar ... I now have a clear vision of where I want to go. Before I was just working, going through the motions - now I have a vision and a plan. Thanks so much!

The Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was very good. My sister and I both felt that you had exceeded our expectations. Particularly how forthcoming you were with Debbie's business ideas, costing, charge out fees etc. That is core stuff we need to know in order to set up our business to be successful. We were both surprised with the frankness with which Debbie spoke about her business - that was extraordinary actually.

As a PB licensee for some months now, I have struggled with finding and let alone implementing a workflow system that would not only save me time but also tick all the boxes. When I was offered to test Pure Workflow, I couldn't be happier to have the stress of finding a system that works with what we do as bookkeepers and, in particular, the PB checklists. I really like the ability to integrate emails and work purely in the system, client by client, task by task, rather than getting distracted by other outside noise. With time management being the biggest conversation piece in our network, I can sense that PW will help to counteract most of this and I will feel a lot more organized! Thanks again for inviting me into the system.

It is a really good platform. And one of the things I absolutely love is that it's going to have email integration and I just love that because one of the things I find is we'll have an email come in from a client, for example, and it's copied to three or four people and then you don't know, ‘Did somebody reply to this and they forgot to cc me?’ So, it would be nice that everything is right there within Pure Workflow where you can see all the correspondence with that client.

I have tried two other workflow management programs over the past few years. Having already done a set up in two programs, I was so pleased to see how easy it was for me to migrate all of my client and contact information into Pure Workflow and to get started. The big game changers for me, however, are the built-in CRM and the customization and flexibility allowed by the ability to add "customized fields" for each client. Not only do I have all of the information I want at my fingertips for each client in one place, I can easily pull the information from those fields into my workflow templates. Those two features alone have already saved me an incredible amount of time and are worth the price of admission!

I think it's going to change the world of bookkeeping. And I love that it's going to be continued to be developed by bookkeepers and accounting professionals specifically for us because we deserve that.

“Simple, easy and efficient” is the best way to describe using Pure Workflow. This is the perfect complement to our Pure Bookkeeping system.

Implementing Pure Workflow and having access to the checklist has made a big difference. Being able to check BAS and check what our bookkeepers have done, as is having the checklist there is just making it so much easier and making sure that the client's work is right, we're not sending anything out that's wrong. And the other thing that's been really helpful is the skills test. I used it last year with someone that I put on and it was fantastic. Then I've just done one recently and unfortunately it wasn't as good, but I was just so glad cause it was someone that I thought was going to be fantastic and I was just so relieved that I had the skills test to show me that that wasn't the right person for our business.

What makes me happy? The most outstanding thing of all is the sense of security and confidence that I am being the most professional bookkeeper I can be as I have the tools and knowledge available to me in an instant. It has streamlined my business and given me clear guidelines to ensure that the work I produce for my clients is the same each time… Very happy with my life right now 😊

The level of support is incredible for my business, having systems allows my business to scale.

What I like most about Pure is all of it. The information, structure and guidance are superb; it's the best investment I have made in my business, giving me the tools to achieve my goals. Pure's community feel and culture are outstanding; I always feel welcomed and supported. Thank you, Pure, and to all of its licensees; I am grateful for being in this community!

The Pure Bookkeeping System really helped me when my business was starting out. I was able to grow from a spare bedroom 2 client business to having full books for 6 employees and an entire office space away from my home. Debbie is inspirational and the whole team are friendly. I would highly recommend the Pure procedures and systems to anyone taking the leap into their own bookkeeping business.

Pure Bookkeeping has revolutionised my business. In the past I thought that I had plenty of experience and did not need Pure Bookkeeping. Oh, how my attitude has changed! The PB Community is fantastic, the systems have enabled me to confidently grow my business without the scary memories of the past and best of all, I have been re-invigorated!

I always thought, I would be able to document my processes and procedures but like most, never quite found the time. I got tired of saying "Someday" I will get to that. That is when I became a Pure Bookkeeping Licensee. They have done all of the heavy lifting when I comes to standardized bookkeeping practice. The system is very comprehensive and takes time to implement but it is so worth it. The training provided has been so beneficial for my stafff and me.

I love using the Pure Bookkeeping system because it's a "system" that's already built and always being improved and updated in line with the ongoing changes happening within our industry. With the addition of Pure Workflow and the new Pure Bookkeeping platform (both so easy to use) this is proving to be the best investment that I've made and I will continue to make. The PB team are friendly and quick to answer questions and other PB members are generous with sharing their knowledge. I'm really happy to be a part of this community providing wonderful support for bookkeepers and BAS Agents. 🤗

Pure Bookkeeping has helped my business grow and streamlined the processes that I was missing in my own business. Without it I would have had to spend a lot of time and effort coming up with the templates and manuals which would have taken me away from doing the bookkeeping that I needed to do. I also love your HR module with the skill testing question as this was integral to my finding the right employee. It has helped me weed out the bad options and show me how to find the right person for my business.

One of the best part of the Pure Bookkeeping System is the Pure Workflow Platform because it’s beautiful to look at and work in. User Interface experience is most important to me, and Pure is truly a work of art.

The Pure Bookkeeping System has given me so much confidence in the service I provide to my clients. I don't miss deadlines and my processes are clear, consistent, and thorough. I also love having the support of the community behind me. The only regret I have about implementing the Pure Bookkeeping System is that I didn't do it sooner!

The best part about the Pure Bookkeeping System is with the community help and learning, I have found it is amazing and wonderful to have a group like this.

