Build Your Dream Business With Become a Bookkeeper

for bookkeepers Apr 21, 2025

So…let me see if I can guess what you’re looking for.

You want freedom, but you need a foundation. You’re dreaming of a simple, flexible business, but you have to build it the right way. You don't want to hustle. You don't want to spend all day marketing. You don't want to be tied to your desk or miss your life or do complicated work that drains you.

You want space. You want time. You want flexibility, autonomy, and a steady income. You want a business that supports your life, not one that takes it over.

Bookkeeping is the business model that you've been looking for. Most online business advice tells you to go big, be loud, build a brand, make content, sell sell sell, grow a big audience, go viral, etc.

But you don't need to go viral to build a steady, flexible, profitable bookkeeping business. Bookkeeping can be quiet. It's stable, it's predictable. It goes on in perpetuity, month after month. It's needed in every economy, in every industry, in every season. You don't need hundreds of followers. You don't need to consistently be chasing a sale. You just need a handful of great clients and a solid system to serve them well.

That's what led you here. You've probably been circling the idea of bookkeeping. Maybe you've researched it; maybe you've researched it deeply. Maybe you've even taken a course or two. Heck, maybe you even have a client, but you haven't really committed yet because you're just not sure.

Your head is filled with doubts. Am I qualified? Can I really make this work? What if I mess something up?

So you stay stuck. You scroll, you watch, you wonder. You tell yourself, “Maybe later, when I'm ready.” The loudest gurus in the bookkeeping space keep telling you how easy it is to become a bookkeeper, but you're still afraid to take the leap. You’re just too afraid you’ll get it wrong.

I’ll tell you what they won’t: that fear, it isn't weakness. It’s a strong set of ethics, and that moral compass will make you a really successful bookkeeper one day.

It’s good that you care about doing it right…but what if the only thing standing between you and the business that you want is the solid foundation to build your skills on?

The Good…and the Better

If any of the above sounded familiar, great—then I’m talking to you today.

Here’s the good news: the gurus are right about a lot. You don't need to be a CPA to run a successful bookkeeping business. You don't need to have years of experience. You don’t even need a degree…

But you do need to be someone who's organized, detail-oriented, reliable, curious, motivated by simplicity and clarity over chaos, and deeply understands what they're doing.

If that all sounds like you except for deeply understanding what you're doing, then here’s the better news: you're more qualified than you think. You just need a roadmap that doesn't overwhelm you, skip the hard parts, or leave you guessing. You need skill, not fluff; practice, not pressure; clarity, not chaos. And that's what my program Become A Bookkeeper gives you.

What Does Become a Bookkeeper Do Differently?

The real reason that so many people start and then quit is that most people try to figure this out alone.

They take on clients before they feel ready. They jump from software to software. They Google everything. They get in over their heads with complex clients. And when something inevitably breaks or takes too long, they lose confidence and give up—not because they aren't capable, but because they never had a solid foundation to begin with, and that's what Become A Bookkeeper changes.

Become a Bookkeeper gives you the skills, the structure, and the practice to actually feel ready and be ready.

Inside Become A Bookkeeper, you'll learn the accounting and tax basics that you need to understand what's happening behind the software. (This is something that too many courses skip. Most jump you right into software or tell you to take a certification, but even when you do that, you're still missing the backend…even if you have an accounting degree or accounting experience!)

Through Become a Bookkeeper, these complicated and foreign concepts will be explained in a way that will finally make them click. Not only that, but it will also teach you how to use Xero, my software of choice.

Xero, if you’re not familiar, is a software that's modern, efficient, and designed for ease. Become a Bookkeeper will show you real workflows that show you exactly what to do and when. You’ll be able to practice with real client files, check your work, and learn how to spot errors, streamline your tasks, and work quickly without sacrificing accuracy.

Become a Bookkeeper isn't a quick fix; it's a long-term foundation. It's what you need to grow a steady, peaceful, profitable business from the ground up.
