74. Crafting your team: Why you need both a Bookkeeper and an Accountant

Many business owners assume their accountant is the only financial expert they need—but the truth is, a strategic bookkeeper plays a vital and complementary role. In this episode of The Rural Bookkeeping Podcast, we break down the key differences between bookkeepers and accountants and why having both on your team unlocks new levels of financial clarity, compliance, and growth.

From managing your day-to-day numbers and cash flow to ensuring smooth BAS compliance and financial reporting, bookkeepers offer hands-on support that keeps your business running efficiently. Meanwhile, accountants focus on tax planning, financial strategy, and compliance at a higher level.

We’ll also highlight how working with a strategic bookkeeper means you get more than just number-crunching—we help you understand your finances, implement better cash flow systems, and provide real-time insights to improve decision-making.

Tune in to learn how to maximise your financial team and avoid the common mistake of thinking your accountant can (or should) do it all!
