Recently someone asked me “What do you like about bookkeeping?”
I fell into bookkeeping by accident back in 1998. I studied Business Management in college but didn’t really have an end game in mind.
I was hired by a small company that owned multi-family homes and needed someone to help out the owner with paying bills and recording rent checks. I was lucky because not only did I get on the job, real world small business bookkeeping experience, the person that taught me the foundation of bookkeeping was incredibly knowledgeable about the fundamentals of bookkeeping and I learned some very important lessons in that first year of bookkeeping that stay with me even today.
Bookkeeping came natural to me. I’m a numbers person. I always kept track of every penny I earned and spent. Almost obsessively lol. I’m also very analytical and I compartmentalize everything. If that isn’t bookkeeping right there! But bookkeeping is so much more than keeping track of pennies. It’s a tool to measure the well-being of day to day life. You want your income to be more than your expenses. You want to have more assets than debt. It really is the heart of the life of your business. And I found I love nothing more than to be the person that is at the heart of a business and being the one who gives clear and accurate information so that a business can make decisions to not only stay healthy but also to thrive. For me bookkeeping is a calling- it’s where I can help support others run successful business.
