No Accounting for Taste ep66: Change your thinking to succeed post-virus

Host Richard Hattersley is joined this week by PracticeWeb’s Ray Newman and the founder of Prime Entry, Kevin Whitehouse.

The pod team takes a look at the biggest stories from the past week. During the conversation, we hear how Whitehouse has tackled government schemes such as the self employed income support scheme and furlough scheme, and how working from home wasn’t such of a big adjustment.

Another big talking point as of late has been the effect the virus has had on accountants’ mental health. The team discuss techniques to break the always-on workload and the merits of charging what you’re worth.

Finally, Kevin and Ray offer their thoughts on how accountants can thrive post-virus. Ray shares stories of how accountants have used this period to demonstrate their value, while Kevin encourages accountants to stay positive despite the obvious doom and gloom of a global pandemic.
