🚨 CPA? Or Accomplice? 🚨When “creative accounting” turns into a full-blown audit risk, it’s time to ask: are you helping your clients — or helping them bury the evidence?Here’s what we’re not doing in 2025:🔻 “Uniforms” from Macy’s and Nike – because nothing says professional handyman like Air Jordans. 👟🛠️🔻 Grocery runs as “Meals” – oh yes, $90 at Trader Joe’s is clearly a business luncheon. 🥗🧾🔻 Turning employees into contractors – not only illegal, but also a fast track to 💸 IRS penalties and 🔥 state-level audits.✨ If your client’s books read like a true crime novel... it’s time to close the chapter. 💀 Not your circus.

Today’s chat with Melissa Miller Ferguson of Bookkeeping for Good was equal parts wisdom, laughter, and truth bombs. 💥 From owning her story to automating her workflow, Melissa reminded us that success isn’t about degrees — it’s about drive, discernment, and doing the work you love. 💼✨Your “lack” is your leverage. Melissa’s superpower? No accounting degree — just 20 years of QBO chops, servant leadership, and results. Clients care about outcomes, not pedigrees. 💪🧠✨ Niche or it gets messy. Ideal clients = happier you. Say no to energy vampires, price hagglers, and “must be on-site, not QBO” chaos. Protect your team, your scope, and your sanity. 🚫🧾🛡️ Automate the boring stuff. From Google scripts that pre-qualify leads to RightTool gems in QBO — small automations → big ROI (and time back for conferences like AFWA Women Who Count!). 🤖📬⏱️If this hit home, drop a 🔥 below and tell us your “hidden superpower.”🔥 Join our Bookkeepers On Fire Community to connect 🤝, collaborate 💬, and thrive 🚀 with like-minded professionals who are passionate about bookkeeping, accounting and business growth.Join us here: Bookkeepers On Fire CommunityBookkeepers On Fire is proudly ad-free and 100% listener-supported, so we can bring you unfiltered conversations without outside agendas.

🚨 PSA for new biz owners & workshop leaders: If you're still asking about free bookkeeping software… we need to talk.💸 Free is Foolish — and here’s why:🧨 Bookkeeping isn't optional. It's not a “nice to have,” it’s literally the brain of your business. Skimp here, and you're flying blind. 📉 Operating from your bank balance = a financial horror story. You’re not saving money, you’re signing up for chaos and missed deductions.🛠️ You wouldn’t build a house with a butter knife. So don’t build your biz without real tools. Software is your nail gun, not your splurge.Stop teaching people how to cheap out.

💸 Free bookkeeping software? Let’s call it what it is: a fast pass to financial chaos.Here’s why “free” will cost you more than a latte-a-day subscription:✨ Cheap now, costly later – Missed deductions, tax penalties, and sleepless nights add up fast. 📉 Numbers = business survival – If you don’t value your numbers, don’t expect investors, lenders, or even Uncle Sam to take you seriously. 🔥 Your time > free – Nights and weekends spent DIY’ing books? That’s time stolen from family, growth, and, well… your sanity.👉 Stop treating your business like a garage sale. Invest in tools that actually work.🔥 Join our Bookkeepers On Fire Community to connect 🤝, collaborate 💬, and thrive 🚀 with like-minded professionals who are passionate about bookkeeping, accounting and business growth.Join us here: Bookkeepers On Fire CommunityBookkeepers On Fire is proudly ad-free and 100% listener-supported, so we can bring you unfiltered conversations without outside agendas.

🚨 When “professional” doesn’t mean “available 24/7.” One of our Bookkeepers on Fire 🔥 is laying down the law (and the calendar) with a fractional CFO who just can’t take a hint… or read an email. 😤📌 Here’s what we unpacked in this fiery episode:✅ Office hours ≠ suggestions — If we’ve spelled it out (twice), maybe don’t schedule over nap time. 🍼🧠 ✅ No is a full sentence — You’re not obligated to explain your life to anyone. Period. 💅🏽🛑 ✅ Respect is a two-way Zoom — You wouldn’t book over a CFO’s availability. So why’s it OK the other way around? 🤔📆💬 Ever had to educate someone on boundaries?

🔥 “Tech stacks change. Trust doesn’t.” Today on Bookkeepers On Fire, we sat down with Tom Ruscitti. to talk apps, vendors, and why our community wins together—not by being louder, but by listening better.🎧 Listen > pitch. If you’re not hearing the problems of the people who actually do the work, you’re guaranteeing a bad app experience—no matter how shiny the demo is. 🥓 Pick pigs, not chickens. Vendors either dabble (eggs) or commit (bacon). Your reputation rides on their staying power—choose partners who are in it for the long run. 🤝 Community > competition. From sharing hard-won lessons to honest convos about ADHD, our accounting family lifts everyone. That’s our real advantage.👉 Like, subscribe, and share the Bookkeepers On Fire YouTube + podcast.

Non Profit, Not Free

Non Profit, Not Free

2025-10-0109:13

💥 Nonprofit ≠ Free Bookkeeping 💥You’ve got heart. You’ve got purpose. But let’s be real—purpose doesn’t pay the bills. If you're serving nonprofits and getting hit with the “Can we get a discount?” line... here's your permission to hold the line.👇 Here’s how to keep it spicy and professional:💰 Nonprofit is a tax status, not a budget excuse. They still have money—and they need experts, not volunteers.🧠 Know your worth, then add tax. You’re managing grants, compliance, and audits. That’s next-level bookkeeping.🚫 “Sorry, I’m not a nonprofit.” Say it with a smile. Then send the invoice.✨ Value the mission—but don’t undervalue your expertise.🔥 Join our Bookkeepers On Fire Community to connect 🤝, collaborate 💬, and thrive 🚀 with like-minded professionals who are passionate about bookkeeping, accounting and business growth.Join us here: Bookkeepers On Fire CommunityBookkeepers On Fire is proudly ad-free and 100% listener-supported, so we can bring you unfiltered conversations without outside agendas.