After having a CPA friend pass away suddenly, I was asked by his wife to help notify and figure out where he was with his clients. His client folders were a mess and it took weeks to figure everything out. It was an eye opener to me and made me realize that I need to get systems in place so that if anything happens to me, anyone can quickly and easily see where everything stands. The PBS system has been incredible!! I now am confident that anybody, at any time can take over wherever I leave off should something happen. The PBS processes has improved my internal processes so that I am prepared for audits and know where to find anything I need. As a bonus, the CPAs I work with are all thrilled with the files I give them at year-ends and the clients are happier with a smaller fee from their CPA!

I think it's going to change the world of bookkeeping. And I love that it's going to be continued to be developed by bookkeepers and accounting professionals specifically for us because we deserve that.

PBS provides you with the systems and resources to build your bookkeeping business. The expertise that I have access to through the PB Community is invaluable to my business. Easily the best investment I have made to grow my business.

Best system out there.

Very efficient systems and assistance within the Pure Bookkeeping Community.

Like many business owners, I’m afraid to make hiring mistakes. Once I attended the seminar, it provided me valuable Human Resources information that will no doubt help me in the future. I definitely recommend this to my colleagues and friends.

I loved the Seven Secrets Webinar! I'm a big systems person and I was very impressed with the systematic approach you showed us for building a bookkeeping business. There was lots of helpful information about increasing services to clients and different marketing strategies. As an accountant I particularly loved the Marketing Presentation you give accountants. Although I'm just starting up my bookkeeping business, I know that the 7 Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Webinar will give me the kick start I need.

I wanted to grow my bookkeeping business but was afraid to hire people. I loved the streamlined approach to hiring, training and business systems that Pure Bookkeeping offered. The bonus was the supportive community of bookkeepers and mentorship from Debbie and the Pure Bookkeeping team.

The Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business was inspirational. I attended not knowing if the information would be relevant for me as I work in my own practice part time and I hadn’t decided if I wanted to grow my practice into a business. Peter was fantastic with the way he presented the content of the Seminar which really helped me clarify my vision and goals. I can really appreciate the work that Deb has put into the Pure Bookkeeping System over the past 10 years having written many manuals myself. I would recommend the Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business to all bookkeepers who need direction and is unsure about what the future holds for them.

I became a Pure Bookkeeping licensee in March 2018 and it's the best decision I've made for my business. As a Tax Accountant, I wanted to be able to provide my clients with a complete solution for their business including bookkeeping and advisory services. The Pure Bookkeeping System has given me the confidence to put on three full time staff knowing that they are all following best practices. Because the PBS leverages a lot of the cloud technology needed to run a bookkeeping business remotely, I was able to take my first holiday in five years! As a licensee I've taken advantage of the discounts you get from the technology vendors and signed up with Karbon to manage workflow, leveraging the detailed checklists and procedures provided by Pure Bookkeeping. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the PBS for anyone serious about growing their business, especially tax accountants looking to offer bookkeeping as a service. The support from the PBS team and amazing work they put into always updating the system ensures my team are always following best practice by utilising Pure Bookkeeping.

The Seven Secrets Seminar was fantastic. I loved the fact that Pete & Deb are as passionate about empowering business owners around their finances as I am. I can see that the Pure Bookkeeping System will help me achieve my goals with more efficiency and I can’t wait to get started!Thanks Pete for the spreadsheet you provided – I’ve already added my Vision Statement and have put my next financial year plans in place.

What I enjoyed about the Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was that Deb shared information that bookkeepers usually keep close to their chest. She gave us strategies she has used to grow her business and told us frankly about the issues she has encountered and how to avoid them. I learnt that I need to value the service I provide my clients and not take that for granted and I definitely need to put up my prices! The Seven Secrets Seminar has opened my eyes to what other bookkeepers are doing and how much they are charging. It was a real eye-opener.

I was very impressed with the ethos that the Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar gave to the bookkeeping profession and it has certainly reignited my focus to concentrate on providing a great service to my clients and provide more than just BAS statements and reports for their accountant. After all, I’m not “just a bookkeeper”!

I became a Pure Bookkeeping licensee in June 2017 I was working four days a week with a few clients on the side. I customised the Sales & Marketing templates in the Pure Bookkeeping System and started marketing. I did a letter box drop using the postcard template, added my client testimonials on the back and got a great response. I customised the template to create a great website and two accountants have approached me and want to refer business to me. I set up fixed fees and direct debits with all the new clients and within six weeks of becoming a licensee I was able to resign my job! My next goal is to have enough money for my husband to reduce his hours and work part time by July 2018 so we can spend time on our property. Everything you need to market your business is in the PBS. There's a checklist you can use to do a "Health Check" of the clients data file, client engagement letters, professional presentations for prospects and Accountants and much more. Becoming a licensee was the best business decision I've made. The PBS has already paid for itself in only six weeks!

I became a licensee in 2012 and I love the Checklists and processes in the Pure Bookkeeping System but I particularly love being part of the Pure Bookkeeping Community. The ongoing support, not only from Deb, but also from the community was something that I wasn’t expecting. Even though there are hundreds of licensees, somehow Deb makes me feel like I’m the only one. Growing a bookkeeping business can be an isolating experience. It’s much less so with the support of Deb, the customer support team and the other licensees in the Pure Bookkeeping community.

I’ve been a Pure Bookkeeping licensee since 2013 and have progressively implemented the Pure Bookkeeping System. My income has doubled in the last 12 months by word of mouth referrals and this would not have been possible without the PBS. My staff are now trained to use the Checklists to make sure everything reconciles before I lodge a BAS or IAS. The peace of mind that this gives me means that I can spend my time working ON my business creating efficiencies which have not only resulted in an increase in turnover but also an increase in profitability. If you want to grow your bookkeeping business, you would be crazy to do it without the PBS.

