About

Do you want to have a blether about your business on my podcast? I can now call myself a podcast host! In addition to my work in accountancy, I now host Business Blethers—a podcast where I chat with inspiring entrepreneurs and business owners across the Highlands and Islands. It’s a relaxed and informal series that dives into the challenges, triumphs, and unique stories of running a business in the region. Through Business Blethers, I aim to shine a light on the incredible diversity of businesses here and share practical insights that resonate far beyond the Highlands. It’s been a joy to combine my love for storytelling and community building in this way. The Highlands is where it's done best! Feel free to connect if you’d like to collaborate, learn more about my work, or even share your own story on the podcast! I also run my accountancy business, Kennedy Accountancy. We won the 2024 Accounting Excellence Small Firm of the Year award for our region and also scooped the National Grand Prix award as well! If you find your business accounts and bookeeping totally overwhelming, are losing sleep over cashflow and want your accounts explained in plain English then we can help. That's what we do best.
