The spreadsheets you are using to track your income and expenses can't keep up with your growing business.

You don't know how to create financial statements for your business or how to use reports to help with business decisions.
Or you have yet to make your first sale, but have accumulated several business expenses and want to create proper processes for tracking them.

What if there was a way to build your business and learn proper bookkeeping processes without spending hundreds a month on outside bookkeeping services?
You might be wondering...
Why can't I just wing it until I can hire a full time accountant?

Can't I just focus on my business and figure out the numbers later?
I'm tracking my transactions in a spreadsheet, is that good enough?

Frequently Asked Questions:
How long will I have access to this course?
You will have access to this course forever! You will be able to access it on any and all devices for an unlimited amount of time.
Why aren't there any lessons on taxes?
Taxes are a bit more complicated to provide a comprehensive lesson on that applies to all students. I am not certified in every state to be able to provide tax advice to everyone who purchases this course. Also, depending on your business legal type, personal financial goals, and numerous other reasons, tax advice can really differ dramatically. Any taxes discussed in this course are high level best practices to prepare for tax filings, so it is important to work with a licensed tax accountant.
Should I purchase this course if I sell products and do not provide services?
I focus my course on how to account for service based businesses, but there are so many topics discussed in this course that would benefit anyone with an online business. The main topic that is not covered that you would be missing out on is how to integrate your point of sale system with QuickBooks to record income. I would be happy to work with you 1-on-1 to get this set up properly.
What if I want a refund?
Due to the digital nature of this course, I do not offer refunds. Please be sure to review the course curriculum and message me (email: [email protected]) with any specific questions to make sure that this course is the right fit for you and your business before you purchase!
What countries does this apply to?
I am only educated on how to account for businesses located in the U.S. and am not sure what requirements are necessary for anyone outside of the U.S.
