Think of a bookkeeper as a gatekeeper of a business. All businesses, no matter how big or small, make and spend money. A bookkeeper helps keep track of it all. Therefore,bookkeeping is the first line of defense in business finance.“Keeping the books” simply means categorizing transactions,creating invoices, and entering any expenses. While the semight seem like basic tasks, they are vital to the success (or failure) of a business as they provide valuable data that can help guide better decision-making.

There’s this myth that all accountants are good at math, but this is where you get to do a happy dance because it’s simply not true. In fact, you don’t even have to love math to be a good bookkeeper. Do you have good attention to detail? Great. Can you add, multiply, and divide some numbers? Wonderful. You can do this.

More good news! You don’t have to step foot in a classroom— no extra degrees required here. Truth be told,many “bookkeepers” just learn the software and do their work. The problem is that just knowing the software doesn’ t make you a great bookkeeper (and that’s the goal here).Great bookkeepers understand foundational accounting (Ipromise it’s less scary than it sounds). The Bold Bookkeeper Academy provides you with all the foundational knowledge and skills you need (and then some).

Are there a lot of nuances and jargon that takes years of experience to understand? Nope! The hardest part about learning bookkeeping is the same challenge as learning any new skill: commitment. If you’re ready to commit, congratulations; you’ve jumped over the biggest hurdle.

One word: flexibility. You’ve got a busy schedule. You have other priorities. You can do bookkeeping at any time-- weekends, nights, mornings, whatever-- and there’s rarely a hard deadline. I’ve run a bookkeeping business late evenings and weekends when my kids were little so that I could spend the weekdays with them. It was exactly what I needed at the time. When things change, you can change when you do your work too. As long as you do the work, clients aren’t picky about when it gets done. That, my friend, is up to you.

Absolutely. Yes. 100%. But why stop there? I will even help you promote yourself by listing your name completely free of charge in the Bold Advisor directory so that business owners and accountants can find and hire you for their bookkeeping needs. Certification and a job? Yes, please! So, not only will you be certified, but you will be able to offer your service and start getting that experience you need to grow your business (and your income).

Life is so busy, am I right? But I don’t want that to keep you from living it on your terms. I designed this course to help you take back that power, and you can start by deciding when you complete each lesson. I’ve had people complete this lesson in a week, and others in 3 months. I’ve even had some people complete the program and then come back to repeat specific lessons. I’ve also seen women become great bookkeepers who are now on their way to building bookkeeping businesses that fit their desired lifestyle.
