Hey ambitious bookkeepers! In this episode, I'm getting real about my "accidental" start in accounting and why NOW is always the best time to start your bookkeeping business. I'm sharing my journey from elementary education major to single mom working at a health food co-op, all the way to building my own virtual bookkeeping firm while raising kids. Spoiler alert: success doesn't require a perfect plan!

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • How I got into accounting
  • The exact steps I took to transition from corporate controller to freelance bookkeeper
  • Lessons I learned the hard way so you don’t have to
  • and much more!
