When it comes to accounting and bookkeeping, creatives may potentially cringe or run in fear, burying their head in the sand. Sound familiar?

I avoided REALLY knowing my numbers for quite some time. I went from "struggle street" to now, having a profitable business as I keep an eye on my financials frequently.

Good bookkeeping helps!

In this episode of 'Studio Biz and All That Jazz', I am joined by bookkeeping expert and Coach, Kimberley Rodney. She is the director and owner of "My Bookkeeping Coach".

This episode is a great one because for a long time, we've seen acrobatics brought into the performing arts studio environment. Sometimes they are delivered really well and other times, they need improvement and lots of work.

Sometimes it's really hard to find teachers who are qualified or have the skills and the safety knowledge around bringing Acro into our studios, in a way that is engaging but also using safe practice.

Peter Pearson is an Acro expert who helps develop acro-ready teaches and is the founder and CEO of ACROTRIX. Peter trained as a gymnast for over 15 years and has run an internationally successful acro school for over eight years. Enjoy the interview with Peter!
