Welcome to the very first episode of Behind the Books.

In this intro episode, Kenn and Sandi turn the mic on themselves. While neither of them are Bookkeepers, they work closely alongside the profession through NZQBA – supporting, connecting, and championing the people behind the numbers.

They share why they started the podcast, what they’ve seen behind the scenes of the bookkeeping industry, and why community matters more than ever. You’ll also get a glimpse into their working dynamic, what drives them, and the kind of conversations you can expect in future episodes.

This podcast is about real people, real stories, and the reality of running and supporting small businesses – without the jargon.

In this episode:

• Why Behind the Books exists
• What Kenn and Sandi see from working alongside Bookkeepers
• The role of community in a profession that can feel isolating
• A behind-the-scenes look at how they work (and keep things fun)

Whether you’re a Bookkeeper, business owner, or just curious about the people behind the work – this is your starting point.
