The scariest sentences I've heard from small business owners.

“I don't reconcile, but my bank's connected.” “Everyone starts as a contractor.” “My coach said I can take it all as distributions.”

Don't be next on my scariest sentences I've heard list...

Contractor or employee? Getting it wrong can cost way more than the few minutes you saved.

A GOOD tax change? I'll take it 🥳

For payments made in 2026, the 1099-NEC threshold went from $600 to $2,000. Paid a contractor less than $2,000 this year? You may not need to issue them a 1099.

But keep collecting W-9s and tracking what you pay each contractor. You won't know who crosses $2,000 until December's done.

Fewer January scrambles for a $650 1099? Yes, please.

And by haunting you, I mean it could make an audit a REAL nightmare!

The good news? When you hire me, it's my job to stay on top of reconciling your accounts every month!

Five minutes in the drive-thru waiting on your PSL? That's enough time to get ahead on your books ☕

Invoice last week's work. Categorize the uncategorized. Upload receipts. All from your phone.

One client does this in the school pickup line and hasn't felt Sunday-night book dread since.

Consider your bookkeeping GHOSTED if:

👻 You haven't categorized your transactions from the past few months

👻 Your accounts haven't been reconciled in a while

👻 You can't remember the last time you ran up-to-date financial reports

Let me get things caught up for you!

Happy National Boss's Day to every woman signing her own paychecks.

It's not always glamorous (hi, cold coffee and a full inbox), but the perks are real:
✔️ approving my own PTO
✔️ parting ways with clients who aren't a fit
✔️ having the final say with anything and everything

After years of asking permission for everything, getting to be the one who decides?

That's worth celebrating.

Swipe for my favorites, then tell me yours! 🤎

YES! And here's why:

Every business expense (regardless of the payment method) needs to be recorded on your books.

If you don't let your bookkeeper know, you're automatically going to miss out on the tax deduction you would've had for that expense!

Accurate expense tracking doesn't just help ensure you're saving on taxes, but it can also help you with budgeting and other key business decisions.

RIP to hourly bookkeeping 🪦

Whether your books take me ten hours or four, your bill stays the same. I scope the work up front, so there are no surprises.

One client used to save her questions for months so the billable call was “worth it.” You should never have to ration questions about your own business.

You're tired of tax deadlines. I'm tired of tax deadlines. Let's get through this one, then I'm hibernating until 1099 season 😴

Due October 15th: extended Form 1040s for individuals, and extended Form 1120s for calendar-year C corps.

One client called her extension “a pebble in my shoe for six months.” October 15th is the day you take it out!
