Amy has always loved to break the stereotype that bookkeepers are a bunch of 'cardigan wearers'. Despite what some people think, not all bookkeepers are shy, introverted, analytical people who get excited about deadlines and compliance.

In 2020, bookkeepers come in a rainbow of colours, and beige is no longer one of them! Now more than ever, it's important to understand where you fit into the 16-Personalities matrix (aka MTBI or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). This will allow you to know your strengths and work with them, making better hiring decisions and understanding your clients more deeply.

Key takeaway: "If you think you need to have a certain personality because you're a bookkeeper, it's not true! You don't need to fit a mould. You just need to be YOU."