The Seven Secret of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar’ is really spot on the mark. Bookkeeping is a diverse business with a broad range of areas we need to keep a breast of, not to mention every client is different. The Seven Secrets Seminar provided great and paramount guidelines about what it takes to both grow your Bookkeeping Business & maintain it at a high level ahead of the rest, leaving your clients, your staff & ultimately you personally more than happy.

PBS really streamlines the process of Bookkeeping and teaches you what you didn't know that you didn't know. It creates a uniform process for your whole team to use.

I think Pete and Deb have really undersold what they're offering everybody. It simply is, far and away the best system that exists on the market place today. There's no real comparison in what's available in franchises. The Pure Bookkeeping System gives certainty, certainty gives confidence, confidence builds strength; it empowers your clients and just as importantly empowers you around your business. What you're being offered today is something of incredible value at really negligible cost. You can't get better support than what Pete and Deb are offering.

The information we received at the Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was very useful. Things like setting up Paysmart direct debits for my clients so that I don’t have to chase money and have a “Relationship Agreement” at the start of the appointment to ask for referrals. I’ve tightened up and improved some of my own systems in my business as a result of the Seminar. Thanks guys.

The Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was full of great information. I am passionate about bookkeeping and it gave me a buzz to see that Debbie has the same drive and passion about empowering business owners around their finances. That really is what I am about. I’m not “just a bookkeeper” and Deb and Pete made that message come across loud and clear. As I’m just starting up I’ve already put into place some of the strategies Pete spoke about as part of the 7 x 5 Marketing Plan by putting together a flyer and handing it out to business owners in my area. An unexpected bonus was that while I was networking with other bookkeepers at the seminar I handed out my business card and offered my services so I might get work from them as well! That is a bonus! There is something for everyone at the Seven Secrets Seminar, it doesn’t matter what stage your business is at.

The biggest thing that jumped out at me was how much the authors knew about me and my business. Page after page was full of solutions that fit my business perfectly because it’s written for bookkeepers. The end result? Now I have a more specific destination (where I want to take my business) and now I’m in the middle of mapping out how to get there. Thanks to Debbie for not quitting even though I know that she felt like doing just that many times.

Brilliant systems, useful details, clarity in step by step processes. Marketing assistance I didn’t know I needed. I came for the systems and am impressed but the rest is pure gold

Before attending the 7 Secrets seminar, I thought I was giving my clients more than they expect. After attending it, I can see where I can do better. An “Aha” moment was finding out I can add services. So, I will create manuals on each client. I thought (Michael) did an outstanding job with the seminar.

Pure Bookkeeping has helped me significantly as a resource for tools and even more so as a network of fellow bookkeepers from across Canada who are trying to grow their businesses. It’s fantastic having a group of people to ask questions of and explore options in a safe non-judgement environment. If you want to grow your business and do it right then the Pure Bookkeeping’s tools and network are invaluable.

Coming from a mining background, I understand the importance of documented business processes and having up to date templates/checklists. Not only has the Pure Bookkeeping System provided this, but it has also given me a platform to scale my business, the drive to investigate/apply new technologies, and the added security of knowing I am completely up to date with legislation changes and industry best practise.Becoming a PBS licensee has shifted my focus from being a bookkeeper to being a business owner/manager, and will most certainly expedite the journey to obtaining my business and personal goals.

I was very nervous when I decided to take the plunge and join Pure Bookkeeping in March 2018. Although a BAS Agent, I was working part time and really didn't have much confidence that I'd be able to make this work. With Debbie's support in the first 12 months as well as the support from the awesome PB community I'm tracking to earn $50,000 for 19/20 FY! Not big bikkies for some but great for a part time mumma bear (now home schooling as well with Covid 19). When I think back to the concern I had at the start and wondering if I was making the right choice for my business (and my family), this decision has actually been my saving grace and definitely worth pushing through the unknown.I’m so proud of what I've achieved which I'm certain I couldn’t have done without the support of the community and the Pure Bookkeeping System. I can't thank PB enough for being in my life :two_hearts:If you've looked at the PBS but haven't had the courage to take the plunge, my advice is just do it! If you do the work and take advantage of the support you will achieve your goals.

If you’re starting up in business then create good habits in your business to avoid this scenario later. If you’re aware now that you’re already in that place, you won’t be able to stay there for long.

The PB Portal is amazing, user friendly, high standards for user navigation and access. Materials are updated. Feed back on errors or omissions are revised asap. Assistance is available when necessary. Great support Team and network - Kind caring and motivating. The ability to adapt to new software for scale-able and automation. Given me the confidence to market and grow my business from a startup. The templates to keep me on track and focused. Best ROI.

The recruitment process in the PBS is worth it's weight in gold! It includes every step from placing the ad, selecting the best candidates to skills test and the interview process ensuring I select the best person for the job. It has saved me thousands of dollars employing the wrong staff (which I've done before). Big thank you to you for all your help and support.

The biggest thing I got from the Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar is about charging what you are worth – something I haven’t been doing. After the seminar I put my prices up $10 an hour. I’ve got four bookkeepers working for me, as well as myself, so that’s a lot of extra fees for the same amount of work. And not one client left me! Thanks guys!

I just wanted to tell you that the MYOB test that you set up and the process questions and points made this interview process something much greater and easier than ever before.These processes assisted me to find the best person for the job and has just saved me thousands of dollars employing the wrong staff. Big thank you to you for all your help and support.The weekly emails are great and probably one of the only weekly emails I get that I read the whole thing. They are very inspirational and it’s good to know that I’m not alone with what I go through running a bookkeeping business.

The Pure Bookkeeping System is so worth the investment. Thank you.

It's the best system I have ever used. I love it. Can't get enough of it. We apply it to all clients and our own business.

