โ€œIt’s been quite life-changing for me, my business. I’ve got my space, my headspace, my heart space for the work I love doing.

INTRODUCTION

Compassion and business coming together

Nicola Turschwell is a professional counsellor and art therapist with over 20 years of experience. Working from her home studio, Nicola offers somatic therapy focusing on creativity to treat patients and clients.

โ€œI’m a counsellor and art therapist, and that means supporting people through self-awareness, through their hurt feelings and states of being, to find a place of peace for them. And often that’s through using art materials.โ€

Nicolaโ€™s approach to therapy is to provide a safe space for her clients, where they can find healing through their own sense of creative expression:

โ€œThe client experience when they come to my home and art therapy studio is that they are coming to my home. So they come through my kitchen. I usually make them a cup of tea. I aim to provide a safe and comfortable space.โ€

THE CHALLENGE

Admin hell and inflexibility

Nicola is an expert in her field, but when it came to admin, accounting, and bookkeeping, there was a disconnect.

โ€œ…I was just writing everything down, and it got really out of hand and messy quite quickly for me.

Nicola needed a system that would work for her business. It wasn’t just taking care of the admin and the finances, but also a system that would scale with taking work on the road. Nicola’s ideal software would be easy to use and travel-friendly.

OUR SOLUTION

So I found Reckon. It was so easy, and it’s all Australian.”

Reckon was a light bulb moment for Nicola. With our accounting software, she was able to track and keep on top of her finances with ease, and on the go.

โ€œFlexibility is the queen of the business. And so my dreams are to really travel more and take the training workshops wherever I am in Australia. So using Reckon with my business really suits my lifestyle.โ€
