Reviews

The sage advice in these pages are worth their weight in gold to any small business owner. Anna is the only accountant that made me feel okay around the books, numbers and accounts for my business.

Better understanding really does lead to better decisions and a better run business.

This is a really practical and insightful book from someone that knows business, accounting and people! A must read for anyone starting out or in a business that they want to grow.

Adrianne Carter of D-Coded Insights Limited

As in her other books, Anna takes a daunting business challenge and breaks it down into easily digestible and manageable chunks. Her accessible approach and jargon-free language is a welcome breath of fresh air and makes the topics she covers relatable and understandable. Her chapter on 'Setting your goals' confidently mentors from initial business idea to 5-year objectives - valuable for would-be entrepreneurs just starting out to established business owners needing new inspiration."

It's a great read - accessible, plain language providing useful guidance and tips in a clear and structured approach, equipping the reader with the tools to apply the thinking. A valuable resource to anyone; not just those in business.

I've read a lot of business books in my time, but this one really stands out from the crowd. Not only is it crammed full of solid advice, it is a workbook too, allowing you to see how your own numbers stack up. A must-read for all small business owners!

Philip Oakley, Xero Technologist

After reading chapter 3 of Anna's latest book I feel much more aware of time management and it has left me feeling better able to tackle this longstanding challenge I have. The tips section is great and the way that it has been laid out really makes it much easier to digest and make real use of it rather than like many books, reading it and not implementing the new changes and ideas. My favourite part has to be the last section of the chapter where you can write down your actions to start making use of the knowledge Anna has gained from her own experiences. The diagrams and bullet points make it easy to digest what you need to know and in turn helping you remember the importance of time management when running a business. I will definitely be buying the book and look forward to implementing new habits into the daily running of my business. Thank you Anna.
