Beyond The Balance AU

BEYOND THE BALANCE — Collaborating & Celebrating Two women. Two sides of the numbers. Plenty of opinions. What really happens behind the numbers when you're running a business? Welcome to Beyond the Balance, where Bookkeeper & BAS Agent Denise Twigger and Accountant Emma Fabbro get together to talk about the stuff business owners actually need to know — without drowning you in accounting jargon. Denise is based in Perth, Western Australia, and brings more than 30 years of experience working with businesses, bookkeeping, payroll and compliance. As the owner of BAS and Balances, she has a particular passion for helping small businesses and tradies simplify their systems, embrace technology and paperless solutions, understand their numbers and, most importantly, get some of their time back. Denise believes business owners shouldn't need an accounting degree to understand what's happening in their own business — but they do need the right people around them to explain it. Then there's Emma Fabbro — the Accountant bringing another perspective to the conversation. Emma looks beyond the day-to-day transactions to the bigger financial picture, helping businesses understand what their numbers are telling them and how the decisions they make today can affect where their business goes tomorrow. And that's exactly why Beyond the Balance works. A bookkeeper and an accountant don't always look at things through the same lens — and that's where the interesting conversations begin! Together, Denise and Emma unpack topics including bookkeeping, tax, cash flow, payroll, superannuation, compliance, technology, business systems and the constant stream of changes that Australian business owners are expected to keep up with. But this isn't a podcast about spreadsheets and balance sheets. We'll also talk about the real side of running a business — the mistakes, the lessons, the late nights, the wins, the frustrations and those moments when you wonder why you ever thought going into business was a good idea! Expect practical tips, straight-talking conversations, different perspectives, plenty of laughs and the occasional "Hang on, I don't agree with you there!" We'll also invite guests to share their expertise, experiences and stories because we believe some of the best business knowledge comes from having conversations and learning from each other. Whether you're running a business, thinking about starting one, or simply want to better understand what's happening behind your numbers, pull up a chair and join the conversation. Because your business is about far more than what's sitting on the balance sheet. 🎧 Real business. Real conversations. Two perspectives. Beyond the Balance Collaborating & Celebrating Come for the numbers. Stay for the conversation.
