Do you need help with your handmade business bookkeeping needs?

Have you done a LOT of “Googling” about how to handle the bookkeeping for your handmade or creative business?

Did you find a whole bunch of “stuff” that was outdated, general, or just isn’t what YOU need?

You may also be feeling pretty frustrated over the amount of time you’ve WASTED!

Very few so called “handmade/creative business experts” talk about the bookkeeping that’s involved when you do sell your finished items.

That’s where I can help…

My goal is to help handmade & creative business owners learn how to handle their bookkeeping with confidence!

I’ve been doing it for over 30 years as a career bookkeeper, small business owner (where I write software and teach people how to use QuickBooks), and a handmade business owner…….

My superpower (if you want to call it that)……….

Is knowing that YOU can learn to handle your bookkeeping tasks with confidence. And I do it without all that confusing “accounting speak”.

Drop me a note and let me know what you need.

Full Disclosure - How I use AI
I use AI to create blog post images, because it produces better maker specific images than I can find after spending hours searching through Canva and other places.
I write ALL of my own blog posts (sales pages, etc.), but I do run the draft through AI to make sure it's clear (and so I don't get too wordy or go off on a tangent!).
