The Stay-At-Home Bookkeeper Academy Podcast
Welcome to "The Stay At Home Bookkeeper Academy Podcast"!
The Bookkeeper Academy Podcast is where real people rewrite their futures — one honest conversation at a time.
Whether you’re burned out from your 9–5, craving more flexibility, dreaming of owning your own business, or simply looking for a career path that gives you control of your time and your income… you’re in the right place.
Each episode pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to build a profitable, flexible bookkeeping business from scratch — even with zero experience. You’ll hear from mentors who built six-figure freedom-based businesses, guest experts who’ve helped thousands of bookkeepers succeed, and everyday entrepreneurs who turned “I hope I can” into “I can’t believe I did.”
We talk about the things most people avoid: doubt, overwhelm, starting over, imposter syndrome, and what to do when life feels heavy but you know you’re meant for more. And yes — we also dig into the practical stuff: finding clients, shifting your mindset, building confidence, and taking the very first step.
