It happens every year! Kristin and I start hearing or getting tagged in questions about people who are stuck finishing off their accounting books every year. We decided to ask our Small Biz Life Community for their questions to answer here!
I get it. I hate bookkeeping and I am cheap. I do not like "paying" monthly fees. I am a cheapskate. However, this is one of those areas I have evolved. Kristin has managed to keep the books for all of our companies and families in about an hour a month.
Listen to this important episode that will free up your time, and all you to MAKE MORE MONEY NOW!
