Hello, my friends. Today, I want to talk about when things don’t go to plan.

Life has given me a masterclass on this for the past month. I have once again been reminded of the importance of learning how to prepare to be unprepared. What does this look like in my...

All right, friends. Today, we're talking all about workshops. There are seven total on-demand bookkeeping and business workshops available on my website for purchase—let’s walk through what they are!

Today’s topic is as simple as four words:

What do you want?

Today, I want to talk about why a bookkeeping certification is not enough to actually prepare you to become a bookkeeper and start your bookkeeping business.

A common question that I get asked is, “Should I be certified in QuickBooks Online or Xero?” And the...

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m going to talk to you about what to do when you don't know what to do.

This is a huge fear that people have, especially in the beginning; but the more you flex this new muscle, the better you’ll be able to navigate what can be an...

Did you read that title and go, “Um, no way?” Yeah, I don’t blame you. But it’s true—it’s absolutely possible to give yourself a six-figure salary with a bookkeeping business.

You can make $10,000 per month in profit with your...

Happy November, friends!

That’s insane to see, right? I can’t believe it’s almost the end of the year!

As bookkeepers, the end of the year can be a busy time—in fact, it’s the busiest time for me. It’s the part of the year when I have...

Hello, friends. Today, we’re taking a brief detour from BABs and Best Ofs: I’m thrilled to introduce Mary Ellen, who’s here to discuss her journey from corporate to running her own bookkeeping business, and how LIBBY (Life by the Books) helped her get...

People often think that bookkeeping can't be taught, or that you already need to have the skill…but that’s not true. Bookkeeping can be taught.

However, it’s not for everyone.

If you’re unsure whether it’s for you, I’m going to help...

Hello, friends! Today, I have the beautiful Lisa with me. Lisa is a former Become a Bookkeeper student, and she’s here to share a bite-sized look at her experience in the program.

If you’ve been following along recently, you’ve probably heard that Become a Bookkeeper—my program that teaches you the technical skills of bookkeeping such as accounting, tax basics, etcetera—is getting a pretty amazing revamp.

We’re working...

It’s a common perception that bookkeeping is a get-rich-quick scheme with an immediate return on investment, specially because so many people only see the end result of what actually can be a long process.

As much as I do believe that bookkeeping can be simple and...

If you are not a planner, today’s discussion is for you. I’ve invited the incredible Megan Sumrell to come here and chat about planning, why you need to make plans, and how she can help you create and implement an annual plan!

Hi, friends!

I’m just popping in to give a quick update on how things are going with the Become a Bookkeeper revamp…and explain why you haven’t seen a launch date appear yet.

In case you aren’t familiar, Become a Bookkeeper is my self-paced...

Today we're talking about perfectionism.

Raise your hand if you have identified as a perfectionist. Now keep your hand up if you’ve always thought that this was a good quality.

If your perfectionism is something that you’ve been proud of—something that...

Today, we're going to be talking about what to look for when you're shopping around for the best bookkeeping course for you.

This was actually something that I put on my Instagram feed (with a really great caption, if I do say so myself), but I wanted to deepen what the...

I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. I’ll say it every single day if I have to: the most important thing you need to know before starting a bookkeeping business is that your skills are up to par.

But why? Why do your skills have to be so well-honed?...

Today, we're going to be talking about regrets.

Just kidding. They're not really regrets, but I do want to talk about some of the things that I would do differently if I was to start a bookkeeping business all over again.

If you could wave a magic wand and bring me back...

Today, I want to revisit a very good question someone asked me a while back:

“When is the best time to start a bookkeeping business?”

This was a question that I got in my email as somebody was applying for my program BABs, which teaches the technical skill of...

Full disclosure: I’ve talked about this some before. So if some of the advice looks a little familiar, that’s why…but I think we’re overdue for repeating the basics, don’t you?

When looking at starting a bookkeeping business, it’s easy...

I am so excited to have Erin of Bear Financial Solutions on to talk about a new opportunity she has for a bookkeeping mom out there—especially if they’re a BABs grad!

Erin came to me a short while ago looking for a recommendation for a bookkeeper to join her...

If you’ve been thinking about starting a bookkeeping business, discovered my program LIBBY, and have been thinking, “Wow, this seems amazing…but would I actually use all of these tools? Are they going to have value for me?” then I have good...

Today, I am thrilled to welcome Lis Lee to join me for a discussion about all things Tech Talks!

Lis is a former corporate accountant, former BABs student, and owner of her own bookkeeping business…but she still attends Tech Talks.

No matter how far along (or how...