I've been blown away by the response of your team! I assumed I'd hear back in 24 hrs or so with answers to my questions but the speed with which my emails were answered was completely beyond my expectations. Please tell your team they are awesome!

Thanks Deb. I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar on Wednesday. You and Pete did a great job and the "tag team" approach in the presentation was great. As I said at the end it even lifted my opinion of business coaches (which everyone knows I don't generally like very much!!). I was also impressed with your honesty on how you developed the program through trial and error and that there wasn't a hard sell pitch of "you must have this product or your business will fail". I left the seminar feeling it was well presented, encouraging and motivating - even for those that did not sign up there was plenty of information shared that they can think about and implement - and yes I'm putting my prices up!

I needed help with my marketing — in a big way. Fortunately, I took in the 7 Secrets Seminar which taught me a lesson. Yes, I was spending money on print ads – that STOPS NOW! I’m currently applying my marketing efforts to other techniques including getting myself in front of accountants. Thank you Pure Bookkeeping!

I love Pure Bookkeeping! It increased my revenue by $23,000 in less than one year.

As a PB licensee for some months now, I have struggled with finding and let alone implementing a workflow system that would not only save me time, but also tick all the boxes. When I was offered to test Pure Workflow, I couldn't be happier to have the stress of finding a system that works with what we do as bookkeepers and, in particular, the PB checklists. I really like the ability to integrate emails and work purely in the system, client by client, task by task, rather than getting distracted by other outside noise. With time management being the biggest conversation piece in our network, I can sense that PW will help to counteract most of this and I will feel a lot more organized! Thanks again for inviting me into the system.

I am very happy with the whole PBS system, as I have implemented this across all our clients (almost 60 now!). It has made the EOM work flow smoothly and is very uniform, so I know that each client’s file is up to date and consistently “clean” and ready for reports to be generated whenever the client needs them. Because we have great systems in place, it has also allowed us to take on more clients, increasing our revenue. What’s not to love about that? 😉 Last year when the new worksheets were released I was a little overwhelmed by the changes and the fact that I knew I had to change all the reports all ready set up, but how good are the new reports! I love them and they are so quick and easy to generate each month. I’m looking forward to a break from the end of the week for a couple of weeks and then to jump into the new year with energy and drive, knowing that all clients files are up to date and ready for the new year!

Best workflow system. Amazing support.

I just love the program, the system, the workflow. I don't think it's perfect, but one of the best things is how much time and effort is being put into getting the new PB Central working really well and the checklists more user friendly. It's so great that our suggestions are really heard! Love, love, love the community as well.

I have to say Pure Bookkeeping has given me the courage to take on an employee with bookkeeping experience but no Xero experience, knowing that while she is upskilling I have a whole RAFT of tools that will help her through the learning process. I would NOT have done this 6 months ago. It's really scary but good to be able to move forward. Next employee will be my replacement! (well, maybe my clone, not ready to leave yet) And I am less stressed at EOFY than I have ever been. A night away last weekend and a weekend away this weekend... who'd a thunk it?

I just wanted to touch base about Pure Workflow. I had my file reset and I am so glad that I did. Since doing the SIP, I have been going through your great instructions and setting thing up as they should be. I am very happy with how our updated procedures are progressing.

I am currently in the process of hiring my first staff member with the aim to grow my business and am finding the HR Staff Hiring and Skills Test Resources invaluable. I would have been lost without them. Joining Pure Bookkeeping in 2020 was one of the best things I have done in my business. I feel so much more confident in the quality of my work and the ability to grow in the future now that I use the PB folder system and checklists for processing and recording my work. The regular support and advice available from the PB community for bookkeepers is fantastic.

I decided to do a trial with Pure Bookkeeping because I was super interested to see how Pure Workflow worked. My Operations Manager quickly got to work on setting up the back end and we then worked together to set up our clients and workflows. We weren't quite ready to launch it by the time the trial period ended so I bit the bullet and purchased a subscription and we haven't looked back since. We love the user interface and how intuitive it is to use. I must say that the Xero skills test has been a life changer when recruiting offshore staff too.

This is the most comprehensive program for bookkeepers to up their game and have confidence in what they are doing.

Pure Bookkeeping is a fantastic resource for all bookkeepers to have. The best part is you can work on this by yourself or you can get help from the Pure Bookkeeping family. This is the best investment to have access to. Thank you Pure Bookkeeping for helping me get started and to keep me up-to-date on new features and best practices.

My high rating comes mostly from the positivity I am hearing from anyone I speak to that has used Pure Bookkeeping and it is getting me excited to finish my implementation and get on board. I feel very confident in my decision to invest in Pure Bookkeeping. I wasn't sure it was for me when I first heard about it but now as I learn more, my opinion is that it is for EVERY bookkeeper! Now I just need to get more clients and I am so confident that with Pure Bookkeeping, my business will run smoothly.

My processes and strengths are becoming so much more streamlined right now. Pure Bookkeeping has been a life changer for me. I love this company and programs and the support. I know I’m not on much but seriously so so good.

I just want to thank you for saving my bacon - when I used the Pure Bookkeeping test for a potential employee. I was avoiding it but glad I took your advice and used it. I put a potential candidate through the system and she got 23 out of a possible 108!! Furthermore, she wanted $45 an hour as an employee. That really did save me. So thank you very much.

Knowing that I can connect with Deb and Katrina and all other licensees is what keeps me sane in the back end. Knowing that whenever I need to, they are there to catch me if I fall. I have a support network right at my fingertips and all I must do is to connect. I am not a fan of FB but there is certainly value in groups like this. Without Pure Bookkeeping at my back, I would feel extremely lonely and isolated. There is enough in this world, and the Pure Bookkeeping team is filling a void in my life. I would recommend Pure Bookkeeping to anyone serious about polishing their craft.

