    093 Your Books are Messy But You're Not a Mess: How to Rebuild Confidence in Your Numbers

    If you've opened QuickBooks lately and wanted to slam your laptop shut, you're not alone.  Here's the thing: Messy books don't mean that you are bad at business. Maybe you've just outgrown your current bookkeeping methods, or maybe the finance side of your business has never actually made sense to you. Either way I'm here to help! Our goal today is to normalize the feeling of shame or overwhelm and remove the guilt. Clean books don't make you legit, taking ownership of your books does. If you're ready to feel confident in your numbers again, come hang out with me inside the membership — I'll walk you through it one step at a time.

    092 How to Hire the Right Bookkeeper or Accountant & Work Together Smoothly

    Hey, bookkeeping besties! Today we're talking about what to look for when hiring a bookkeeper or accountant, and how to actually work well with them once you do hire them. Hiring help can be so nerve wracking because you're choosing to trust someone with your numbers. A lot of business owners have told me that it feels very vulnerable to share that side their business. So whether you're thinking about outsourcing or just curious for the future, this episode is going to help you know what questions to ask and how to make a really good decision when you do choose to hire.   Here are the ways we can connect: SIGN UP FOR EMAILS: https://erikamillard.myflodesk.com/podcast Reach me: https://erikamillard.com/contact Learn: www.erikamillard.com Email: connect@erikamillard.com Instagram: @erika_millard   Free QuickBooks Next Steps Session call                                                                                  https://portal.erikamillard.com/public/appointment-scheduler/6814fec8e03a2f003a29c5f1/schedule   Take Home Target                                                                                                        erikamillard.com/takehometarget   Mini Course- Get Comfy with Budgeting                                                                                  https://erikamillard.com/budget   Get Comfy with QuickBooks                                                                                                      https://erikamillard.com/get-comfy-with-quickbooks   Don't forget to download the free Monthly Bookkeeping Checklist                                       https://erikamillard.com/bookkeeping-checklist    I'm so excited to share my new freebie that will help you keep making smart decisions in your business : https://erikamillard.com/qbhealthcheck    Happy Bookkeeping!

    091 3 Numbers to Review Every Quarter in QuickBooks (and Why They Matter)

    Quarterly reviews aren't about perfection, they're about knowing where you stand so you can finish the year with confidence. Even if bookkeeping hasn't been perfect, I want you to know what 3 numbers you want to check in on so you can have clarity and confidence.   #1: Profit & Loss: Am I actually profitable this quarter? #2: Expenses: Where is money leaking? #3: Invoices & Receivables: What money is owed to me?   And if you do this review and something feels off—maybe you're not sure what the numbers are telling you, or you're worried you've been doing it wrong—I offer free Next Step Sessions. It's a quick chat where I can point you in the right direction for your business.   Here are the ways we can connect: SIGN UP FOR EMAILS: https://erikamillard.myflodesk.com/podcast Reach me: https://erikamillard.com/contact Learn: www.erikamillard.com Email: connect@erikamillard.com Instagram: @erika_millard   Free QuickBooks Next Steps Session call                                                                                  https://portal.erikamillard.com/public/appointment-scheduler/6814fec8e03a2f003a29c5f1/schedule   Take Home Target                                                                                                        erikamillard.com/takehometarget   Mini Course- Get Comfy with Budgeting                                                                                  https://erikamillard.com/budget   Get Comfy with QuickBooks                                                                                                      https://erikamillard.com/get-comfy-with-quickbooks   Don't forget to download the free Monthly Bookkeeping Checklist                                       https://erikamillard.com/bookkeeping-checklist    I'm so excited to share my new freebie that will help you keep making smart decisions in your business : https://erikamillard.com/qbhealthcheck    Happy Bookkeeping!
