   The Quiet Power of Proper Pricing

   Busy doesn't mean profitable. In this episode of FFS, Rachael Chadwick Harrison is joined by James "Monty", Senior Accountant at Chadwick Accountants, to talk about one of the trickiest decisions in business... what to charge. They cover cost-based vs. value-based pricing, the costs owners forget (including paying themselves), why being too cheap can actually lose you work, and the numbers to check before putting your prices up. The episode ties into a chapter from Rachael's upcoming book, The Black Book, What It Actually Takes to Build a £1 Million Service Business.

   Presenting Yourself

   If you're not committed to prepare, you're just committing to fail. In this episode of FFS, host Rachael Chadwick Harrison is joined by Tara, Business Operations Executive at Chadwick Accountants and, outside of work, an amateur dramatics performer who recently played Sandy in Grease, to talk about why presenting yourself well matters just as much as being good at your job. Drawing on lessons from the stage, from smiling and reading the room to the discomfort of watching yourself back on camera, Tara and Rachael cover what makes a great first impression with new clients, why existing clients deserve just as much effort as the ones you're still trying to win, and how new starters size up a business within their first week. The episode ties into a chapter from Rachael's upcoming book, out in October.

   Top 10 Tips for New Businesses

   Cash flow doesn't care how much you believe in your business. In this episode of FFS, host Rachael Chadwick Harrison is joined by her fellow director and husband Chris, to count down the top 10 things they wish every new business owner knew, drawn from years of working directly with hundreds of clients at Chadwick Accountants. No "believe in yourself" fluff, just contracts, cash flow, realistic forecasting, the first hire that can make or break you, and the number one tip they agreed on before they'd even compared notes: hire a great accountant, ideally before you incorporate. Rachael also shares a first look at her upcoming book, The Black Book, out in October.
