As a creative business owner, there’s one thing that tends to be overlooked: your numbers. More specifically, your bookkeeping. While marketing your business, talking to clients and customers, and even networking is becoming second nature — keeping up with your bookkeeping is becoming increasingly exhausting. But, at the end of the day, when your books […]

Maybe you’ve never filed a 1099 before, or you have, but you’re still not 100% sure what you’re doing (or even why you’re doing it). With the end of the year coming quickly and tax season right around the corner, filing your 1099s isn’t exactly a task on your to-do list you want to skip. […]

First, your bookkeeper is likely not working on your bookkeeping every day—they take weekends, vacations, and days off, too.

If this sounds like you — or you have […]

It’s not unsurprising that hiring a bookkeeper can bring up those same feelings, and it can greatly impact […]

Let’s face it: bookkeeping isn’t exactly what you imagined doing when you launched your coaching business. Building a connected community and helping clients achieve transformations? Yes. Categorizing transactions? Not so much. But, no matter how boring, confusing, or time-consuming bookkeeping is, it’s necessary for all business owners — coaches included.  So, whether you’re dedicated to […]
