Why now is the PERFECT time for bookkeepers to serve small online businesses.
Does Coronavirus sound familiar to anyone?
Given the impact and changes of this pandemic over the last year, it’s NO secret that businesses are shifting online NOW more than EVER before.
There is a massive shift happening online and it's pretty hard to ignore that fact.
Yes, traditional stores may be suffering but this is not the case for every business. Online businesses that already existed prior to covid are THRIVING...like crazy.
FACT: Online is the future.
I've watched my clients go from nothing to everything with their online businesses in the midst of COVID-19. Keep in mind, most of my clients are in their 20’s or 30’s, so they're young business owners. They're good at making money... but they're not always the best at handling it.
You know what that means?
It means they need our help, want our help, and will pay for our help.
People in online businesses don't want to handle their money, they want to enjoy their life and know that it's handled.
Why I love working with online businesses.
They're easy to reach, they hang out together, and they will naturally refer you to more ideal clients.
They’re also similar in structure so it's easy and gives you a repeatable process.
When you develop a relationship with small online business owners, they'll continue working with you.
Example: Brittney Lippert is a client of mine who has been in her business for four years. In the last two weeks of working with me, she says it's the most empowered she's ever felt and she can't wait to continue working with me.
The point of this story is that she's not going anywhere. She can now look at her bank account with ease and know that her business is going to be successful.
It's not just me who can make people feel this way. You can do it too!

Bookkeeping is supposed to be fun! There's value in it and people are always going to need it. It's honestly one of the most secure businesses around.
