  • Shopping for a bookkeeping course is ten times harder than back-to-school shopping. And having just done that for three kids, trust me…I know what I’m talking about.

    When you’re shopping around for the best bookkeeping course for you and your needs, a simple Google search isn’t going to cut it. There’s so many options out there, all of them teach different things and are taught by different people…and none of them are one-size-fits-all.

    So today, I want to give you a “shopping list” to make things just a little easier. Let’s go over everything you need to look for in a bookkeeping course!

  • When you break it down to the essentials, there are only two things you need in order to start a bookkeeping business:

    The technical skills to do the work, and

    The ability to turn those skills into a business.

    The second, most people understand. But the first…that one can be trickier.

    A lot of people believe bookkeeping is one of those “fake-it-til-you-make-it” skills. But if there’s one thing you take away from this podcast, let it be this…

    It is not.

    You cannot fake your way through bookkeeping…not ethically, anyway. And if you are running your bookkeeping business while doing a bad job of the books, i can sincerely, honestly tell you that I hope you get caught quickly.

    You can truly hurt people if you try to do this work without a good grasp on your skills…which is why I created something to make sure bookkeepers get the help they need to make sure those skills are on point. Let’s talk about BABs.

  • Once upon a time, I was a bookkeeping biz beginner too…

    And while I’m incredibly proud of the way I built my business, I did make a misstep or two along the way.

    (Actually, I made six.)

    I don’t have any regrets, but there are six things that would have smoothed out + sped up the process if I’d done them differently. And if I’m going to teach you how to start your own bookkeeping business…why wouldn’t I teach you how to do it smoother and faster?

    So without further ado, here are six things to AVOID doing when you start your bookkeeping business!

  • If you’ve been wondering, “What is the best time to start a bookkeeping business, anyway?” then I have some bad news:

    You’ve already missed it.

    But don’t panic! You haven’t lost your only chance—in fact, no matter when you’re listening to this, you still have the chance to take advantage of the SECOND-BEST time to start a bookkeeping business.

    And if you don’t know what that time is, I have much better news for you: I’m going to tell you in today’s Best of Profits + Prosecco trip down memory lane.

  • This week, we’re going to kick off a mini-series revisiting the best of the best on the Profits + Prosecco podcast…starting with the ultimate guide to starting a bookkeeping business!

    Starting a business is no easy feat. There are a lot of steps you need to knock out—some you probably don’t even know about. It would be so much easier if someone who’s done it before would just hand you a nice, simple to-do list you could check off step by step, right?

    Well, I happen to agree. So without further ado, here is a list of nineteen things you need to have or do before starting your bookkeeping business…including some things I DIDN’T do that I WISH I’d done when I was first starting out.

    Hindsight is 20/20. So if you hit all nineteen points on this list, good news…you’ll already be starting off in a better place than I did!

  • If you’re on the fence about joining LIBBY, or wondering what exactly it has to offer…you’ve come to the right place. I’m so thrilled to welcome Kristina Hind, current LIBBY member, onto the podcast today!

    Kristina is a licensed CPA and graduated with a Master’s in Taxation. She started her career by following the path that was suggested in college, but felt unfulfilled and just wanted more. (Sound familiar?) So at the end of 2020, she decided to quit her 9-5. Some time later, she discovered this podcast, realized how similar our stories were, and pivoted to bookkeeping! After going through BABs, she moved on to LIBBY and remains an active member.

    Not everyone is able to attend the live components of LIBBY. Some people use certain components more than others. But no matter how you utilize LIBBY, every single facet of the program is packed with value…and Kristina’s journey is a great example!

  • I am so excited to welcome Lis Lee—former BABs student, former corporate accountant, and current Tech Talks subscriber—onto the podcast to chat about the value of Tech Talks!

    Even experienced bookkeepers have questions and uncertainties pop up in their work. Every client is different, and even though many processes are mostly repeatable, unique situations will come up. And when you encounter them, having a space where you can go to ask questions is absolutely game-changing.

    Lis is living proof that Tech Talks can save you time, stress, and uncertainty. So if you’ve been considering signing up, but you’re still on the fence…this might just be the push you need!

  • Today’s episode is going to be a little different.

