Welcome to the Small Business Bookkeeping Academy
A self-paced, mom-designed course to help you build a meaningful career — from your kitchen table, during nap time, or whenever you can find a quiet moment.
Is Bookkeeping for You?
Is Bookkeeping the Perfect Career for Your Mama Life?
Discover a Flexible Career That Grows With Your Family
Dear Fellow Mama,
You're here because you're looking for something more. A way to contribute financially to your family while still being present for the moments that matter most. Perhaps you're on maternity leave, wondering if returning to your old job is the only option. Or maybe you're already home with your children but seeking a fulfilling career path that respects your role as a mother.
I found my answer in bookkeeping—and it might just be yours too.
Real Income Potential for Real Moms
From Side Hustle to Career Replacement
Bookkeeping income scales with the time you have available:
Your Availability Potential Monthly Income Typical Client Load
2-5 hours/week $200-$500 1-2 small clients
10-15 hours/week $1,000-$2,000 3-6 clients
20-30 hours/week $2,500-$5,000+ 7-12 clients
Start where you are. Many of my students begin with just one client during naptime hours, then gradually add more as they build confidence and as family schedules allow.
Your Day as a Bookkeeping Mama
A Glimpse Into the Balance
Morning:
Get the kids ready for the day
Check client emails during independent play time
Schedule any necessary client calls during most reliable times
Afternoon:
Complete focused bookkeeping work during naptime or quiet time
Process transactions and reconcile accounts
Take breaks to engage with your children
Evening:
Finish any time-sensitive tasks after bedtime (if needed)
Prepare for the next day's work
The best part? You control which days you work and how much you take on. School break? Reduce your hours. Kids starting school? Increase your client load.
From Decision to First Client: Your Roadmap
The Path Forward is Clearer Than You Think
Week 1-4: Foundation Building
Learn bookkeeping basics
Choose and set up your software
Establish your simple business foundation
Week 5-6: Practical Application
Practice with sample companies
Create your service packages and pricing
Develop basic marketing materials
Week 7-8: Client Acquisition
Identify potential first clients
Conduct discovery calls
Sign your first bookkeeping client
Month 3+: Growth and Scaling
Refine your processes based on experience
Add additional clients at your chosen pace
Expand your service offerings as desired
Remember: This timeline is flexible. Many moms spread this journey over 4-6 months rather than 8 weeks, and that's perfectly fine!
Common Concerns (I Had Them Too!)
Let's Address Your Hesitations
"I'm not good with numbers." Bookkeeping requires basic addition, subtraction, and percentage calculations—all handled by software. It's more about organization and attention to detail than complex math.
"I don't have time to learn something new." The 40-hour learning curve can be spread out over months if needed. Even 15 minutes daily adds up!
"What if I make mistakes with clients' finances?" Everyone starts with small, simple clients. You'll have resources and support, and bookkeeping has built-in verification processes.
"My kids are unpredictable. How can I commit to clients?" The beauty of bookkeeping is that most work is not time-sensitive to the hour. A client doesn't care if you reconcile at 1 PM or 9 PM—they just need it done by month-end.
"Will I need to get childcare?" Many of my students work entirely during naptime, after bedtime, or while kids are engaged in independent activities—no childcare required.
Is This the Right Time for You?
When to Take the Leap
The perfect time to start your bookkeeping journey is when:
- You're seeking financial contribution while maintaining family flexibility
- You have at least 3-5 hours weekly to dedicate to learning and then working
- You're ready for a professional identity alongside motherhood
- You want a skill that will serve you through all seasons of parenting
There's no perfect time. I started during maternity leave with a newborn. Others start when their youngest begins preschool. The important thing is to begin.

Dear exhausted, overwhelmed, dreaming mom,
You're tired of choosing between being present for your children and contributing financially to your family. You've probably been pitched countless MLM "opportunities" that promise freedom but deliver frustration, lost friendships, and a garage full of products you can't sell.
What if I told you there's a different way? A way that doesn't require you to sell to your friends, host parties, or chase after a constantly moving income target. A way that uses skills you likely already have, can be learned in 30 days, and has businesses begging for your services.
Welcome to the world of digital bookkeeping – where moms are quietly building six-figure businesses from their kitchen tables, working 20-25 hours per week, and never missing another school play or soccer game.
This isn't another get-rich-quick scheme. This is a proven, systematic approach that thousands of moms have used to create real, sustainable income while maintaining the flexibility to put their families first.
Why Bookkeeping is the Hidden Gem Career for Moms
The Perfect Combination of Flexibility, Income, and Growth
Unlike many work-from-home opportunities, bookkeeping offers:
Truly flexible hours
(work during naptime, after bedtime, or while kids are at activities)
Scalable income
(from $200/month part-time to $5,000+/month full-time)
Low startup costs
(under $1000 to launch your business)
Short learning curve
(approximately 40 hours to learn the essentials)
Consistent client need
(every business needs bookkeeping—recession-proof!)
Remote-friendly work
(no commute, no office politics)
Professional identity
(maintain your skills while raising your family)
”I started with just one client during my maternity leave.
By the time my leave ended, I had replaced my full-time income and never went back to my old job.
Now I work 25 hours a week while homeschooling my children."

Just 40 Hours to a New Career Path
One of the biggest myths about bookkeeping is that it requires years of education or training.
The truth?
The core skills can be learned in approximately 40 hours.
That's less time than most of us spent binge-watching shows during pregnancy!
These 40 hours can be spread over weeks or months, fitting into your current schedule:
1 hour a day for 40 days
2 hours a day for 20 days
4 hours a week for 10 weeks
What you'll learn in those 40 hours:
Bookkeeping fundamentals and terminology
How to use beginner-friendly software
Setting up client systems and workflows
Basic financial reports and their importance
Client communication and management
After those initial 40 hours?
You'll continue learning as you go, just like any profession.
But you'll be fully equipped to take on your first paying clients.
