25.01.2022 We are big fans of @Xero because it removes the need to shuffle paper -saving heaps of time! Did you know you can take photos of receipts and upload from your mobile directly to Xero ready to action? Or that you can forward invoices from your email directly to Xero ready to create as a bill?... Were always happy to chat about how Xero can save time in your business!

22.01.2022 Wouldnt it be nice to chat to your own qualified accountant without the worry of what they will charge? Unlimited contact support is the key to the success of our genuine partnership. Im keen to help you improve your business from the inside out, not bill your for every minute.... Get in touch to find out why The Wandering CFOs approach is ideal for you!

20.01.2022 This quote by Tony Hsieh is an apt way to contemplate your profession. Are you chasing your tail when it comes to bookwork/finance/budgeting/forecasting/cashflow? The hassle of dealing with our finances can seriously cloud over any passion and enjoyment we get out of our day to day job. The Wandering CFO has you covered, giving you the time and headspace to get stuck into the things you love about your job. CHASE YOUR PASSION.

20.01.2022 Want to know one thing you can implement right now to boost productivity? Get rid of your pop up notifications on your phone and computer. Switch those life-spammers off! I was hesitant at first but it has helped me take control of my day and tackle my priorities.... Balance this with setting aside time (that suits you) to check emails, etc. and you will instantly feel proactive rather than reactive.

19.01.2022 Cant find time to go see someone about helping you get control of your books, improving your profit and growing your business? There is a better way! The difference with The Wandering CFO is I visit you in person - on site, in your home or at the local cafe (or pub!) - the old-fashioned way.... Well also use video conferencing to have real-time access to the information you need, wherever and whenever you need it. The Wandering CFO - not your average accountant.

17.01.2022 For our businesses to survive this shut down period (and the restart period), it will take more than government support. We need to make (and keep) our business finances fit and healthy - just like ourselves! There has been an incredible amount of information to absorb over the last couple of weeks.... Which is why we have developed a Business Continuity Hub - a one-stop-shop for small business owners, covering: Financial Resilience Government Help Health & Wellbeing Your Business Continuity Plan (watch this space...)

15.01.2022 Todays tech focus is on getting rid of the hassle of manual timesheets. Wasted time chasing timesheets? Dodgy handwriting anyone?

14.01.2022 Well what a show Mother Nature put on yesterday! Big rain here in north east VIC with 107ml recorded overnight!!! Our thoughts are with those whose homes were inundated last night and we are sending out thanks to the local SES, Roads VIC and Fire services who had a huge day cleaning up today!... Despite all the excitement, it felt good to wake up to the sun glinting on the pastures knowing that our farmers at least can smile with the paddocks turning green before our eyes.

12.01.2022 One of the last sunny days of the year, wandering around Yackandandah. Dont let the sunshine fool you, it was crisp and cold and I would have froze save for the backpack full of kid! Heres to a cold and misty weekend, which hopefully includes a fireplace, bottle of wine and great company to welcome the winter ahead.

03.01.2022 WHO IS THE WANDERING CFO? It has been a while since I last introduced myself so I thought I would repost a little write up about myself and what it I do: The Wandering CFO brings financial smarts and control to small businesses, helping them control their books, improve their profit and grow their business.... Life and work have taken me from rural Victoria to Melbourne via the corners of the globe and have offered me experience in a variety of industries including farming, trades, hospitality, transport and logistics and retail. The Wandering CFO is inspired by endless encounters with small business entrepreneurs whilst travelling with my wife through Europe, Africa, Oceania and South America. From B&Bs to budget hotels with electrifying showers; bus companies to animal-overloaded minivans; corner stores to market stalls and the everywhere middle man. These are the real people of the world. Small businesses are the driving force of the Australian economy and its where real ideas, skills and passion are found. I share that passion for small business. I am keen to support their success by partnering with owners inside the business and providing a trusted source for financial perspective. Luke, Chief Wanderer

02.01.2022 For those spending reasonable amounts of time in the office, do you use two monitors? I reckon I lose at least 50% productivity when working off a single screen or laptop. These days, quality monitors are affordable and having a dual setup offers the benefits of:... 1. Increased productivity 2. Viewing or comparing multiple programs, documents and plans side-by-side 3. Removing the need for paper plans 4. Keeping emails open on one screen 5. Engaging in video calls whilst viewing other data 6. Connecting laptop to bigger screens when in the office Are you a dualer or singler?
