Tired of working the corporate 9-to-5 and ready to be your own boss?
You want to step out of corporate grind, but you need to be able to earn money quickly and blogging and other side hustles just aren't cutting it! You want a step-by-step (and quick) solution.
LET'S BE HONEST
The hardest part of bookkeeping isn't the work.Â
It's doing it alone.
Â
A clear plan. People in your corner. Support to keep you moving.
Here's what's included...
A customized plan for your business
Know exactly what to focus on next with an action plan built around your goals, experience, and available time—broken into manageable steps you can put into practice.
A private Slack channel for ongoing support
Ask questions as they arise, share wins, and get guidance from Susan, Jeanette, and fellow bookkeepers between live sessions, so you don’t have to figure everything out alone.
Personal accountability
Stay connected to your goals with check-ins, encouragement, and help working through obstacles. We’ll follow up on your action items and help you adjust your plan when you need to.
Working sessions to get things done
Make time for progress with focused Zoom sessions where we each work on our own cleanups, month-end tasks, and business projects—with company and accountability to help you follow through.

“For the first time, I didn’t feel like I was being sold a dream—I felt like I was being shown a path.”
I felt stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure where to start. Now I have a clear direction, confidence, and a real plan to build a flexible business that allows me to be present for my family while creating long-term income.

"Finding Susan’s bookkeeping course was by far the best thing that could have happened for me. Not only did Startup Bookkeeper Academy help me understand how to handle my own bookkeeping but now I have clients where I handle their accounts receivable bookkeeping. I’m forever grateful for her kindness, knowledge, and patience as a student."
