Merry Christmas from Uplift Bookkeeping! 🎅 I will be spending our Christmas Eve dinner with family and having a Christmas brunch filled with pancakes and bacon at a local diner the next day, a tradition my hubby and I started a few years ago.

We’re truly thankful for your continued trust and partnership. Here’s to a joyful holiday and an amazing New Year ahead! 🥂🫶

Can you relate to this one? 🤔

What worked for others does not automatically mean it’ll also work for you.

I can’t tell you how many people reach out to me and say, “DIY-ing my books is stressing me TF out.”

Everyone always talks about how easy it is. And that as a small biz owner, you can tooootally do it yourself. I mean, you’re just saving your receipts and plugging numbers into a sheet. Right? Hmmmm..

Take it from K*, who looked for advice from a business group on Facebook. After being told “bookkeeping is SUPER easy”, she signed up for QuickBooks and tried DIY-ing.

She got overwhelmed by the stress and ditched it realllll quick. Her words, not mine: it was a TOTAL fail. (And if you’ve ever tried using QBO and you’re NOT a numbers person, you understand why.)

But in reality, it wasn’t a fail at all. It was a massive WIN for her.

Wanna know why? Cause…

→ She recognized her limits
→ She acknowledged where her skills REALLY lie
→ And she chose to HONOUR her time by outsourcing her bookkeeping to yours truly 👩‍💻

Now, instead of *trying to track* her money, she gets to invest her energy *and* time into MAKING it. She gets to do what she LOVES and is AMAZING at.

And if you’re thinking… “I’m new to business. Is it too early for me to outsource?”
It’s never too early to give yourself back your time, and set up financial habits that poise you for success. 🙌
