Business Coaching For Bookkeepers

Working Harder Isn't Fixing It

Business Coaching For Those Who Want More Profit, More Time, And Less Stress

The goal is simple: 

your team delivers the client work, you are fully out of daily delivery, and you trust the process within 90 days, without burning your team out. I've created a predictable system for it. 

Here's how it works: 

First, we see the real picture. 

You track time per client, list every task you are performing including the extras you are doing for free, and check your pricing against the hours you are actually spending. 

We map your seasonal workload, define your ideal client, and build 2 to 3 fixed-fee service packages with clear, documented scope. 

The good news is you don't need any of this already figured out. The data tells you. 

You finish this phase with a documented picture of exactly where your time and profit are leaking, and packages with pricing that reflects the value you deliver. 

Next, we build the system and train your team. 

We document your core workflows as repeatable SOPs, starting with the highest-impact processes first. Then we assess your existing team, fill any gaps, and train them using the SOPs you have built. 

We also set up the tools that cut the manual load: bank feeds, workflow software, a client portal, and automated reminders. You won't have to document everything at once. We start where it makes the most difference and build from there. 

You finish this phase with written processes anyone competent can follow, at least one team member handling documented work independently, and a tech stack that handles the repetitive tasks automatically. 

Then, we protect what you've built. 

We put a regular review rhythm in place, monthly or quarterly, so you are checking client profitability, team capacity, and pricing against market rates on a schedule rather than waiting for something to break. 

This works even if you have never run a structured business review before. The template and prompts make it straightforward to run in under an hour each quarter. You finish here with a business that maintains its margins, protects your team's capacity, and keeps surfacing growth opportunities before problems resurface. 

That is the full Freedom Sequence. 

Your team is delivering the client work. You are progressing your way out of it. I've spent years building systems and teams across multiple businesses and industries, and working with bookkeeping business owners is where this approach really lands. 

I'm looking for a very specific group of people: You have a team, or you are actively building one. There needs to be someone to hand the work to. You are a hands-on implementer. This is done-with-you. You will be tracking time, building SOPs, and training your team alongside me. 

You are ready to act on what the data shows, including repricing clients and having the conversations that follow. 

You are still doing the client work yourself. This is for owners who are still in it and want out (or reduce that time significantly). You are friendly, curious, and coachable, and you will be fun to work with. 

Here's what it looks like inside We run weekly group coaching calls where we work through your actual numbers, your SOPs, and your team, so you get real feedback on your specific situation. 

You also get hot seat coaching slots during those calls so you can bring sticking points and get them resolved on the spot. The program is built around a 6-module course on Skool, broken into the three phases of the Freedom Sequence. Each module covers one step so you can watch it, apply it, and move forward the same day. 

You will have access to a business toolkit with templates, default diary training, plus SOP creation training that walks you through exactly how to build a process your team can follow without you standing over them. 

The time tracking and profitability calculator makes the Milestone 1 data work fast and clear. 

The private Skool community, with weekday support from 8am to 6pm Brisbane time, means you are never sitting on a question. Weekly accountability check-ins keep momentum going between sessions.

That's where Grace Coaching helps.

Does This Sound Familiar?

❌ You're constantly putting out fires
❌ Revenue has stalled and you're not sure why
❌ Your team depends on you for every decision
❌ Marketing feels inconsistent or non-existent
❌ You miss family time because work never stops
❌ Cashflow keeps you awake at night
❌ You're working harder than ever and not seeing the reward
❌ You know something needs to change and you don't know where to start

If you're nodding along, you're not alone.
Most business owners hit a point where working harder stops working.

And that's usually the point where real change begins.

What Happens If Nothing Changes?

Think about where your business will be in 12 months if everything stays exactly the same.

The same stress.
The same staffing headaches.
The same long hours.
The same frustration.
The same feeling that you're carrying the whole business on your shoulders.

Now imagine the opposite.

Walking into work with a clear plan.
Having staff who take ownership.
Knowing your numbers.
Having systems that actually work.
Being home for dinner without checking your phone every five minutes.

