Pleaseeee stop waiting until you think your bookkeeping is clean enough for a bookkeeper...

Contractors, at By The Books, you can come as you are! 🤗

I have literally seen every weird thing you can possibly do in your bookkeeping, and nothing has fazed me yet.

If you're a contractor who really doesn't feel confident when you open up QuickBooks, you're exactly who I'm talking to!

I'd loveee to review your game footage (aka your bookkeeping) and give you some helpful pointers... and I promise I won't be as judgemental as the hosts on ESPN come Monday morning. 🏈

All jokes aside, I'm here for businesses to bring in a fresh set of eyes, clean up any messes that might've happened over the past year, and take bookkeeping off your plate!

Want a better game plan for your finances moving forward? Put me in, coach! 🙂‍↕️

Business Owners: These numbers aren't just telling you what happened in your business...

They're giving you the answers to those burning questions that keep you up at night, like:

→ Am I charging enough (or too much)?!

→ Where should I focus in my business to hit my goals?

→ How much money do I *actually* have to spend? And how much of my bank balance is just gonna go towards taxes?

September is your chance to make the changes your business needs to hit your 2026 goals.

If you don't have the underlying data (aka bookkeeping) to run these numbers, we need to talk. 📲

My challenge for every restaurant this September? 👀

Track allll of the hours you work!

Yes, that means the 5 minutes you spent responding to DMs this morning, the 15 minutes you'll spend doing another short task later tonight, and all the random admin to-dos that pop up...

Use a time-tracking tool like Toggl or Clockify, or just keep a running tally in your Notes app.

At the end of the month, divide your income by the total hours you worked to find out your ~effective hourly rate~.

If you wouldn't take a job at a restaurant for that pay, that's your sign that something (price, services, expenses, etc) needs to change. 🤨

POV: You were going to catch up on your bookkeeping after that family vacation to Mexico... then after the 4th of July... then after the kids go back to school...

I SEE YOU! 👀

And I've seen this pattern with too many owners before you to know exactly how it ends: you desperately searching for a bookkeeper before April 15th!

I've laid out the exact steps you need to take to get your bookkeeping caught back up after the summer.

Don't have the time, energy, or desire to do all that?!