I found Pure Bookkeeping via the Successful Bookkeepers Podcast when I was thinking of jumping out of the corporate world into bookkeeping. I didn't come from an accounting or bookkeeping background, but I did the certification and I found for myself, I needed a guideline and a roadmap to help me, and Pure Bookkeeping gave me that. I wanted to make sure that I was doing the work correctly and it just gave me confidence that I was doing the right checks. I think it just gave my business the framework for me to work within. I liked the spreadsheets which gave a good process. Especially, when you're busy, like I'm jumping from different tasks all day and it is reassuring to have something written down, I don't have to think about the next step and worry that I was missing anything. I enjoyed joining Pure Bookkeeping and when I was setting it up I thought that the team did that well. Also, I've enjoyed the courses and conferences Pure Bookkeeping has done. I think I would be a little bit lost on how to set up the structure. I loved that it was already available instead of having to make it up myself. It's kind of being handed it out as a platter almost. I think it's enabled me to pick up things for my clients. So for example, if they put expenses into the fixed AC register, the monthly reconciliation is very thorough and I found the system was good. I would recommend it to somebody who is doing bookkeeping, especially those who want to scale and grow. It's for business owners who want to ensure that their bookkeepers are providing the same level of quality as you are, that's what I like the most.

I love Pure Bookkeeping - it's all systematic. I feel like I'm all streamlined and not missing any bits. I can confidently say I've done all these checklists and I know that it's working well with my clients, and especially with Pure Workflow having all the information there for the client. I love how it links when you do an email. Even when I set up a template for a job and you put in their frequency, which matches the work that needs to be done. So if they've got weekly payment, weekly payroll or fortnightly, it'll match it. I find it good and haven't had an issue with it. Without Pure Bookkeeping, I probably wouldn't know what stage I'm at with my clients and if there's anything missing. Also, the community is good. I might not go in and ask questions, but I'll sit in the background and have a look at the messages and go, “Oh, yeah, I'll do that, or that's a good idea, or I haven't done that before!” So that's a good thing, too. That support.

When I first started, I knew I needed systems and I recognised I don’t have the time or skills to create the systems. It was a relief to find that I could purchase ready-made systems. When I was looking at Pure Bookkeeping, I found the testing was really really good. It was having those checklists and knowing where to start and how to do it and doing the same procedure. You can have half a dozen people get to the same result, but we all do it differently. It’s following that path. I would recommend Pure Bookkeeping to anyone wanting to grow a practice.

The best thing I liked about the Pure Bookkeeping System is what you call the family. As a family, all the bookkeepers come together. The other thing was how the management is making sure I remember. When I signed up, I was supposed to do the training which I did not do, so the Pure Bookkeeping team was actually fully engaged. They were always there and they always reminded me that this needs to be done, if you haven't done this, they will rebook you again. So I really liked that. Just like you cannot forget that you have signed up for this package. Making it accountable in a way. The system is great in itself.

Deb and Peter were doing a seminar in Perth and I just thought it was a great idea to go and have a look and have a listen. I had run my own bookkeeping business for many, many years beforehand and I found the seminar was great. It worked for me and I just joined up and got my business systemised. You know if you want to build your business, you’ve got to systemise. For me it’s just knowing that if you’ve gone to the checklist and you’ve done it all, you know that it’s all done, and that it’s all correct. And when you’re teaching a staff member, it’s much easier to show them if there’s a process rather than saying, I would just go and reconcile that bank account and they don’t. There are 20,000 ways to reconcile a bank account and you don’t always agree. But if you can see that it’s been reconciled, tick, that checklist is done, then you know that it’s done. It’s great for yourself and if you’re employing staff members. You know everything’s in order. It gives me comfort knowing you can find things and know things are done properly.

What I love about being a PB licensee is the in-person support from the PB leadership team and the community. Unlike other organisations, you get help from the 'top' down, not the other way around. The resources at my fingertips allow me to continually build on my skills and professionalism as a Bookkeeper. The candid and helpful experiences shared by Deb and other members reassure me that I am not alone in the challenges of running a bookkeeping business. The continuing education, generous sharing of information, and helpful tips around streamlining processes and industry-specific tech options are invaluable.

When I saw Pure Bookkeeping, I think it’s great. I think it’s amazing. It’ll be really, really worthwhile for a large number of firms. The infrastructure that it provides is something that is nearly impossible to develop as an individual while you’re growing. You always need it while you’re growing, but you can’t do it while you’re growing. It’s very well worth it.

I am happy with how the team are so helpful. They have guided me through (or are guiding me through ) the processes of setting up Pure Bookkeeping. I have now made a substantial start and while things are not perfect, I have made a start. The team at PB go over and above to assist the community and I am (or hope to be soon) ever to grateful to have a start on a smooth workflow to free my time up.

As someone who has never worked at an accounting practice or for another bookkeeper, I am excited to get best practice and a system implemented across my clients.. happy to leave go of what I am doing if it doesn't fit within PB.

I love the Worksheet. It's evolved beautifully in PB. Everything in one place in brilliant. When I get a tricky set of books, it gives me a place to check back over the figures to work out why things aren't correct.

So far, the thing I have loved and appreciated the most is the training and support: 1) The weekly zoom meets – a. Invaluable even when I don’t have anything to contribute. I always come away having learned something from someone else. b. Knowing I am not alone in this business – working from a home office can be lonely c. Knowing I can ask the ‘dumbest’ questions and get a respectful response 2) The access to top quality webinars and workshops – ie Sharon Franscisco / yours! 😊 So much support and advice for business building. 3) Access to information on other software available out there to help build my business systems ….. and discounts on most! I just feel secure and sure that moving forward, as I grow my business by adding both clients and staff, that my high level of service will be maintained and not lost. I will build a best practice bookkeeping business and I am excited about that.

