Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery

11/29/21 • 7 min

If COVID has taught us one thing, it’s that having a business continuity plan is necessary moving forward.
In this episode I want you to think about your own business continuity planning for your business and how that has effectively become a business continuity planning process that can now be documented and written into your business systems.
Second to this, I want you to think about the change management principles this pandemic has activated and how that too should be something documented and accounted for within your business.
COVID-19 business continuity has enlightened us with many learnings as we’ve been forced to pivot and adapt at lightning speed. Planning for a pandemic and business continuity were likely not on the agenda before now and in the face of such a pandemic, your ability to adapt has possibly taught you more than prepping without actual experience. That being said, how can we use COVID-19 as effective crisis management planning, business continuity planning and disaster recovery as we move forward?

Well, starting a social purpose enterprise is a little different to starting a nonprofit organisation and many people think they are one in the same. I want to use this episode to walk you through the differences and what that actually means for you as you start your enterprise.
To be clear, this is not a social enterprise vs nonprofit in terms of which is better but rather which is better for you and your goals.

My guidelines for finding an accountant

Finding an accountant can be a daunting task at the best of times. On the one hand there is an abundance of accountants all seemingly performing the same duties. On the other hand, how do you know who to trust? Do they specialise in your type of business? How do you go about asking the right questions when you’re hiring an accountant?
I’m going to answer these questions and more in today’s episode. Hiring an accountant for small business doesn’t have to be scary and you don’t need to fear it. Knowing how to choose an accountant really comes down to the values you hold and whether or not the accountants you talk to hold similar values to you.
So, listen and learn how to pick an accountant, learn the difference between a cpa and accountant and take notes on the questions to ask your accountant to help inform your final decisions.
