Raise your hand if accounting makes you want to scream into a pillow.

Raise your hand if numbers, spreadsheets, and financial jargon make you want to hide under the covers 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Accounting: the necessary evil for most of us non-number-nerds. But it doesn’t have to be a nightmare!

It’s okay to hate it: Let’s be honest, accounting is rarely anyone’s idea of a good time.

Trying to make sense of debits, credits, and tax forms is enough to induce panic.

Do This, Instead:

  • Simplify with software: Use accounting tools (Quickbooks, Xero) designed for small businesses.
  • Outsource if possible: Even a part-time bookkeeper can take a huge load off your shoulders.
  • Break it into chunks: Tackle accounting tasks in short bursts rather than marathon sessions.
  • Find resources: Blogs, online courses, and tutorials specifically geared towards non-accountants exist.