Excellent layout of lessons. Easy to understand instructions. Lots of useful resources to build a bookkeeping business.

I just had an offshore candidate get 94/100 on the Pure Bookkeeping Xero Skills test. I'm gobsmacked! I've never had a score that high before. If I could have added extra bonus points it would have been closer to 100. (created unique COS accounts for the Builder client rather than coding to generic COGS account). Merged dupe profiles. Split the tolls account for the same business use% he had to split the fuel by. Thanks Pure Bookkeeping for making this type of skill test and giving me confidence that this guy isn't all talk.

Pure Workflow, great resources and a whole system you can easily implement to bring efficiency and accuracy.

I have been with Pure Bookkeeping for 13 years and I would have given up long ago without the guidance it provides.

I love the upgrade to your website and the training process is much easier to follow now. But what I really love is the templates that you have created for us to use as this is a great time saver for me. Plus your HR and marketing materials are perfect. I love the new section about building the website as this was never there before. I live that you have screenshots for the processes along that way so that I can follow along easily. Your interview and skills testing questions for new employees are also very helpful. I have used this process before and it has really helped me in finding the right qualified person.

Pure Bookkeeping enables me to be a better bookkeeper - I know that their workflows and checking methods have saved me from errors I would otherwise have made. Pure Bookkeeping adds a lot of value through a supportive community, marketing brochures, engagement letters, HR packages and workflow management. All of that is fantastic and I make full use of it, but for me, the core value comes in knowing that I'm following best-practice methods and that those methods are already documented for my staff. I tell all my bookkeeping connections about Pure Bookkeeping. It seemed like a lot of money before I started but now I wouldn't run a bookkeeping business without it.

I think it is so important to have continuity and uniformity in this profession. Pure Bookkeeping offers this in abundance with easily understandable processes and procedures.

Excellent Training and Support!

Pure Bookkeeping is a fantastic resource for all bookkeepers to have. The best part is you can work on this by yourself or you can get help from the Pure Bookkeeping family. This is the best investment to have access to. Thank you Pure Bookkeeping for helping me get started and to keep me up-to-date on new features and best practices.

This has been a excellent resource. Really love how userfriendly and incredibly helpful Pure Workflow is, and I absolutely love the new Pure Bookkeeping portal. The information has always been incredible and thorough, and now its so much more user friendly. Thank you!

I love the step by step guides and breakdown of sections.

Oh my goodness. Loving this stuff. Just sat there going through how to do a BAS yesterday with my 18 year old grandson (employee doing cert 4) and said, "This is where PBK is so brilliant cause you have the checklist and can make sure you haven’t missed anything!".

The Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was great - very enlightening. My thinking has changed as a result of the Seminar ... I now have a clear vision of where I want to go. Before I was just working, going through the motions - now I have a vision and a plan. Thanks so much!

The Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was very good. My sister and I both felt that you had exceeded our expectations. Particularly how forthcoming you were with Debbie's business ideas, costing, charge out fees etc. That is core stuff we need to know in order to set up our business to be successful. We were both surprised with the frankness with which Debbie spoke about her business - that was extraordinary actually.

As a PB licensee for some months now, I have struggled with finding and let alone implementing a workflow system that would not only save me time but also tick all the boxes. When I was offered to test Pure Workflow, I couldn't be happier to have the stress of finding a system that works with what we do as bookkeepers and, in particular, the PB checklists. I really like the ability to integrate emails and work purely in the system, client by client, task by task, rather than getting distracted by other outside noise. With time management being the biggest conversation piece in our network, I can sense that PW will help to counteract most of this and I will feel a lot more organized! Thanks again for inviting me into the system.

It is a really good platform. And one of the things I absolutely love is that it's going to have email integration and I just love that because one of the things I find is we'll have an email come in from a client, for example, and it's copied to three or four people and then you don't know, ‘Did somebody reply to this and they forgot to cc me?’ So, it would be nice that everything is right there within Pure Workflow where you can see all the correspondence with that client.

I have tried two other workflow management programs over the past few years. Having already done a set up in two programs, I was so pleased to see how easy it was for me to migrate all of my client and contact information into Pure Workflow and to get started. The big game changers for me, however, are the built-in CRM and the customization and flexibility allowed by the ability to add "customized fields" for each client. Not only do I have all of the information I want at my fingertips for each client in one place, I can easily pull the information from those fields into my workflow templates. Those two features alone have already saved me an incredible amount of time and are worth the price of admission!

I think it's going to change the world of bookkeeping. And I love that it's going to be continued to be developed by bookkeepers and accounting professionals specifically for us because we deserve that.

“Simple, easy and efficient” is the best way to describe using Pure Workflow. This is the perfect complement to our Pure Bookkeeping system.

Implementing Pure Workflow and having access to the checklist has made a big difference. Being able to check BAS and check what our bookkeepers have done, as is having the checklist there is just making it so much easier and making sure that the client's work is right, we're not sending anything out that's wrong. And the other thing that's been really helpful is the skills test. I used it last year with someone that I put on and it was fantastic. Then I've just done one recently and unfortunately it wasn't as good, but I was just so glad cause it was someone that I thought was going to be fantastic and I was just so relieved that I had the skills test to show me that that wasn't the right person for our business.

What makes me happy? The most outstanding thing of all is the sense of security and confidence that I am being the most professional bookkeeper I can be as I have the tools and knowledge available to me in an instant. It has streamlined my business and given me clear guidelines to ensure that the work I produce for my clients is the same each time… Very happy with my life right now 😊

The level of support is incredible for my business, having systems allows my business to scale.

