Welcome to September’s edition of Designated Digest. With Summer coming to an end it has been great to enjoy some amazing weather before the final quarter of the year begins.

This month we are looking at the importance of understanding your customer journey and how it is essential for ensuring your business thrives.

We have also delved into the world of strategic business reviews, looking at how to build on your strengths, get all your team onboard and pinpoint weaknesses so you can adjust all aspects of your company to reach your business goals.

Finally, we have looked to distinguish the difference between accounting and bookkeeping to make it easier for you to decide what elements your business needs.
