 Today we're going to be talking about the dangers of bad bookkeeping…and why it’s so important to have a good one. Or to have one at all, period.
These ten things are why I always laugh when someone talks about AI replacing bookkeepers, because…it just can’t. AI just isn’...

I'm going to be honest: I’m a little nervous to talk about this subject, which is not like me.
I’m not surprised; it’s a hard conversation, and a sensitive one, and I think I care a little too much about it to come off as casual.

News flash: CPAs think bookkeepers are dumb.
I could put it more kindly, but there’s really no point. It’s just the truth: CPAs just think bookkeepers are a bit stupid. Even qualified bookkeepers.
Now, I've been on both sides of this. I’ve been the CPA, and I’ve been the ...

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 to be the most hands-on, because it...