What I like most about Pure is all of it. The information, structure and guidance are superb; it's the best investment I have made in my business, giving me the tools to achieve my goals. Pure's community feel and culture are outstanding; I always feel welcomed and supported. Thank you, Pure, and to all of its licensees; I am grateful for being in this community!

The Pure Bookkeeping System really helped me when my business was starting out. I was able to grow from a spare bedroom 2 client business to having full books for 6 employees and an entire office space away from my home. Debbie is inspirational and the whole team are friendly. I would highly recommend the Pure procedures and systems to anyone taking the leap into their own bookkeeping business.

Pure Bookkeeping has revolutionised my business. In the past I thought that I had plenty of experience and did not need Pure Bookkeeping. Oh, how my attitude has changed! The PB Community is fantastic, the systems have enabled me to confidently grow my business without the scary memories of the past and best of all, I have been re-invigorated!

I always thought, I would be able to document my processes and procedures but like most, never quite found the time. I got tired of saying "Someday" I will get to that. That is when I became a Pure Bookkeeping Licensee. They have done all of the heavy lifting when I comes to standardized bookkeeping practice. The system is very comprehensive and takes time to implement but it is so worth it. The training provided has been so beneficial for my stafff and me.

I love using the Pure Bookkeeping system because it's a "system" that's already built and always being improved and updated in line with the ongoing changes happening within our industry. With the addition of Pure Workflow and the new Pure Bookkeeping platform (both so easy to use) this is proving to be the best investment that I've made and I will continue to make. The PB team are friendly and quick to answer questions and other PB members are generous with sharing their knowledge. I'm really happy to be a part of this community providing wonderful support for bookkeepers and BAS Agents. 🤗

Pure Bookkeeping has helped my business grow and streamlined the processes that I was missing in my own business. Without it I would have had to spend a lot of time and effort coming up with the templates and manuals which would have taken me away from doing the bookkeeping that I needed to do. I also love your HR module with the skill testing question as this was integral to my finding the right employee. It has helped me weed out the bad options and show me how to find the right person for my business.

One of the best part of the Pure Bookkeeping System is the Pure Workflow Platform because it’s beautiful to look at and work in. User Interface experience is most important to me, and Pure is truly a work of art.

The Pure Bookkeeping System has given me so much confidence in the service I provide to my clients. I don't miss deadlines and my processes are clear, consistent, and thorough. I also love having the support of the community behind me. The only regret I have about implementing the Pure Bookkeeping System is that I didn't do it sooner!

The best part about the Pure Bookkeeping System is with the community help and learning, I have found it is amazing and wonderful to have a group like this.

After having a CPA friend pass away suddenly, I was asked by his wife to help notify and figure out where he was with his clients. His client folders were a mess and it took weeks to figure everything out. It was an eye opener to me and made me realize that I need to get systems in place so that if anything happens to me, anyone can quickly and easily see where everything stands. The PBS system has been incredible!! I now am confident that anybody, at any time can take over wherever I leave off should something happen. The PBS processes has improved my internal processes so that I am prepared for audits and know where to find anything I need. As a bonus, the CPAs I work with are all thrilled with the files I give them at year-ends and the clients are happier with a smaller fee from their CPA!

I think it's going to change the world of bookkeeping. And I love that it's going to be continued to be developed by bookkeepers and accounting professionals specifically for us because we deserve that.

PBS provides you with the systems and resources to build your bookkeeping business. The expertise that I have access to through the PB Community is invaluable to my business. Easily the best investment I have made to grow my business.

Best system out there.

Very efficient systems and assistance within the Pure Bookkeeping Community.

Like many business owners, I’m afraid to make hiring mistakes. Once I attended the seminar, it provided me valuable Human Resources information that will no doubt help me in the future. I definitely recommend this to my colleagues and friends.

I loved the Seven Secrets Webinar! I'm a big systems person and I was very impressed with the systematic approach you showed us for building a bookkeeping business. There was lots of helpful information about increasing services to clients and different marketing strategies. As an accountant I particularly loved the Marketing Presentation you give accountants. Although I'm just starting up my bookkeeping business, I know that the 7 Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Webinar will give me the kick start I need.

I wanted to grow my bookkeeping business but was afraid to hire people. I loved the streamlined approach to hiring, training and business systems that Pure Bookkeeping offered. The bonus was the supportive community of bookkeepers and mentorship from Debbie and the Pure Bookkeeping team.

The Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business was inspirational. I attended not knowing if the information would be relevant for me as I work in my own practice part time and I hadn’t decided if I wanted to grow my practice into a business. Peter was fantastic with the way he presented the content of the Seminar which really helped me clarify my vision and goals. I can really appreciate the work that Deb has put into the Pure Bookkeeping System over the past 10 years having written many manuals myself. I would recommend the Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business to all bookkeepers who need direction and is unsure about what the future holds for them.

I became a Pure Bookkeeping licensee in March 2018 and it's the best decision I've made for my business. As a Tax Accountant, I wanted to be able to provide my clients with a complete solution for their business including bookkeeping and advisory services. The Pure Bookkeeping System has given me the confidence to put on three full time staff knowing that they are all following best practices. Because the PBS leverages a lot of the cloud technology needed to run a bookkeeping business remotely, I was able to take my first holiday in five years! As a licensee I've taken advantage of the discounts you get from the technology vendors and signed up with Karbon to manage workflow, leveraging the detailed checklists and procedures provided by Pure Bookkeeping. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the PBS for anyone serious about growing their business, especially tax accountants looking to offer bookkeeping as a service. The support from the PBS team and amazing work they put into always updating the system ensures my team are always following best practice by utilising Pure Bookkeeping.

