Scaling with Organizational "Pod" Structures with Sue De Bievre

SHEEO podcast episode with Sue de Bievre playing on Spotify

Beany is changing the accounting industry by offering flat-fee, online accounting services to small businesses. And it’s not just what they do that’s innovative, but how they do it. CEO Sue De Bievre built a self-managed “pod” structure, that offers employees flexible, autonomous working arrangements that also allows the business to scale.​

“I’ve worked in a lot of accounting practices and they always look the same. They always have a bunch of offices on the sunny side of the building, nice big prestigious offices. And then on the dark side of the building, there’s cubicles filled with women and it doesn’t matter how good those women are, to transition to the sunny side of the building is hard.”​

In this episode:​

  • Sue’s entrepreneurial journey from bungee jumping to online accounting
  • How Beany uses a self-managed pod structure to organize teams and scale quickly
  • Using numbers to create a “shape” for your business
