Bookkeeping & finance coachingBookkeeping & QuickBooks Coaching
Set up your books properly, learn QuickBooks Online, and finally know your real numbers. One-on-one coaching from someone who keeps the books for several businesses.
Taught by Nick Bradfield
Most small-business owners don't hate bookkeeping — they hate not knowing whether they're doing it right. Coaching fixes that: we work in your actual books, set up the categories and habits that fit your business, and get you to where month-end is routine instead of a dread.
It's taught by someone who keeps the books for several businesses at once — reconciling bank feeds, running payroll and paying contractors, and getting everything ready for the accountant at tax time. You learn to do it yourself, and you learn when something belongs with a licensed professional.
Your books, not a textbook
Every session works in your real accounts and your real problems.
QuickBooks Online, properly
Chart of accounts, bank feeds, rules, reconciliation, and the reports that matter.
Know your real numbers
Profit, cash flow, and what you can actually afford — not just a bank balance.
Systems that save hours
Habits and automations that keep the books current without weekend catch-ups.