That's the difference the right coaching can make.

The Grace Coaching Difference

A lot of business coaches have studied business.

We've lived it.
We've owned businesses.
We've managed teams.
We've dealt with financial pressure.
We've overcome health issues.
We've survived Divorce and relationship hurdles.
We've worked through difficult life events while trying to keep businesses running.
We know what it's like when things feel overwhelming.
And we know what works because we've been there ourselves.
You're not getting textbook advice.

You're getting practical guidance from someone who's sat in your seat.

Our Simple Coaching Framework

Step 1: Understand Where You Are Now

We start by looking at what's happening in your business today.

What's working.
What's not.

And what's holding you back including your emotional drivers.

Step 2: Define Where You Want To Be

What does success actually look like for you?

More profit?
More freedom?
A stronger team?
Less stress?
More family time?

We'll get clear on the outcome you're working towards.

Step 3: Focus only on the next 90 Days 

Aligned to your long term Vision

No complicated reports.
No endless theory.

Just a focused plan with practical actions that move the business forward.

Step 4: Implement With Support

You'll have regular coaching sessions, accountability, and support between meetings.

You don't have to figure everything out alone.

Real Results From Real Business Owners

26.15% Revenue Growth Through Challenging Circumstances

One professional services business owner increased revenue by 26.15% over a rolling 12 months period.

This happened while managing health challenges, family pressures, a major business restructure, and significant operational changes.

The growth happened because they had clarity, accountability, and support when they needed it most.

From Staffing Chaos To Customer Compliments

A retail business owner was struggling with poor staff performance and ongoing stress.

Together, we uncovered the real issues:

  • Poor onboarding
  • Broken rostering systems
  • A toxic team member

Once those problems were addressed, customers began commenting on the positive atmosphere in the store.
Customer retention improved.
Repeat purchases increased.
And the business owner finally felt back in control.

What We Can Help With

✅ Business growth strategies
✅ Team leadership and management
✅ Hiring and staffing decisions
✅ Marketing and lead generation
✅ Sales improvement
✅ Systems and processes
✅ Time management
✅ Profitability and financial control
✅ Accountability and decision-making

Because every business problem affects every part of the business.
And solving one area often improves several others.

"I've Never Worked With A Business Coach Before"

That's completely normal.
Many of our clients felt the same way.

They weren't sure if coaching would help.
They weren't sure if they had time.

And they weren't sure if it would be worth the investment.
Those concerns make sense.

The reality is that most business owners wait until they're overwhelmed before asking for support.
The good news is you don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Sometimes a single conversation can create more clarity than months of trying to solve everything yourself.

What Would Change If You Had The Right Support?

What would it mean to:

✅ Leave work earlier
✅ Feel confident about your decisions
✅ Build a stronger team
✅ Improve profitability
✅ Stop carrying the weight of the business alone
✅ Enjoy running your business again

That future may be closer than you think.

The choice is yours.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions about our services.

The duration of the coaching program varies depending on the client's needs and goals. It can range from a few weeks to a few months with many clients now into their 3rd year with exceptional results. The best way is just to start on the fortnightly online 1:1 video sessions designed to explore your Goals, options and coach you through the process to completion.  This allows time to effectively work on your Goals, overcome the blockages (which usually appear in sessions 3 to 5) and to progress whilst allowing the body and mind to accept the changes.

This is achieved by two scheduled sessions per month but you  have access to clarity calls when required rather than waiting until your scheduled session.

We meet you in your business phase to support you. 

Sessions are provided via Video internet calls.

Structure:

Return on Investment (ROI)

Most people mistakenly confuse ROI purely with money. I know this is important, however, most people don’t realise that coaching has many non-tangible benefits. Such as return on your time; regaining family time; improved systems and business efficiency; improved relationships at home; and reducing stress and conflict within the business.

Coaching is a service and not always just financially tangible, what you can gain back in quality of life is why Grace Coaching is a holistic coaching service that sees you - not just your business
