Jo Wood knows how to be a brilliant bookkeeper and a successful business owner and has a podcast, book and runs courses to teach others to do the same.

Jo also runs an award-winning six figure bookkeeping practice around her family and has rapidly grown her business to a team of 12 in less than two years. During this episode she explains how you can start and scale a practice, find great clients, design services that transform businesses and charge more than you think bookkeeping is worth.

Beyond Numbers, hosted by Ash Gibson, is a platform for pacesetters within Xero's community to chat candidly about the issues and topics that crop up at work. It's about exploring the challenges and talking through the tips, tricks and insights together. It's not about educating accountants on how to do their job, but more on how to win at work.
