I remember watching my dad work late in the evening every night. His eyes so intense at the dining room table under that little lamp we had. Every night, it was the same scene over and over again. What could he be working on?
The day he showed me was the end of my wondering. At that moment, I fell in love with numbers and what they could do.
Over the past 30 years, I've learned so much about bookkeeping—so much more than a school book could teach. I've learned that once you really get into it, it’s definitely not as scary as it seems. Even if you're not good with numbers, it can be easy. There are so many books, courses, and websites that explain bookkeeping in detail. All those details have a downside, though, because if you're not careful, you'll get overwhelmed.
There are plenty of preconceived notions about bookkeepers and what they do. I can tell you we don't have little pocket protectors or wear little rimmed glasses. What we do have in common is love for what we do.
And I’d love the opportunity to share this love of numbers with you so you can understand your books.
Whether you have your own business or are just keeping track of your personal finances, bookkeeping already exists in your life. So, why not get to know it a bit more? Why wouldn't you want to know what your own numbers tell you? And why pay a bookkeeper to do something as simple as inputting your deposits in a software?
When I started working in this industry, I never imagined how many people I would run into that didn't understand what I did for a living. They would always cringe when I mentioned I worked with numbers all day long.
"Why would you do that?" "Do you really like that?" "Oh no, I hate numbers.”
Once I defined bookkeeping in a way that would click, they'd always end up asking questions regarding their own finances. I’ve always tried to make it as easy as possible to understand and explain all aspects in detail.
Does bookkeeping really have to be hard? I say it doesn't! And with this toolkit, I’m going to show you how easy it is.
