She Owed $8200 She Didn't Have - A Bookkeeper's Tale

Angela thought hiring a bookkeeper was something she’d “do later, when her business got bigger.”
She ran a boutique personal branding studio and kept her invoices and expenses in a tidy Google Drive folder. She told herself she was organized, resourceful, and “doing just fine for now.”

Until it was tax time and her accountant told her that her information was not accurate. Receipts were missing. Contractors didn't have their 1099s. One client hadn’t been invoiced in two months yet showed as paid. And worst of all? She owed $8,200 in taxes she hadn’t set aside.

Angela was frustrated and shocked. She came to the realization that she’d been trying to DIY something that wasn’t in her lane.

A bookkeeper isn’t a luxury. It’s a life jacket in the sea of entrepreneurship chaos. Especially when the waves of tax time hit.

Angela hired us as her bookkeeper, and we got her caught up in 30 days. Her accounts were categorized, her taxes prepped, and she finally had numbers she could trust. That trust gave her the confidence to raise her rates, budget for team support, and dream bigger with her vision.

Waiting until your business is bigger to hire a bookkeeper means you'll hire us in an emergency situation. You don’t have to be in the process of drowning to admit you need a lifeline. Let us be your life jacket.

Lub you,
