L
isa Martin is empathetic towards business owners who experience
the winter blues…
"Right now I'm not feeling very enthusiastic and passionate
about my business because I'm stuck in delivery," says the founder and
managing director of GoFi8ure. "This happens every year. I tend to fall
into an end of the financial year funk."
Lisa's passion lies in building her bookkeeping accounting business –
seeing her GoFi8urines establishing effective working relationships with
clients, implementing integrated systems and achieving progress and
satisfaction for the client.
"I genuinely feel very excited to see something work that I built or to
see that I hired a person that was a good fit for a particular client. When
I don't get to experience that on an every second day basis and I'm
stuck in delivery I fall foul of working in my business instead of on my
business. I imagine that happens for a lot of business owners from time
to time. When I get stuck, for lack of resource, working in my business I
do not enjoy it as much.
"We make a promise to our clients that because we're looking after
their accounts so diligently throughout the year, when it comes to the
end of the financial year we should have end of year packs completed
ready for the chartered accountant by May 7. That means that from the
middle of March to May 7 the work is intense. We do put pressure on
ourselves to deliver that brand promise.
"It will also be the time where people's inadequacies are polarized.
A completely focused GoFi8urine gets the job done and nothing can
stand in their way. A weak link in the team creates all sorts of problems
which reduces the passion and energy when you're sidelined to deal
with underperforming staff."
Go Fi8ure is in search of experts in bookkeeping and accountancy to
join Lisa's team of superheros and help revive her love for her business.
"Great people do not come along just when you need them so we
keep our feelers out throughout the entire year in search of individuals
with competent skills around GST, accounts, end of day adjustment
journals, reconciling loans as well as having the passion to learn and
grow. We have an intensive process for recruitment and selection. We
are honest about what the job requires – the good, the bad and the
ugly. Basically, we're looking for superheros which could be a tall order
for people who just want to go to work and then go home. We're selling
something a little different."
