Hosted by me, Mike Psaras.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last 10 years, the role of the accountant has shifted and transformed from a yearly number cruncher to something more, a strategic partner who can help you make better business decisions and guide you towards lasting success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a decade of working for other companies, I decided to ditch the suit and tie and start my own firm, focusing on small businesses and entrepreneurs. I&#8217;ve used my experience to help aspiring business owners to thrive by demystifying accountancy, cutting the jargon and dishing out straightforward advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every two weeks, I\u2019ll get up close and personal with some amazing business owners who\u2019ve seen and done it all, asking the questions that really matter to you, the entrepreneurial accountant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every episode will be packed full of practical advice for starting your own accountancy firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll talk about everything from business planning and getting set up the right way to growing your business, managing clients, strategy and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you&#8217;re thinking about being your own boss, this is the only show you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure you catch every episode, subscribe to the channel, or sign up to the Sage Advice newsletter at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"single-cta\">\n\t<div class=\"single-cta__positioner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__wrapper has-dark-background-color\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"single-cta__title h3\">Subscribe to the Sage Advice newsletter<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Join more than 500,000 UK readers and get the best business admin strategies and tactics, as well as actionable advice to help your company thrive, in your inbox every month.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"#gate-b1a63862-3fa0-4a5e-bb67-c76b88bbc6b8\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"single-cta__button button button--primary\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>Subscribe now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-gb\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1073797282-1-1440x810.jpg\" class=\"single-cta__image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-gb\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1073797282-1-1440x810.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 48em) 33vw, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to our new series, The Entrepreneurial Accountant.
