HELLO

I'm Serena Shoup, CPA

I help experienced and aspiring accountants start and grow their own virtual bookkeeping businesses so they can create their ideal life.

Over the past few years of running my own virtual accounting firm, I've noticed there is an abundance of small businesses that need help from qualified bookkeepers and accountants. So, I started mentoring others who had the desire to help these businesses.

What makes me qualified to teach this? I was a controller in a hybrid finance role in corporate and I want to share what I know with you so you can support your clients better. I also practice what I teach inside my firm, so I know it works and clients value it.

Here's What People Are Saying About Elevate...

"I also wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank Serena and her team. You have truly been instrumental in making an amazing group and teaching us some amazing values to help better support our clients, and for that I am forever grateful. So, thank you very much for your hard work and effort in putting together this amazing training. "

- Beckie

"I've gained so much knowledge from this course and I already feel more confident to offer these high level services in the future!"
