Tools & Resources Recommended by Paul Sweeney

Resources

I’m often asked what tools I’d recommend to other business owners, accountants, and content creators, and over the years, I’ve discovered a range of resources that have been particularly helpful in launching and growing my advisory and accounting practice, Pretium Solutions. After years of testing and reviewing apps and tools, I’ve put together a list of my preferred options, organized into categories to make it easier to find exactly what you need. At the top of the list is my podcast, The Business Behind Your Business. With over 200 episodes, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing experienced business owners and experts from around the world, sharing insights, practical advice, and tools that business owners can use to grow and manage their businesses more effectively. Beyond the resources and guidance, the podcast has also opened up a community and a world of information, connecting listeners to ideas, experiences, and networks that make running a business a little less isolating.
