Blog

Read my substack blog for stories, advice, and opinions.  

If you've taken my classes, you might have heard some of the stories already... stories help fix concepts in our minds. 
I give advice all the time, mostly based on experience and real-life applications of bookkeeping, budgeting, and how money impacts life.  Some of the advice might even be worth listening to.

Program Reviews

Are you looking for a bookkeeping program?  Or are you wondering how the one you're using compares to the rest?  I have a scenario I run to simulate a small business startup that I'll run in various programs, and I'll write down how they stack up.

Classes

I teach classes on how to use bookkeeping programs... specifically using the the ones that do the best SEO (search engine optimization), and therefore get the most attention.  The classes are hosted by Fraser Valley Continuing Education. The principles apply to all programs, so if you want the basics, even if you're not using one of the Big Two programs, come join us

Coaching

I also help with individual bookkeeping problems and can provide one on one coaching.  If you don't have time for a class, or if your questions or bookkeeping puzzles aren't covered by any of the classes, let me know and we can work out a plan.
