Virtual CFO
As the owner of Chocolate Velvet (at the time) we had used BYN for 4 years. In the time we had with Leah we had a very clear understanding of the business at any time. Leah and the team have been amazing to work with, from general bookkeeping, payroll, gst, paying suppliers to strategic planning and business coaching.
As covid hit us hard we had to change the way we worked, consulting with Leah team we were able to put a plan in place to over come the hard times and staffing issues (which Leah was heavily involved in), meeting with staff and even hiring.
I would encourage any business owner that wants more from their business and more free time to meet with Leah and team to understand how amazing the service is.

Business planning
From a client I have had for over 4 years, he is a tradie and has ADHD.
His comments were that he was always looking for beyond the numbers stuff but did not have the courage to ask for further help, everyone else has always just focused on the bottom line with him and he knows we know there is more to business than that and he needed more than that.
Coming to the office, seeing my values on the wall and discussing these in the planning session, referring back to what I was trying to get from him, allowed him to paint the big picture in his head, overcome his fear, he knows I won't bullshit him, and he said he found me and the session to be truly inspirational.
Business Services
When I started my current business - Penati Crackers - I decided that I wanted the flexibility to be able to work from anywhere in the world. Part of this process was having a good bookkeeper to attend to the accounting tasks like GST, tax payments, and other issues that pop up from time to time.
My first bookkeeping company didn't work out too well and after about 8 months I started looking for a new company that would meet my expectations.
And low and behold, Leah Keown popped up one day. I've been thrilled with her service, knowledge on Xero and other bookkeeping practises and her ability to get things done in a timely and cost effective manner.
Leah has literally saved me thousands of dollars per year by speeding up processes and thereby charging less time.
I'm particularly relieved that when I can't do my sales and invoicing for a day, or if I want a break for a week or two Leah can step in at short notice and perform these tasks seamlessly.
If your books are keeping you awake at night - give Leah a call, she's incredibly professional, practical and approachable.

Business Development
Leah and the Beyond Your Numbers team have helped us in measurable ways in the short time we have been working with them.
We have actioned a number of positive changes which have been due to her input. Even after many years in business, there were things we just weren't doing well. We are on the path to having better systems in place to cope with the day to day running of our business and to be able to spend less time doing bookwork!
