Most boutique owners don't avoid their bookkeeping because they're lazy. They avoid it because nobody ever handed them a roadmap. In this episode, I'm walking you through six free bookkeeping resources that meet you wherever you're stuck right now, in the exact order you'd actually use them. We start with the most common bookkeeping questions answered in plain English, move into knowing what you can deduct on your taxes, avoiding the most common bookkeeping mistakes, building a solid foundation with a boutique-specific chart of accounts, learning to actually READ your financial reports, and finally getting a handle on your cash flow with Profit First. You don't have to grab all six today. You just need to know which one matches where you are.
