Brass Jacks ~ January News ~


~ December 2024 ~

Hello Reader!

Happy New Year!

Brass Jacks has grown a lot over the last couple of years and we want to make sure we are connecting with those of you in our community. That's why we are launching a community space - The Bookkeeping Collective.

The Bookkeeping Collective will be the main hub for all things Brass Jacks. Here you will find out about upcoming events, trainings, co-working sessions, our bookkeeper support group and more! Read below for more information.

What's New This Month:

Bookkeeping Collective

The Bookkeeping Collective is your go-to space for connection, collaboration, and growth—and best of all, it’s completely free to join! This is where we’ll share all the details about upcoming events, workshops, and co-working sessions, so you’ll never miss an opportunity to engage and learn.

If you have taken a class from us, you will find this under "Apps" when logged into the platform.

If you have not taken one of our courses, you can still join the community by clicking "Sign-Up" in the top right corner of the Brass Jacks homepage.

Bookkeeper Resource Center

The Bookkeeper Resource Center is a place to ask all of your bookkeeping questions!

This is open exclusively to anyone who has previously taken a Brass Jacks class. If you are running into unknown territory in your client's books or just unsure if you've been doing something correctly, check out the BK Resource Center.

Free Co-Working Sessions

January is a BUSY month for bookkeepers. Between 1099s, W-2s and year end close we know how overwhelming this month can be - so we wanted to bring a bit of community and fun into the mix - we are now hosting weekly co-working sessions.

We have held a few impromptu sessions on social media and the feedback was that folks would prefer to have a heads up so they can get it on their schedule.

Weekly live sessions will be held on zoom - you can find out more in the collective.

Bookkeeping Foundations

We are now enrolling in Winter term of Bookkeeping Foundations!

This signature course is the kitchen sink of bookkeeping - it includes everything you need to set a strong foundation for your bookkeeping career.

Class starts February 15th.

Bookkeeping Business Blueprint

We are off to a rocking start with the BBB Mastermind where motivated and inspiring folks are creating their dream bookkeeping businesses. We still have a few spots open if you would like to join us for this 6 month mastermind.

We’re so excited to kick off the new year with you and continue building a strong, supportive community. Whether you're joining us for co-working sessions, exploring the new Bookkeeping Collective, or jumping into one of our courses, we hope Brass Jacks can be a source of connection and growth for you this year. Because let's face it—bookkeepers are better in community, and fostering that connection is what Brass Jacks is all about.

Warm wishes and happy bookkeeping,

Jackie & Jackie (JR & JS!)

No surprise monthly charges. Just… payroll. Included. For $249/year, that is unheard of. And judging by the messages we’ve been getting, bookkeepers are DONE paying huge fees just to run basic payroll for small teams. 👉 View Brass Jacks Bookkeeper Inside BJB, you can: Track payroll hours three different...

Hi Reader, If you’ve been feeling squeezed by rising software costs, you’re not alone. And honestly, it’s not just about the price anymore. Just yesterday someone told us: “All the big bookkeeping software options are run by companies I would rather not support. Very interested to see what you have.” For years, software companies have been pushing everything toward cloud-only, subscription-only systems. They control the pricing, the features, the updates. Even how you can access your own...

Reader. It’s here. After months of building, testing, refining, and (let’s be honest) wrestling with every tiny detail… Brass Jacks Bookkeeper is officially live. And I want to tell you exactly why this matters. For years, we watched something happen that didn’t sit right with us: QuickBooks Desktop users being pushed into QBO against their will Costs climbing higher every single year Pages spinning, loading, freezing Integrations duplicating transactions and wrecking financials Bookkeepers...