The Seven Secrets Seminar was fantastic. I loved the fact that Pete & Deb are as passionate about empowering business owners around their finances as I am. I can see that the Pure Bookkeeping System will help me achieve my goals with more efficiency and I can’t wait to get started!Thanks Pete for the spreadsheet you provided – I’ve already added my Vision Statement and have put my next financial year plans in place.

What I enjoyed about the Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was that Deb shared information that bookkeepers usually keep close to their chest. She gave us strategies she has used to grow her business and told us frankly about the issues she has encountered and how to avoid them. I learnt that I need to value the service I provide my clients and not take that for granted and I definitely need to put up my prices! The Seven Secrets Seminar has opened my eyes to what other bookkeepers are doing and how much they are charging. It was a real eye-opener.

I was very impressed with the ethos that the Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar gave to the bookkeeping profession and it has certainly reignited my focus to concentrate on providing a great service to my clients and provide more than just BAS statements and reports for their accountant. After all, I’m not “just a bookkeeper”!

I became a Pure Bookkeeping licensee in June 2017 I was working four days a week with a few clients on the side. I customised the Sales & Marketing templates in the Pure Bookkeeping System and started marketing. I did a letter box drop using the postcard template, added my client testimonials on the back and got a great response. I customised the template to create a great website and two accountants have approached me and want to refer business to me. I set up fixed fees and direct debits with all the new clients and within six weeks of becoming a licensee I was able to resign my job! My next goal is to have enough money for my husband to reduce his hours and work part time by July 2018 so we can spend time on our property. Everything you need to market your business is in the PBS. There's a checklist you can use to do a "Health Check" of the clients data file, client engagement letters, professional presentations for prospects and Accountants and much more. Becoming a licensee was the best business decision I've made. The PBS has already paid for itself in only six weeks!

I became a licensee in 2012 and I love the Checklists and processes in the Pure Bookkeeping System but I particularly love being part of the Pure Bookkeeping Community. The ongoing support, not only from Deb, but also from the community was something that I wasn’t expecting. Even though there are hundreds of licensees, somehow Deb makes me feel like I’m the only one. Growing a bookkeeping business can be an isolating experience. It’s much less so with the support of Deb, the customer support team and the other licensees in the Pure Bookkeeping community.

I’ve been a Pure Bookkeeping licensee since 2013 and have progressively implemented the Pure Bookkeeping System. My income has doubled in the last 12 months by word of mouth referrals and this would not have been possible without the PBS. My staff are now trained to use the Checklists to make sure everything reconciles before I lodge a BAS or IAS. The peace of mind that this gives me means that I can spend my time working ON my business creating efficiencies which have not only resulted in an increase in turnover but also an increase in profitability. If you want to grow your bookkeeping business, you would be crazy to do it without the PBS.

The Seven Secret of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar’ is really spot on the mark. Bookkeeping is a diverse business with a broad range of areas we need to keep a breast of, not to mention every client is different. The Seven Secrets Seminar provided great and paramount guidelines about what it takes to both grow your Bookkeeping Business & maintain it at a high level ahead of the rest, leaving your clients, your staff & ultimately you personally more than happy.

PBS really streamlines the process of Bookkeeping and teaches you what you didn't know that you didn't know. It creates a uniform process for your whole team to use.

I think Pete and Deb have really undersold what they're offering everybody. It simply is, far and away the best system that exists on the market place today. There's no real comparison in what's available in franchises. The Pure Bookkeeping System gives certainty, certainty gives confidence, confidence builds strength; it empowers your clients and just as importantly empowers you around your business. What you're being offered today is something of incredible value at really negligible cost. You can't get better support than what Pete and Deb are offering.

The information we received at the Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was very useful. Things like setting up Paysmart direct debits for my clients so that I don’t have to chase money and have a “Relationship Agreement” at the start of the appointment to ask for referrals. I’ve tightened up and improved some of my own systems in my business as a result of the Seminar. Thanks guys.

The Seven Secrets of Growing Your Bookkeeping Business Seminar was full of great information. I am passionate about bookkeeping and it gave me a buzz to see that Debbie has the same drive and passion about empowering business owners around their finances. That really is what I am about. I’m not “just a bookkeeper” and Deb and Pete made that message come across loud and clear. As I’m just starting up I’ve already put into place some of the strategies Pete spoke about as part of the 7 x 5 Marketing Plan by putting together a flyer and handing it out to business owners in my area. An unexpected bonus was that while I was networking with other bookkeepers at the seminar I handed out my business card and offered my services so I might get work from them as well! That is a bonus! There is something for everyone at the Seven Secrets Seminar, it doesn’t matter what stage your business is at.

The biggest thing that jumped out at me was how much the authors knew about me and my business. Page after page was full of solutions that fit my business perfectly because it’s written for bookkeepers. The end result? Now I have a more specific destination (where I want to take my business) and now I’m in the middle of mapping out how to get there. Thanks to Debbie for not quitting even though I know that she felt like doing just that many times.

Brilliant systems, useful details, clarity in step by step processes. Marketing assistance I didn’t know I needed. I came for the systems and am impressed but the rest is pure gold

Before attending the 7 Secrets seminar, I thought I was giving my clients more than they expect. After attending it, I can see where I can do better. An “Aha” moment was finding out I can add services. So, I will create manuals on each client. I thought (Michael) did an outstanding job with the seminar.

Pure Bookkeeping has helped me significantly as a resource for tools and even more so as a network of fellow bookkeepers from across Canada who are trying to grow their businesses. It’s fantastic having a group of people to ask questions of and explore options in a safe non-judgement environment. If you want to grow your business and do it right then the Pure Bookkeeping’s tools and network are invaluable.
