Since the outbreak of Covid-19, business owners have worked harder on their businesses than ever before. Whether that involves hard work to keep up with demand, or hard work trying to keep afloat, everyone has definitely worked to their limit. Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we have all been thrown into unprecedented circumstances, meaning that we have had to adjust our processes and business procedures like never before.<\/p>\n

The new normal<\/h2>\n

And now that \u2018normality\u2019 is slowly returning, here at Kirkwood Wilson, we are speaking to more and more people who are feeling burnt out with the stress of the last few months. We have been advising people to slow down and take stock.<\/p>\n

As we have all been through very unusual circumstances in recent months, it is important to slow down our thought processes, limit our stress levels, and pause for a moment. As many of us know, some of our best \u2018light bulb\u2019 moments often happen when on a walk or in the shower, usually when you are away from your desk or laptop and having a moment of rest.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019ve been busier than ever before or your business has been so quiet that you may have thought about closing down, now is the time to hit pause and take a look at everything that has happened, what could happen again, and ways in which we, your accountants, can help.<\/p>\n

Kirkwood Wilson are here to help<\/h2>\n

We are proud to say that we have helped so many clients to get their business fully set up in the cloud, with Xero<\/a>, ReceiptBank for bookkeeping, stock systems, appointment software, invoice chasing software, virtual meeting software – you name it, we\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

We recommend to our customers that by building up your bank of business apps, the easier it is to stay on top of all your accounting requirements. All of these types of apps and software help with the day to day running of your business online, sometimes eliminating the need for any extra staff, sometimes even eliminating the need for a business premises. What a saving that would be!<\/p>\n

The biggest addition to our own \u2018app stack\u2019 is Futrli, which helps to manage cash flow which in turn helps you to better manage your business and do what you love.<\/p>\n

In these new \u2018different\u2019 times, automation of so many simple tasks is one of the main priorities for many business owners. Without doubt, these are difficult times, for many different reasons. We recognise this, and we are here to help.<\/p>\n
