The Short Answer: Yes, But You Shouldn’t QuickBooks Online lets you put more than one business under a single subscription. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Think of it like trying to forecast the weather for two completely different cities using the same thermometer. You might get a number, but it won’t tell you the […]

How do you know when its time to stop doing your own bookkeeping for your business? I meet lots of small business owners. Most of them do everything when they start their business- they sell things, help customers, answer phones, and yes… they do their own books. And you know what? That’s smart at first. […]

What Most Business Owners Get Wrong About DIY Bookkeeping Running a business is tough. You do sales, help customers, manage workers, handle marketing, and maybe even clean toilets. So when QuickBooks ads say, “It’s super easy! Just link your bank and you’re done!” – of course, you want it to be true. Who doesn’t? But […]

If you’ve ever watched a QuickBooks Online commercial, you’ve probably seen it: a business owner clicking a few buttons, connecting a bank account, and suddenly—ta-da!—they’ve “done” their books.

There’s something mesmerizing about watching someone clean up a mess. Especially when it’s one of those YouTube videos where a guy shows up to tackle an overgrown lawn that’s completely swallowed up a property—trees sprouting through the driveway, weeds taller than the windows, sidewalks buried beneath layers of neglect. It starts as chaos. But then, […]

There’s a quiet power in doing things the right way—even when no one’s watching. When it comes to bookkeeping, that power shows up in what we call quality control. It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. And most of the time, if it’s working well, you don’t even notice it. But behind every clean report, accurate […]

There’s a moment I’ll never forget—a turning point that reshaped everything for me. I had just finished cleaning up three years’ worth of financial records for a small-town automotive repair shop. The books were messy. The software was clunky. Nothing lined up. But I dug in, fixed the cost of goods sold, reconciled the […]

Finding the right bookkeeper or accountant can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack—especially if you’re not sure what to ask or where to start. Over the years, I’ve learned that the questions you ask are as important as the answers you get. And with tools like ChatGPT at your fingertips, you can […]