    It’s short and sweet…but you’re going to want to bookmark it. Because it’s designed for you to come back and listen to as many times as needed.

    This is for you: the aspiring bookkeeper with ambitions to start your own business, but you’re unsure if you can tackle the complexities of being an entrepreneur. The stay-at-home mom looking for a way to make money and be financially stable without sacrificing her time with her kids who’s afraid that starting a business might steal even MORE of her time. The corporate escapee desperate to make an escape plan who doesn’t believe they can make enough money to replace their current salary.

    Whoever you are, if you’re listening to this…this pep talk is specifically for you. You were meant to hear it. And I want you to listen to it as many times as you need to before it finally gives you the kick in the pants you need to step into what you are meant to do.

  • So, we’ve gone over different types of failure that we worry about as aspiring bookkeepers, the worst-case scenario outcome of these fears…and what comes next for us.

    But as we went over the “Now what?” solutions to the worst-case scenarios, I couldn’t help but notice something interesting: most of the solutions we identified can be achieved through something available in my product suite!

    If you haven’t listened to the last episode yet, go back and start there. Then come back to hear which of my programs will be the best fit for you depending on which fear or failure you’re struggling with!

  • “I want to start my own business, but…what if I fail?”

    That’s a very good question. What if you DO fail?

    The fear of failure is totally normal…and in many cases, it can be valid! Failure does happen. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that you absolutely won’t fail when you try something new…

    But I am going to tell you that failure isn’t the end.

    There is an “after” we often forget about when it comes to failure. We can’t see past all of our fears to realize that if we fail, there are things we can do to repair that.

    So how do we take away the power behind these fears? Let me show you how I do it…

  • To my fellow stay-at-home moms:

    If you’re in need of additional income, but absolutely can’t fathom the idea of going back to (or entering) corporate life…

    I understand, because I was there once, too.

    Once I’d tasted the stay-at-home mom life, I knew for a fact it would be impossible to go back to corporate life while still being the kind of mom I wanted to be…but I also knew I was going to need a source of income before long.

    So I poured myself wholeheartedly into growing my bookkeeping business…and after several years, I am more convinced than ever that bookkeeping is the absolute BEST business for stay-at-home moms to have.

    And once you see my list of incredible things a bookkeeping business can give you, you’ll be convinced, too.

  • My number one piece of advice for those thinking about starting or scaling their bookkeeping business:

    Do. Not. Wait.

    There is no perfect time coming, no matter how long you wait for it. You know how I know?

    Because I’m living in what many, many people would probably consider the “best” time to start a business.

    All my kids are in school. I’m at home. I have five hours away from them every day. This is the first time since I started having kids that I haven’t had one of them home with me all the time…

    And it’s still hard.

    It’s hard to do the laundry. It’s hard to do the dishes. It’s hard to fit in a walk. It’s hard to work on the projects I have on my plate.

    The challenges haven’t gone away…they’re just different. And if you don’t believe me, that’s okay: I’m also here today to give you the rundown of what the school year looked like for me as a bookkeeper and a mom. And I promise you, it’s going to prove exactly why there is no “perfect” time coming.

    But that doesn’t mean you can’t begin.

  • Bookkeeping can sometimes be a discouraging field to work in…especially when you see large corporations offering “bookkeeping” (it’s not the same thing) for much cheaper than we as individuals can offer it.

    My good friend Misa Bacon and I were discussing this via DM, but it’s such an important conversation to have that I wanted to bring it onto the podcast!

    If you aren’t familiar with Misa, she is the Founder and CEO of Perfectly Kept Books® and your go-to for bookkeeping and QuickBooks Pro. She empowers women entrepreneurs to conquer their financial anxieties, and she’s here today to give you some powerful encouragement.

    It can be easy to feel undervalued or underappreciated. But as my fantastic guest said this week, there is actually a massive shortage of good bookkeepers out there…and a huge demand for good bookkeeping.

    You are needed. And the people who need you WILL find you…even if you feel like you can’t compete.

  • Some of you may have heard me talk about CFO services in the past, and you might be wondering…

    “What is a CFO, exactly? What do they do?”

    Or, if you’re a bookkeeper familiar with what a CFO is, you might be wondering how YOU could begin offering those services, too.

