💸 Favorite clients can still fail… and it’s not your fault.

Sometimes, tough love is the best kind of bookkeeping.

🔥 Here’s the hard truth we don’t like to admit:

☕ Starbucks ≠ Sales. If your client spends more than they sell, no spreadsheet magic can fix it.

💳 Loans for payroll? That’s not strategy, that’s survival mode (with interest).

🚪 No sales, no business. A website doesn’t pay the bills—customers do.


At the end of the day, you can love your client… but you can’t fund their denial. Sometimes, letting go is the real act of service.


👉 Bookkeepers, have you ever had to give a client the “tough mom” talk?
