Balance in Bloom Bookkeeping

07/26/2025

I’ve been quiet on this page for a while.

Not because I disappeared — but because I was healing, rebalancing, and returning to myself.

In the past year, I’ve leaned into the quiet moments.
I found joy in my garden.
I said yes to softness.
I redefined success not as hustle, but as wholeness.

Now, I’m feeling ready to share again — from a more grounded, authentic place.

🌿 Yes, I’m still offering small business bookkeeping.
✨ And yes, I have space to take on two new aligned clients — entrepreneurs who value clarity, ease, and energetic balance in their business.

If that sounds like you (or someone you know), I’d love to connect.

And if you’re just here to be part of the journey, welcome.
There’s more to come — business, balance, and blooming in every form.

The story of Sales vs. Profit, and the Bookkeeper

Sales and profit - they might seem like two peas in a pod, but they're actually quite distinct. It's crucial to grasp their dissimilarity to steer your business successfully.

📈 Sales represent the total revenue generated from your goods or services. It's the money coming in, often quite visible and straightforward, like the cash register at a store. But remember, high sales don't always equate to a flourishing business if expenses outweigh your income.

💰 Profit, on the other hand, is what remains after all expenses have been subtracted from your sales. It's the real measure of success and sustainability. Think of it as the money that ends up in your pocket. Profit indicates your business's financial health, its ability to grow, invest, and weather economic storms.

Now, here's where a skilled bookkeeper becomes your invaluable ally. A bookkeeper meticulously tracks and manages your financial data, ensuring every sale and expense is accounted for. They offer insights into your cash flow, help identify areas where you can cut costs, and work to maximize your profits.

In a nutshell, sales are the top line, the raw income, while profit is the bottom line, the actual gain. Knowing the difference is key to making informed financial decisions, setting realistic goals, and ultimately steering your business toward a prosperous future.

So, whether you're a business owner, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a curious soul, remember that both sales and profit play vital roles in the financial journey. And a dedicated bookkeeper is your co-pilot, guiding you through these financial intricacies to ensure your business thrives. 📊👔 📚💼

Simplifying the Bookkeeping Cycle: Finding Financial Clarity and Balance 📊

Let's talk about full cycle bookkeeping, a monthly routine that's like finding balance in the financial world. Here are the 4 main steps, simplified:

1️⃣ **Recording Transactions:** The ins and outs of your money – sales, bills, and more. It's your financial diary, just like keeping track of life's daily moments.

2️⃣ **Reconciliation:** This step is all about making sure what's in your account matches what's on your records. Think of it as keeping your chequebook in sync with your bank statement.

3️⃣ **Financial Reports:** Picture this as your financial highlight reel. Your bookkeeper puts together the critical numbers, so you can see how your finances are performing, like your life's greatest hits.

4️⃣ **Adjustments:** Sometimes, you need to tweak a few things. It's like rearranging the furniture at home – small changes to keep everything comfy and cozy.

Let's be honest - there are a lot of bookkeepers out there and countless ways to do your books yourself.

So why should you hire me? And more importantly, how will you and your business benefit from working with me?

First things first - I have 12 years of B2B customer support experience. From large multi location chains, to community centers, to the local corner store - I've been helping companies of all sizes keep their operations running smoothly for the majority of my career.

More than 7 years of this experience was in a leadership role. I'm used to asking questions and getting to the root of a problem, as well as being the ultimate solution finder.

I've spent the last 5 years elbow deep in financial support including account reconciliation, revenue, receivables and deferred revenue management and reporting. I know how important and critical all these pieces are.

Now the good stuff - how does this benefit you? Working with me means that you have the peace of mind that comes with working with someone who understands how critical your business needs are, and how big the impact is if anything is done incorrectly. Someone with top tier communication and a keen attention to detail.

All this adds up to your books done properly, efficiently and with you in the loop - always.

Now take that peace of mind, that extra balance, along with clarity of your business's financial health and go chase down your next goal. Or maybe book a trip to Mexico. , right?

This brand shoot has been a brain child of mine for a good while. As I'm sure you've guessed, gardening and flowers are so important to me. With some patience and the right timing, we made some magic happen at Five Acres Flower Farm

This place is like heaven on earth and if you get the chance - check out their offerings. Not only are the flowers incredible, the owners are the most welcoming, wonderful people around.
