Go Cardless – simple, safe and digital way of paying by direct debit

At M:Power Accounting we constantly strive to find software and app’s that will improve the service that we can give you; data back-up for Xero accounts, a fully supported IT server and Auto Entry for managing your receipts (please see previous blogs if you’re interested in any of these services). Well, this time, unashamedly, we are introducing a new service that will improve the way that you can pay us!

Go Cardless is a simple, safe and digital way of paying by direct debit. It can all be done online so no need to fill out and post bank paper forms and it comes with all the safeguards that the direct debit system demands. The funds can be collected on the due date of your invoice or on your preferred date within the month, you just need to let us know your preference.

Switching to Direct Debit will save you the hassle of manually paying each month. Even if you are paying a fixed amount by standing order sometimes invoices may differ from month to month; by using Go Cardless the amount on the invoice will be taken and you won’t need to remember to change the standing order or make an additional payment. You’ll be notified of any upcoming payments, and you can cancel them whenever you want. What’s more, the Direct Debit Guarantee makes this the safest way to pay. To see more about Go Cardless please use this link to their website:

I will email the web link for setting up a direct debit to clients by separate copy but if you do have any questions or would like to know more about this service please don’t hesitate to contact us.

R is for Reward

The finish line isn't just a destination. It's proof of everything you put in to get there. “Nothing feels so good as when you've succeeded at something you set out to do.” We made it. Seven letters, seven posts, and one very important journey. If you've been following this series from the beginning, you'll know that back in January we started with a goal — a triathlon in July. And as I write this, sitting in the garden with an iced coffee and a medal around my neck, I can tell you: it happened.  R is for Reward. And it might just be my favourite letter of the lot.

E is for Evaluate

Setting a goal is just the beginning. What keeps it alive — and keeps you moving towards it — is what you do in between. “Evaluating what you're doing is so important. What worked, what didn't, what can I do better?” We're six letters into the SMARTER framework now. We've covered Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. Today we reach E for Evaluate — and I'll be honest with you, I think this might be the most important letter of the lot.

T is for Time-Bound

by Paula Veysey-Smith • 26 June 2026
A goal without a deadline is just a wish with good intentions. Here's why putting a date on it changes everything. “Having that end date is something that gives you the enthusiasm, the commitment, and the motivation to continue.” We're now on T in the SMARTER Goals series - and this one is beautifully simple. T stands for Time-Bound, or Targets. It means giving your goal an end date.

R is for Relevant

by Paula Veysey-Smith • 26 June 2026
Short-term goals are more powerful when they're built towards something bigger. Here’s why relevance is what keeps you going when motivation dips. “Goals that are shorter term in nature, but built to a bigger vision, are the most motivating that you can get” So far in this series we've looked at S for Specific, M for Measurable, and A for Achievable. Now we come to R for Relevant -- and this one is about making sure your goals are connected to something that genuinely matters to you.
