Jade shares:
- her experience with being stood down from her full-time job and starting a side hustle in the midst of a pandemic

What began from her living room during the global pandemic with the desire to offer a timeless, unfussy and minimal wardrobe, ALKAM has grown sustainably over the past two years to what it is today: a movement in which design, sustainability and price can co-exist harmoniously.

This week is Global Bookkeeping Week and we want to give a shout out to all of the bookkeepers who we believe are a business owner's best friend!
As a small business owner, you’re resourceful and take pride in getting things done yourself. When starting out, these are essential characteristics. But as your business grows, so does the ‘to-do’ list, with an ever-increasing number of tasks and responsibilities, including keeping your books up to date.
So, what is the true cost of doing the bookkeeping yourself? How many hours are you working on that each week? Don’t take your time for granted. Time is a valuable asset that you cannot replace or top up.
Despite what you might think, bookkeeping is actually one of the easier functions in business to delegate or outsource. So, let’s look at the 5 signs that it’s time you hired a bookkeeper in your business.
