Ever feel like you’re too late to start your bookkeeping business, or like you need one more certification before you’re ready?
In this episode, I’m joined by Laura Strobel, owner of Village & Vine Consulting. Her story is proof that there’s no perfect timeline for starting a bookkeeping practice.
Laura didn’t side hustle her way into bookkeeping. She learned the skills, took the plunge, and went all in, alongside her daughters.
You’ll learn:
- When it actually makes sense to leave your W-2 job
- Why the first 1-3 years of growing a bookkeeping practice feel hard
- What full-cycle bookkeeping services look like and why clients value them
- Why having support changes everything when you’re building a business
- How to balance working with family
Whether support comes from family, mentors, peers, or a community like The Bookkeeping Training Circle, you don’t have to figure this out alone.
