Independence Bookkeeping, LLC

Did you know that your business bookkeeping is just like a piece of IKEA furniture? 🪑

I’m serious, it’s 100% true!

But I’m sure you’re wondering how I can compare your bank transactions and expense receipts to Swedish furniture, right?

So let’s think about one of those IKEA dressers – either a sleek 3-drawer Koppang in glossy white, or maybe a warm 5-drawer Bjorksnas in oak. The model doesn’t matter too much, as long as it helps you keep your clean clothes organized, right?

So - what happens after you decide to buy that nice new Biorksnas in the showroom?

You go down to the storeroom to buy the unassembled kit 📦

And now you have to bring it home, pray all of the allen wrenches and screws are included and assemble it.

You bought it for a specific purpose – to organize your clothes and help you always find your favorite shirt (instead of digging through piles on the floor).

You didn’t just buy it to sit in the corner as a box of loose screws and particle board, right? It’s absolutely useless like that – but, with a little assembly, it can organize your whole wardrobe! 👕🧦🩲🩳

And THAT is how a Bjorksnas IKEA dresser is just like your business bookkeeping

Has it been a while (maybe a long while) since you’ve checked into your Quickbooks account? Maybe you can’t even remember the last time you reconciled a bank statement or ran a financial report? 😬

If that’s the case, you never assembled that Bjorksnas IKEA dresser!
Because I promise you, your business finances are NOT just a useless box of loose screws 🔨 With a little assembly, your business bookkeeping becomes FAR more useful than that Swedish chest of drawers. When your bookkeeping is “assembled” and up to date:

💰 You can respond to unpaid invoices faster – and therefore get paid faster

💰 You can see which of your products are the most profitable – and create new strategies around them

💰 And if there comes a day when you need financing or a business loan, you’ll be ready at a moment’s notice to apply with whatever information the bank requires

All of which is WAY more important than keeping your socks and underwear separate 😉 🩲

Moral of the story? Make sure you take the time to assemble that Bjorksnas dresser!

But even if you don’t have time to “assemble” or catch up on your bookkeeping – guess what? Just like IKEA has an assembly service for their furniture, I can help you “assemble” your bookkeeping 😉

No more fiddling with Quickbooks or panicking at tax time – just all of the financial information you need, neatly organized and clearly showing you how to keep your business growing and happy!

Just reach out today if you need help with assembly – I’ve definitely got room for one more chest of drawers! 😉

Listen – I never said that you CAN’T do it...

I just said that, maybe, just maybe … you didn’t start your business to become a part-time bookkeeper.
📝 Or a part-time copywriter
📱 Plus a social media manager
💻 And a graphic designer
☎️ Oh, and a salesman, too.

(Seriously – after doing all of that, what time is left for you to work on your actual business? 45 seconds a day, maybe??)

Now I know that, if you really wanted to, you could become a really stellar bookkeeper. After all, you’re smart and hard-working, right? You’re totally capable!

📚 For starters, you can easily read through “Bookkeeping for Dummies” (after all, it’s only 359 pages)

📊 After that, you can also get certified in Quickbooks, just to make sure you understand how to apply everything (after all – the certification course only takes about 12 hours to get through before you take the final test)

👩‍🏫 And I know you’re definitely smart enough to ace any intensive bookkeeping courses out there (I hear that the Bookkeeper Business Launch only takes 3 months and only costs $2,500!)

Again – I know you’re more than smart enough to learn all of this.

But the question isn’t about how smart you are …

… It’s about WHY you started your business in the first place and HOW you want to spend your precious energy and limited time.

And I’m guessing that “12 hours getting certified in Quickbooks Online” doesn’t even crack the top 10 😉

If you want to keep growing your business – and doing more of the things you ACTUALLY want to do – you’re going to have to give up doing EVERYTHING yourself.

You just don’t have the time ⏰

And you’ll need to start hiring people who are already experts in things like graphic design … or bookkeeping.

For example - someone like me:

🎓 Has their MBA in accounting
🤓 Am Quickbooks certified
💼 Has also been running her own business with her husband and friends since 2016!

So if you’re ready to stop being a jack of all trades, and start spending more time in your zone of genius (and joy!) … just reach out. I’d love to help you, just like I help the rest of my clients every single day.
