Non-Profit and Small Business Bookkeeper

10/22/2026

Using your business card doesn't automatically make something a write-off...

A business expense is a cost of running your business. A tax deduction is an allowable amount that reduces your taxable income ❌ They're not the same thing, and mixing them up is one of the easiest ways to get in trouble at tax time.

What you purchased, why you purchased it, and the tax rules that apply all matter.

Before you file something away as a business write-off, ask yourself:

➡️ Was it actually for the business?
➡️ Is it ordinary and necessary for what you do?
➡️ Is it fully deductible, or only partially (home office expenses and meals and entertainment for example)?
➡️ Do you have the proper records to back it up?

If you're not sure on any of these, that's usually where things start getting messy, and why having a monthly bookkeeper can be helpful!

💌 Send me a message if you want a second set of eyes on your expenses!

$20k in your account? That's not all yours to spend 💸

You check your bank app before making a big purchase decision, and you see money in there, thinking you're good to go! Unfortunately though... That number includes money that isn't actually yours to spend yet 👇🏻

➡️ Payroll that hasn't gone out
➡️ Taxes you'll owe
➡️ Credit card payments already coming
➡️ Expenses sitting right around the corner

Some of it's already spoken for, you just haven't seen the bill yet 👀

Your bank balance can't tell you that, but your financial reports can.

Curious how much of your balance is actually spoken for? That's exactly what a bookkeeper can help you figure out. Send me a message if you're looking for some clarity this fall 💌🍂

Some of my clients come in already comfortable with numbers, Lee wasn't one of them 👀

She'll be the first to tell you tracking and details aren't her thing, and for a long time, that made the financial side of running Table for One Wellness feel like something to brace for instead of just... handle.

💙 Relief doesn't come from avoiding your numbers
💙 It comes from finally understanding them
💙 And not carrying it alone

Getting to watch that shift for Lee, and all my clients, has been one of my favourite parts of this job.

I've got a couple of spots left this fall if you're ready for that same relief. Send me a message 💌

I don't just enter your numbers. I help you make decisions with them 🤝🏻

All of my nonprofit clients are kicking off their fall programs at the same time right now, which means payroll changes coming at me from every direction 🌪️ Budget season's happening too, and clients keep asking "can we actually do this?" before they make a move.

➡️ Payroll changes as programs restart
➡️ Budgets getting built for the year ahead
➡️ Decisions clients want to talk through before they commit

That's the part of this job I love 💙 Being in the room for the "can we do this" conversation, not just the bookkeeping behind it. It's also exactly why I'm bringing on more support this fall, so the strategy work doesn't keep getting buried under everything else.

What's something you've been meaning to ask your bookkeeper or accountant, but haven't gotten around to yet? 👇🏻

Every fall I watch the same thing happen 🍂👀

People think about switching bookkeepers, or finally getting their books handled properly... and then they wait. January feels like the natural fresh start, so that's when they tell themselves they'll deal with it.

Here's the thing about waiting for January.... So is everyone else, and by that point, bookkeepers typically aren't onboarding any longer.

➡️ I'm not onboarding at all once tax season hits
➡️ Every bookkeeper I know is buried by February
➡️ You'll be lucky to find anyone with room, let alone the right fit

Right now, I still have a spot in October, and one in November. After that, I'm full until spring ☀️🌷

Fall's different! 🍂 There's no deadline breathing down anyone's neck yet, which makes it the actual best time to get set up before the scramble starts.

💌 If you've been thinking about it, this is the window. Send me a message if you're interested in one of those spots!

Officially certified in QuickBooks Online 🎉

I'm allowed to brag a little, right? 😅 It's one of those things that sounds small until you think about how much of your business lives inside that software.

Your books are only as good as the system they're in, and here's what that means for you:

💙 Your QBO gets set up properly the first time
💙 A messy file gets cleaned up, not patched over
💙 When something looks off, you're not left Googling it at 10pm

Whether you're brand new to QBO or you've been in there for years wondering if it's set up right, working with a bookkeeper guarantees you're always using it correctly!

Are you on QBO, or something else? Tell me below 👇🏻

If you're looking for a bookkeeper this fall, I've got a couple spots left. Send me a DM or fill out the intake form on my website 💌🍂

Let's do a business check-in! Here's where I'm at 👇🏻

Mine's been busy! 😴

➡️ I brought on two new clients this month
➡️ And there's a good chance I'll bring on one or two more in October

I say that not to brag, just because I think we don't talk about this stuff enough!

The wins, the growth, the "oh wow, that actually happened" moments. We're usually too deep in the day-to-day to stop and notice them.

So tell me! What's something that's happened in your business this month that you haven't really told anyone about yet? Good, hard, weird, doesn't matter. I'd love to hear it 🫶🏻

The moment someone finally sends me their books after avoiding them for months, I already know what they're expecting 😅👀

➡️ They're expecting me to be a little judgmental
➡️ Maybe a bit disappointed

But I'm not! I've genuinely seen every version of "behind" there is, and none of them surprise me anymore:

😅 Receipts pulled out of a glovebox
😅 Statements from three different accounts, never once opened
😅 "I know it's bad, I'm sorry" typed out before anything's even attached

Here's the part people don't expect:

The second you actually send it over, the hard part is already done! 😮‍💨✅

That's what avoidance was protecting you from the whole time... Not the bookkeeping itself, just that first message.

The actual work? That's just Tuesday for me 💙

I've got 2 spots opening up in October!

💌 If your books have been the thing you keep meaning to deal with, this is your sign to send the message instead of waiting for the "right time" 🫶🏻
