There's a voice in your head that whispers: if you grow your business, you're growing your money mess too.
I'm here to teach you what you need to know to confidently "do" the financial and tax things in your business. You'll get monthly group calls with me and a DIY self-paced program. Think of me as the CPA in your corner – I'll be there when you need me.
It's time to step into your CEO shoes and finally get your finances organized.
Feeling freaked about your finances?
— Desiree R.
"This course was easily digestible and the templates 100% changed my life.This was one of the best investments I could have made. I feel so much more confident and empowered to handle my taxes and finances."
Just like the countless online business owners that come to me for financial advice every single year, you just haven’t been taught how to manage your money yet.
Luckily, there's a simple solution:
Mastering the money side of your business. Hint... it's more than just bookkeeping and handing off your taxes to a CPA.
Spoiler: You're not bad at money.
And you ALSO know that doing things the “wrong” way comes with pretty dire consequences: Debt. Audits. Penalties. The IRS coming after you like the bad guys in The Matrix.
(They don't do that, fyi.)
But unlike all the other aspects of your business you were able to figure out by yourself, proper money management and taxes are elusive.
Most of the time it feels like you don’t know what you don’t know. Like you’re missing something HUGE that’s going to cause major problems down the line.
You know there's a “right” way to handle the money flowing in and out of your online business.
I show online business owners how to get organized and feel confident when it comes to their money—whether it’s day-to-day management, making a big important financial decision, maximizing tax deductions, or keeping the IRS from knocking at the door.
And by doing this since 2006, I’ve learned a few things I think you should hear:
I'm Megan, CPA, Money Educator & Financial Strategist for Online Entrepreneurs
- Online businesses are different, and they need guidance and strategy specific to their structure.
- Most creators and service providers got into business because of their talent and skill—not because they have MBAs or a degree in finance. They're intelligent high achievers, which makes money struggles feel even more frustrating.
- Most online business owners have similar concerns, fears, and stresses around their finances & tax payments. In other words, you're not alone.
- Business owners who are interested in understanding and mastering their finances feel grounded, calmer, and more confident—which means they can show up as their biggest, baddest selves for the people they’re here to help.
Now, I’ve taken everything I’ve taught my 1:1 clients over the past 19 years, and turned it all into one comprehensive program for you to master your money once and for all…

What a business owner just like you had to say about The Online Business Finances™ Course:
— Clara o.
The Online Business Finances™ course is for you if...
You're an online business owner, a creator, a service provider, or any or all of the above.
You’re a high achiever who’s pretty smart and good at stuff, but your money is a bit of a hot mess and you’re embarrassed / overwhelmed / stressed / frustrated about it.
You don’t really know if your CPA is doing their best to save you money, but you either don’t know what questions to ask, or you don’t want to pay them for something you’re sure you could figure out for yourself.
You’re scared because you know your finances weren’t set up with a strong foundation, and you’re worried it’s going to cost you big time in the future.
You’re transitioning from being an employee to being a full-time business owner, and omg—there’s a lot you didn’t know you’d have to deal with regarding how you manage your money.
You’ve tried a few different online systems & software in hopes that the right tool would solve all your overwhelm, but nothing seems to stick.
You want to invest in your business but are scared to spend your money in case you get hit with an expensive surprise (like a big tax bill).
You have no idea (or only a vague idea) how much money your business brought in last year, or how much it cost to run it.
You’re ready to feel like a legit business owner who has it all together.
I'M READY TO GET STARTED!
You don’t want to spend another year playing small because you’re afraid that if you grow your business, you are growing your money mess too.
You’d rather *insert terrible thing here 🙂 than spend hours trying to sort through your finances to get ready to file your taxes right at the tax deadline.
You want to fully enjoy what you’re doing in your business, without the nagging fear that something bad will happen because you didn’t set your business finances up right.
You’re ready to have a step by step plan of what to do and how to do it to finally get organized.
You’re ready to feel like a real CEO of your business.
5 reasons putting off your finances is no longer an option:
Because this course is digital in nature, I wouldn’t normally offer a refund. BUT, if you get in there and truly feel like it’s not what you signed up for, I’ll allow a refund within 15 days. For this reason, I want you to take your time and really think about this before you commit to making the investment. I’m going to be all in for you, and here to help with any questions or concerns that come up during the work. I know that the information in this course is going to be super helpful for the right people!
My Guarantee:
Common Qs and As:
hey girl, i have a question...
I’ve put so much detail into not only the lessons, but have specific FAQ sections after each covering the most common questions I get. I’m sure I’ll answer your questions, plus some you didn't realize you had. And if you have any questions along the way, I'm here to support you 100%. I'll give you a course participant only email address that you can use for any questions that don't get answered in the course or if you want clarification on anything you're learning.
I honestly feel that you can’t afford to put your finances off “until a better time”. The sooner you get your finances in order, the faster you’ll be able to be confident in growing your business and have a clear understanding of what you need to do to be successful with not only managing your finances, but your tax situation as well. As a new business owner, figuring out your finances at the beginning is a perfect place to start and I keep everything simple and really easy to understand. You'll come back to this course again and again as your business grows.
I cover a broad range of topics that are specific to online business owners. You won’t see a lot of fluff in here that doesn’t apply to you. I dig into the tax stuff in a way that makes sense so you leave feeling empowered instead of confused. The way that I teach is very easy to understand and even if you “are bad at numbers”, you’ll be able to follow the modules and understand what your next steps are.
You could… but wouldn’t you like to feel a little more in control than that? I’ll teach you what to look for in a good bookkeeper and how to find a CPA that understands online businesses and what questions to ask before you hire them. I’ll also teach you what to expect from each so you aren’t left in the dark with your finances. Ultimately, you are the one responsible for your money and this is a great place to start.
Absolutely. Your CPA isn’t making the day to day decisions around your money that you are. I’ll teach you how to be fully prepared for tax time and confident you’re giving your CPA all the info they need to file your return correctly.
We’ll start from the ground up - the foundational stuff. You’ll work your way through it so you know as you progress through the course you’re covering the bases you need to. Believe me, I’ve seen it all and your stuff isn’t as bad as you think.
Because this course is digital in nature, I wouldn’t normally offer a refund. BUT, if you get in there and truly feel like it’s not what you signed up for, I’ll allow a refund within 15 days. However, it is to YOUR benefit to decide before purchasing the course and committing to work, if you’re in, you need to be 100% in, just as I will be for you if you have questions on anything.
Potentially! I'd love to get a little bit more information from you first to see if we'd be a good fit. Head to my contact me page.
I wholeheartedly believe that if you can free up the stress and overwhelm you feel about your business finances, that you can do more in your biz to make an impact and change lives with your services and offerings.
You’re smart enough to do it and just need someone to help you figure out what to do. When you have this financial peace around your business, you are capable of so much. You really can take your business to the next level.
You’re at a point in your business and want to level up and that cookie cutter course full of information for all types of businesses isn’t going to do it for you. You don’t have the time to sort through what applies to you as an online business owner and what doesn’t. You also don’t have the time or desire to go down the rabbit hole of what happens when you try to figure it out on your own – Free information, Google, Pinterest, and ultimately, information overload.
You need specific action steps, relevant information and a system around your finances to make it easy and streamlined. Stick with me, I can help.
