Hey Test,

Can I ask a question?

What does community mean to you?

(for real–hit reply and let me know.)

For me, it’s a group of people gathered together for a common cause or interest.

Like you and me and the other kick-ass bookkeepers and accountants on this email list. We are all striving to become better at our craft & serve clients to the highest level possible.

Which is awesome! I love getting replies and learning more about you.

But today I’m thinking about how you can make more friends interested in this common goal. Not just me. So I’ve gathered a few places where I hang out and feed my obsession with bookkeeping & business.

  1. Bookkeeping Sidehustle Community - truth be told, I don’t spend a ton of time in Facebook groups anymore, but I do frequently pop into this one to answer questions. But mostly, I just read Kate’s newsletter on Substack… like religiously. She puts out some really top notch & transparent content.

  2. The Mind Your Business Podcast - this isn’t specific to bookkeeping, but rather business in general. The shifts you will make from listening to this podcast are—dare I say—quantum.

  3. The Ambitious Bookkeeper Community - I’d be remiss not to mention my own community. The caliber of accountants and bookkeepers in here is second to none. Everyone in here is eager to learn & share while being super supportive of everyone else. I host monthly Live Q&As on zoom, too—so you don’t even have to be in the FB group to access those. They’re every 1st Thursday of the month (but we’re skipping July).

    Next one is June 6 @10 AM PDT

Let me know if you have any questions around any of these. And if you need any introductions, I’m here for you!

And last but not least, here’s this week’s podcast episode, which just happens to be one of our recent live Q&As!

In this episode you’re getting another peek inside my monthly live Q&As with my students! This time I touch on a range of topics including CFO services, hiring, AP/AR, taxes, S Corps, and more!

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • where to learn the skills for CFO services without going back to a university
  • how to provide AP & AR services
  • how to create job posts to get good team members & where to put your job postings
  • how to keep clients from messing with things inside Xero/QBO
