The COA isn’t just a list of accounts; it’s a structured system that directly impacts a business’s financial clarity. While adding new balance sheet accounts—like a new credit card or money market account—is straightforward, the real chaos... (click to continue)

⬇️ ⬇️ Exciting News! ⬇️ ⬇️

Last spring, we launched a Kickstarter to bring the Bookkeeper's Survival Guide to life. One of the rewards for our backers was the opportunity to name our next bookkeeping course.

Today, we’re excited to introduce Chastity Tacata, our most generous supporter!

Chastity is a dedicated bookkeeper and the owner of Pacific Kai Bookkeeping, in Beaverton, Oregon.

She is passionate about helping small businesses bring clarity to their finances, ensuring they have accurate records to make informed decisions with confidence. As a firm believer in continuous learning and professional growth, Chastity is honored to support initiatives that strengthen the bookkeeping profession and equip others for success.

Thank you, Chastity for your support of Brass Jacks!

Chastity also has a passion for helping businesses keep their books in order, so when we met for lunch last summer, she knew exactly what the next course should focus on—cleaning up messy books!

Thanks to Chastity, we’re proud to introduce The Bookkeeper’s Clean-Up Kit!

We couldn't agree more, there is a huge need for this kind of material and we are thrilled to announce that the Bookkeeper's Clean-Up Kit is actually a TWO-part series.

Part I - "Clean-up the Chart of Accounts" is now open for enrollment and Part II - "Clean-up the Books" will be released in August.

Both parts can be purchased as a stand-alone course, or you can bundle them for an extra $50 discount, this week only.

Both the Chart of Accounts Clean-Up and the Bookkeeper's Clean-Up Kit are on sale for a limited time!

Quick Bookkeeping Tip

A bookkeeper's role goes far beyond number crunching and data entry. In fact, one of your roles as a bookkeeper may be to act as a liaison between a business owner and their CPA. There is a gap in language that can occur here sometimes, so feel free to step in here and offer your clients some help!
