Is it imposter syndrome...
Or are you actually an imposter?
Stop the spiral. Learn the skill. Build the business.
Pop quiz!
You know what attracts bookkeeping clients better than curating content to sound like an expert?
Actually being one.
Most bookkeepers never crack the code on time and financial freedom
They’re stuck spinning their wheels on messy clients, outdated software, and inefficient systems — QBO is sooo last decade!
I did it differently.
I mastered the skill first, prioritized ease and efficiency without sacrificing accuracy, and built a business with solid systems.
That’s how I grew my bookkeeping business to consistent $20k+ months — while still having the time to teach other bookkeepers my secrets and raise my three kids.
You don’t need more sales hacks

A profitable bookkeeping business starts with mastering the skill
In Become a Bookkeeper, I teach what everyone else skips: the skill.
This program isn't about marketing tactics or sales strategies.
It’s about busting impostor syndrome and mastering the core expertise every successful bookkeeping business is built upon:
Delivering accurate, efficient, exceptional service.
The best marketing strategy is being really good at what you do
Bookkeeping isn’t something you can afford to “learn as you go” or “fake it til you make it.”
Clients depend on you to keep their financials clean, compliant, and decision-ready. And before clients can trust you, you have to trust yourself.
Confidence isn’t optional. It's essential.
It’s what makes everything else possible and the key to consistently attracting clients.
Become a Bookkeeper™ gives you:
Knowledge
To adapt to any client situation
Accuracy
So your clients' books are reliable and compliant
Efficiency
To serve more clients without working more hours
Confidence
To own your expertise and show up as a trusted pro
No marketing tactic is more powerful than
becoming the bookkeeper clients trust, refer, and rely on
Become a Bookkeeper™ equips you with the skills and experience to make that your reality
The Become a Bookkeeper™ framework
This program teaches you the ins and outs of bookkeeping for service-based solopreneurs using my go-to software, Xero. It’s designed for simplicity, results, and scalability, and built on the same processes that fueled my fully-booked bookkeeping business.

“You get to see from start to finish how onboarding and actually doing the books for a client would look, and I needed that!”

Our accounting software of choice: Xero
Become a Bookkeeper™ uses Xero to demonstrate everything you’ll learn. The goal? To get you working efficiently — not to overwhelm you by covering multiple platforms.
This program teaches core bookkeeping skills that apply to any software. Once you master the fundamentals, you can easily adapt to different platforms.
That said, one software is truly all you need.
My fully booked bookkeeping business runs on one software, one type of client, and one service.
Bookkeeping can be as simple as you allow it to be. Become a Bookkeeper™ shows you how I keep things uncomplicated, efficient and scalable.

Hi, I’m Katie
CPA, corporate escapee, and mom of three little ones
I built my bookkeeping business to surpass my corporate tax manager salary — and I did it while working only the hours I used to spend commuting.
Now, I maintain my bookkeeping business while helping bookkeepers build businesses that support their lives instead of keeping them from living it.
A profitable, flexible bookkeeping business starts with mastering the skill. When you deliver an accurate, ethical, and efficient service, clients trust you, stay with you, and refer you — and that’s the best marketing strategy there is.
I created Become a Bookkeeper™ to give you the technical skills, real-world application, and hands-on experience you need to serve clients with confidence — and while at it, grow a successful business on your terms.
Over 300+ bookkeepers have been through this program.