    Whether you’re an aspiring CFO yourself or a total newbie, this week’s episode is going to open up a world of possibilities for you…because I’ve invited Adam Lean, co-founder of The CFO Project, to come on and chat with me about all things CFO advising!

    Adam Lean is a former accountant turned two-time entrepreneur who has built, scaled, and sold two businesses. He currently runs The CFO Project: a training company that trains financial professionals on how to offer an outsourced CFO and business advisory service. (And yes, that includes bookkeepers!)

  • If there’s one thing I want you to take away from today’s episode, it’s this:

    Your worth is not your work.

    I’ve talked before about how, as accountants, we tend to glorify hard work. We compete to see who can work the most hours, who can miss the most school events, who can eat the most lunches at their desks…

    All because we think working hard is what makes us worthy.

    Well, I’ve finally unlearned this definition of self-worth…but it wasn’t easy, and it took a long time. So today, I want to help you get started on your own deprogramming with the return of my good friend to the podcast: ChatGPT.

    We’re going to go over WHY you’ve attached your self-worth so inextricably to your work, how to shift that in a healthy way, and I’m going to give you a couple journal prompts to get you started.

    It’s not an easy change, but it is a necessary one…and it starts today.

  • If you’ve been listening to me talk about Kajabi, have been wanting to get it, but it’s just too expensive to justify when you’re first starting out…

    I have some amazing news.

    Kajabi has just come out with a brand-new tier called the “Kickstarter” plan…for only $69 a month.

    I’m on the Basic plan, which costs $149 per month—and for me, that plan is worth its weight in gold. So for them to be offering a new tier just below it at $69 is insanely cheap.

    Almost too cheap.

    They haven’t said this plan is only sticking around for a short while, but I can’t help but think it might not be long before it disappears. So if you’ve been considering Kajabi, I strongly advise you take that leap NOW…because even if this plan does go away, you’ll get grandfathered in as long as you remain subscribed to it.

    This is one of the most exciting opportunities I’ve seen for new business owners trying to build their website and automations in some time. In fact, I’m so excited that if you use my link to sign up for your trial of this plan, I’ll throw in some pretty amazing bonuses…

  • By now, we all know what I believe about time: it is your most valuable resource. And, in a lot of ways, the saying “time is money” is LITERALLY true. So when you save time, you save money…

    But you’ve got your hands full, and there aren’t any balls you can drop. So how can you increase your profits by saving your time?

    The answer is automation—and the tool is Kajabi.

    I’ve raved about Kajabi before, and for good reason—it is THE ultimate software for building out your website and creating automations to free yourself up from tasks you really don’t need to be doing manually.

    If you aren’t familiar with the platform—or you looked into it, but found all the options overwhelming—today’s episode is for you. My wonderful friend Katie Fleming is here to ask me about all things automation using the Kajabi platform, and I am so excited to share all the ways this software has made it possible for my business to function the way it does today.

  • It has been a minute since I had a GUEST on the podcast…

    It’s time to rectify that, don’t you think?

    I am so thrilled to welcome Christy Steinman, CPA and LIBBY student, onto the podcast to share about her journey from corporate to quitter’s club to full-time bookkeeping business!

    Christy’s path started out much like mine…college, accounting, etc. But some of the twists and turns her journey took afterward are TRULY fascinating, and I can’t wait for you all to hear just how many different paths can bring you to the bookkeeping biz of your dreams.

    This might not be the easiest road, but it is absolutely possible…and it is a lot easier with the LIBBY resources and community to guide you along the way.

  • For most of 2024, I’ve been sharing about Become a Bookkeeper, my program set up to help teach people the practical skills of bookkeeping.

    But some of you might be wondering…what do you do if you already HAVE those skills—you just don’t know how to turn them into a business?

    Enter Life By The Books, aka LIBBY!

    LIBBY is the program I created for people who are already skilled in bookkeeping, but need some support to take those skills and build a sustainable, life-honoring business on top of them. Inside LIBBY, you’ll find a framework to follow, a community to turn to for support and answers, and so much more…

    And to give you a sneak peek into what being part of LIBBY is like, I’m sharing a special treat with you on today’s episode: a message I sent out exclusively to the Life By The Books community, never-before-heard outside that program!
