Who is Catherine Tindall?
Catherine has always known that she wanted her daily work life to involve helping people. Though at first, she resisted being a tax practitioner, seeing as both her parents were already practicing. Yet they told her to give it a shot, and all of that lead to her CPA and current endeavors.
But she wasn’t going to settle into the traditional tax practitioner. She wanted to find out new ways to implement and streamline the process for both her and the clients.
“I basically have worked through different public accounting firms and started this firm a couple years ago, because I really wanted to shift the whole model around how tax work was being done.” – Catherine Tindall
This, coupled with their strong orientation towards technology made them consider automation, and how it can streamline the overall process of it.
Handling the Numbers
Jaime explains that as he and Sara were starting out, they were quite wary of accounting. Even now, as well-established as they could be, they are still looking for better ways to keep track of everything. So Jaime stresses that accounting and managing the numbers can be a harrowing part of the business, especially for those who are just starting out.
Catherine agrees to this, and adds that this is one of things that they discuss with clients right from the start.
“My orientation has always been: you have to build systems right, and find where the pain points are. You also find out where can we automate things and how we can fix this paint points.” – Catherine Tindall
Automating several aspects of work not only speeds up the process on most occasions, it also helps avoid human error in the most part, especially when dealing with a high volume of records and whatnot.
How to Eliminate Bottlenecks in Your Business
According to Catherine, there are other things besides automation that you can do to remove certain bottlenecks in your business. Catherine shares the old formula of Eliminate, Automate, and Delegate.
Eliminate means that if there are certain tasks that could be done by a third party or you can hire someone else to do it for you, it might be worth doing so to free your time. Delegate runs in the same vein as this, as you look for someone else in the team that can handle certain tasks for you. That way, you have more time to think about higher level stuff for your company, like new products or services, or improving existing ones.
