I’m an Accountant, and My Business Finances Still Scared Me—That’s Why I Wrote This Book

I’m an Accountant—and Still, My Business Finances Terrified Me

This might sound strange coming from someone who studied accounting.
Someone who loves numbers. Someone who can read financial statements like other people read horoscopes.

But here’s the truth:
When it came to my own business… my finances scared me.

I didn’t feel in control.
I didn’t feel organized.
And I definitely didn’t feel confident.

So if you’ve ever looked at your income and expenses and thought, “I should know this by now…”—you’re not alone.
I’m here to tell you: it’s not about how smart you are. It’s about the systems you build.

The Moment Everything Changed

It started with something simple: a bounced transfer to a freelancer.
I had been working nonstop for weeks. Invoices were going out. Sales were coming in. But when I checked my bank account—there wasn’t enough.

The worst part?
I didn’t even know why.

I had spreadsheets. I had tools. I knew all the “right” ways to organize money…
But I was missing something deeper:

→ Consistency
→ Simplicity
→ Mental space to use what I knew

That’s when it hit me.
I wasn’t the only one. So many brilliant business owners—my clients, my peers, my friends—were going through the exact same thing.

We’re smart. We’re capable. But we’re overwhelmed by the invisible mess that grows when you don’t have a clear system.

And that’s when I made a promise:

“I’m going to fix this for myself—and then I’m going to write the book I wish I had.”

What They Don’t Teach You in Business School

You can go to accounting school, study balance sheets, work with taxes for years—and still feel lost when the numbers are yours.

Why?

Because running a business isn’t just math.
It’s emotional. It’s fast. It’s messy.
And most of all—it’s personal.

No one teaches you how to:

• Track money that’s irregular or seasonal

• Set boundaries with client payments

• Pay yourself with confidence

• Deal with tax stress

• Plan for growth without panic

And even if you love numbers like I do—when the numbers are tied to your dreams, your goals, and your identity—it’s easy to freeze.

That’s Why I Wrote This Book

I didn’t write this to “teach you finance.”
You don’t need another course or a complex app.

I wrote this to give you clarity.
To hand you a system that actually fits the way your business works.

My book is called:

👉 Financial Systems for Small Business
A practical system for organizing your finances and growing with confidence.

It’s designed to feel like having an accountant friend walk you through everything—step by step, without judgment, without jargon.

What’s Inside the Book

This is the exact system I used to:

✅ finally separate my personal and business money
✅ stop feeling guilty about expenses
✅ pay myself consistently
✅ automate boring routines
✅ make financial decisions I trust

Who It’s For

This book is for you if:

• You run a small business but still feel like you’re “guessing” with money

• You hate feeling unprepared when taxes roll around

• You don’t want to outsource everything—you want to understand

• You love what you do, but managing the money side takes too much time and energy

• You know you’re ready to level up—but need the numbers to back you up

Why It Works

This isn’t a boring textbook. It’s a mix of:

✨ clear frameworks
✨ real-life stories (mine and others’)
✨ mindset shifts
✨ action steps you can take today

Every chapter ends with a reflection or a mini challenge, so you’re not just reading—you’re building something real.

One Last Thought

Yes, I’m a numbers girl.
Yes, I’m a trained accountant.
And yes—my business finances still made me feel like I was failing.

But once I built a system that worked, everything changed.
I found peace.
I found power.
And I found a version of my business that felt sustainable—and exciting again.

You don’t need to be an expert.
You just need a system that works—for you.

And that’s what this book is here to give you.
