In the latest episode of Behind the Books, we are joined by Mike Kelly and Ata McGregor from 2Shakes to talk about onboarding, AML, engagement letters, authority to act, and why getting your systems right from the start matters more than most Bookkeepers realise.

This conversation is practical, funny, and full of real-world insights for Bookkeepers at every stage of business.

Plusโ€ฆ thereโ€™s a debate about white chocolate, some camping chat, and a very unexpected conversation about goat-herding Bookkeepers.

More and more New Zealand businesses are moving to eInvoicing - a faster, safer, and more accurate way to send and receive invoices.

Instead of emailing PDFs, invoice information is sent directly between accounting systems, reducing administration and helping businesses get paid faster.

In our latest blog, we cover:

โœ” What eInvoicing is
โœ” Why businesses should be using it
โœ” How to set it up in Xero
โœ” How to set it up in MYOB
โœ” What to do if you use other accounting software

If you're a Bookkeeper, this is a conversation worth having with your clients.

Itโ€™s a question many Bookkeepers are hearing more often from clients.

As AI tools continue growing inside accounting software and business systems, business owners are naturally wondering what role human support still plays.

But clients are not just paying for transactions to be processed.

They are paying for clarity, trust, communication, and someone who understands the story behind the numbers.

Our latest blog explores:

โ€ข Why more clients are asking if AI can replace Bookkeepers
โ€ข What AI is genuinely changing
โ€ข Why human judgement still matters
โ€ข How Bookkeepers can stay valuable in a changing industry
