Bookkeeping helps me be present during the holidays (and it can help you be there, too!)
It all started when I had my first baby. I remember holding him in my arms and thinking, I want to be here for all of it. His first giggle, his first steps, his first holidays – I didn’t want someone else telling me about them—I wanted to see them myself.
At the same time, I knew I needed to help support our family. So I started asking myself:
How can I make this work?
The pressure to balance it all—starting a family while trying to figure out a meaningful career—can feel overwhelming.
But let me tell you how I got through it (even during the busy holidays)!
I did some research, and I found out that bookkeeping is actually the ideal work-from-home gig for moms! So, I learned the essentials while nursing my baby and during the quiet moments of naptime. The pay is steady, recession-proof, and livable (entry-level jobs start at over $3,000/month!). From one online course, I grew a freelance bookkeeping career that has now been part of my life for 16+ years.
Why Bookkeeping Works for Moms Like Us
Here’s what I love about bookkeeping: it lets you work from home and be present for your family. When I’m “in the office,” I’m still close enough for hugs, family lunches, or to help with math homework.
And the holidays? Oh, the holidays. That’s where it really shines. I get to be home! Fully present for creating the kind of memories I dreamed of when I first became a mom, cookies included!
The best kind of cookies are the ones we make together!
Can You See Yourself Here?
Do you want to:
Be present for your family’s moments while still earning an income?
Work flexible hours that fit your schedule?
Build a real, meaningful career that helps others?
Mama, I’ve been where you are. I know the questions, the doubts, and the dreams. I’m here to tell you that it’s possible.
Your Next Step
Now, I’ll be honest: today’s job market is more competitive than it was when I started. Employers and clients want you to have practical skills, not just theory. That’s why I created Accounting Fundamentals, a bookkeeping course designed to give you both.
In this course, you’ll not only learn the “how” of bookkeeping, but you’ll also get hands-on practice with tools like QuickBooks. You’ll gain the confidence and competence to jump into client work at an entry-level—on your own schedule.
Imagine a life where you don’t have to choose between providing for your family and being there for them. Bookkeeping helped me create that life, and it can help you, too.
You deserve a career that works for your family.
