and your money
let's get you
I get asked some version of these questions ALL. THE. TIME. So I developed three different ways to help you gain control over your money, depending on where you’re at in your business.
- How do I keep track of everything without spending all my time in Excel?
- Am I breaking all the rules? Is the IRS gonna come for me?
- I feel like my business finances are completely out of control and it’s stressing me out. But whenever I try to get organized, I get even more overwhelmed, and nothing I’ve tried has stuck.
- Can I write off <X>?
- What’s the best platform for bookkeeping / payroll / invoicing / expense tracking?
- 1099s. Help?
- How do I make sure I can pay myself and still have money in the business?
- How much should I be paying myself?
- Paying myself???? LOL.
Literally every business owner has the same questions.
I’ve been helping business owners with their taxes since 2006, and in all that time, I can tell you one big secret that’s going to make you feel so much better about your money stress—
(I added a bonus one!) Hiring professionals is a great thing to do. But if you don’t know how any of the “money stuff” works, you’re going to go through a lot of bad fits before you find the person you’re looking for.
Without a working knowledge of tax policies, business entities, and expense tracking, you won’t be able to make informed, smart decisions for your business. No matter how great your CPA might be.
Entrepreneurial culture wants you to believe that hiring out is a measure of success. That doing things yourself is somehow “amateur.” (Wrong.)
It’s tempting to “just hire someone” to handle all your finances so you don’t have to worry about getting it wrong, but there are two problems with that approach:
*Not* because you love spreadsheets and bookkeeping.
You started your business because you're a great coach, creator or educator, and because you wanted to help others.
Everything you need to know to get organized, set up your systems, and properly handle your online business so the IRS doesn’t show up at your door—in a 5 week program that you can complete at your own pace.

I don't know how anyone runs a business without hiring you! For anyone who is an entrepreneur outside of the accounting space, having the help of setting up the financial side of things was such a relief and removed so much stress, burden, and overwhelm. I am so grateful!!"

What if I can’t decide on the course or 1:1 coaching?
Online business owners who are seeing growth, and are ready to outsource/hire contractors and/or need to know if they are doing the right things for their business as far as taxes go. If your existing systems (or lack thereof) are not giving you the information you need, or they’re creating more overwhelm than they’re helping, I can help you move to an accounting software (not as scary as it sounds!) and understand your numbers so you can make smart business decisions without worrying about screwing yourself. If you want a fully customized one on one program, this is for you. More info here.
Who is the 1:1 Program for?
Online business owners in the first two to three years of business, who are just getting started and want to make sure they have their business set up right, need to know specifics of how to organize and manage their business finances and how to pay taxes as a business owner and what deductions are available. If you’re moving from an employee to a business owner, this would be a great fit. Find the details & get enrolled here.
