Here’s The Step-By-Step Plan to Launch Your Cloud-Based Bookkeeping Business, Land Your First Client In The Next 30 Days, And See How Brilliant Bookkeepers Are Building $2,000 - $16,000/ month (Part-Time) Income Streams…
No prior experience, certification, or college degree necessary!
I’m going to show you every single thing you need to know to become a Brilliant Bookkeeper who can perform every function necessary to have a long lasting, lucrative career. Plus, I’m going to hold your hand and help you get your first paying client in the next 30 days, so you can turn your dreams into a reality.
Dear Friend,
If you want to learn how to become a Brilliant Bookkeeper and get your first paying client in the next 30 days, then this is the most important message you’ll ever read.
Here’s why:
Right now, the world of “small businesses” is at an interesting crossroads.
You could even say that this is a “perfect storm” of an opportunity for people who want to start bookkeeping businesses.
There are millions (yes, millions) of business owners out there who are going to soon be without a bookkeeper for their business.
There’s an entire wave of “boomer bookkeepers” who are retiring and leaving the workforce.
They’re shutting down their practices and moving onto the next stage of life.
The thing is…
Despite this decline in boomer, old-guard bookkeepers… There's an insatiable demand for people who can do this work.
In 2023, 5.5 million NEW businesses were formed in the USA. EVERY one of them will need a bookkeeper at some point.
They’ll all need financial advice and guidance.
I can probably count on one hand how many of these entrepreneurs and founders actually want to manage the books for their business — it’s usually one of the first things they outsource as they grow! It’s something no business can live without.
YOU can (and should) be the person who jumps in and helps them.
YOU can (and should) learn how to become a bookkeeper, one of the most in-demand and important roles every business needs filled.
YOU can (and should) jump into this opportunity with two feet… because you’re going to be shocked with how simple and logical it is..
On top of that…
Getting bookkeeping clients is probably one of the least intimidating and least “hostile” sales processes out of any business you’ve ever tried.
The truth is…
Over 50% of entrepreneurs are unhappy with their bookkeepers. And the other 50% don’t even have one.
So if you know two entrepreneurs… there’s a good chance you’ve already got your first one (or two) clients!
Bookkeeping Is Your Ticket To Freedom:
Time Freedom, Location Freedom, Choice Freedom, and Financial Freedom
I know, I know…
That’s kind of a gutsy thing to say, right?
I mean…
We’re talking about bookkeeping here!
Let me explain why…
Before I go any further, I should probably introduce myself.
Hi, I’m Kristin Meador, and I’m your accounting guru, financial forecaster, and money best friend.
My story is probably pretty similar to yours. I always knew that I wanted a career in accounting, put myself through college getting both a B.S. and M.S. in Accounting, and received my CPA licensure in 2015. I landed the perfect 9-5 job at a Big 4 Firm and started working my way up the corporate ladder.
Except, there was a problem…
Everything was perfectly, boringly bland.
I loved accounting, but something was missing. I felt like I was going to spend the next 40 years of my life trapped at the same desk, in the same office, day in and day out… never experiencing the world.
It wasn’t fulfilling my soul.
I knew I needed something more.
Traveling the world was always something I’d wanted to do but didn’t think I had the time or ability because of my limited vacation days. It was a dream I didn’t think was achievable.
Except, I’d been bitten by the travel bug. And the dream wouldn’t let me go.
So, I drew a line in the sand.
I started listening to travel podcasts and became obsessed with thinking about where I would go if I could.
I had a talk with my then boyfriend (now husband).
I said, “We’ve only got one shot. We can roll the dice and take a chance. I think we can make this work.”
He agreed.
We were going to do it.
We were going to take the plunge.
If we failed, we could always chalk it up to a “career gap year” and go crawling back to the cubicle. We figured that was the worst-case scenario.
We saved $30K and quit our day jobs. We spent the next seven months traveling through 20 different countries, and it was the greatest adventure of my life.
All of this was possible because before we left, I launched my cloud-based bookkeeping business.
Life was never the same after that.
I knew that I could never go back to a regular 9-5 day job. I wanted to continue my career with accounting, but I wanted to be a digital nomad while working. And most (if not all) typical accounting jobs didn’t work like that.
My business (Gradient Accounting) was born to fulfill all of my passions: being a digital nomad, working as an accountant, and helping my fellow small business owners achieve all of their travel dreams.
Now…
I want to help YOU do the same.
Starting my Cloud-Based Bookkeeping Business Was The Best Career Decision I Ever Made
Sometimes people look at me funny when I tell them what I do.
After all…
They see my traveling the world, going on fun adventures, living life on my own terms. And making a lot of money in the process.
They can’t seem to wrap their head around it all.
It doesn’t make sense to them.
That’s because bookkeeping, specifically Brilliant Bookkeeping, is a “best kept secret” profession. And most people have ZERO clue just how lucrative and fun it can be.
Why Bookkeeping Will Change Your Life
Nowadays, everyone has a side hustle.
And they all sound sexier than the last.
Most people flock to the marketing or creative fields. A lot of people want to be a copywriter, ad manager, lead generator, social media manager, virtual assistant, or an “AI this”… a “crypto that”... or whatever.
Listen…
Those are cool professions. If that’s where your heart is leading you… then by all means, follow that dream.
But if you know that bookkeeping is the career for you, you are setting yourself up for success.
You can have virtually zero competition.
You can “name your price” for your fees.
You can operate with >90% profit margins.
And you can earn as much money as you’d like.
You have to understand something:
The Average Bookkeeping Client Only Takes 5 Hours A Month of Your Time.
And most bookkeepers charge $500 - $1,000 per month, per client. That puts you at a range of $100 - $200/hour.
That means if you wanted to go crazy and grow a big bookkeeping business… you could take on sixteen clients in total, work for 20 hours a week, and earn $16,000 every month.
Show me another side hustle where you can earn more than a doctor, in your spare time.
There are people working at major banks, investment firms, and other traditional “high status” white collar jobs that aren’t earning anywhere near close to that.
And they still have to get in a car, drive to the office every day, and sit in a cubicle.
They still have to work 40-60 hours a week + a commute.
Life flies by.
Some of these people will be stuck in that cube for the rest of their lives.
Meanwhile, bookkeepers could earn multiple six-figures while still working part time hours, from anywhere in the world.
Do you get how insane this is?
For most of human history, these opportunities have never been available, especially not to people like you and me.
But…
With the rise of cloud-based accounting software, there’s been an explosion in opportunity to become a Brilliant Bookkeeper.
“This all sounds great, but I’m not a bookkeeper and I have no idea what I’m doing.”
I hear this a lot.
The truth is…
Bookkeeping isn’t hard.
Sure, there’s a lot to learn.
But it’s pretty logical.
Money flows into a business, and it has to be categorized.
Expenses flow out, and they have to be categorized.
That’s the gist of it. You use cloud-based software (that you can access anywhere with an internet connection) to manage this paper trail.
These cloud-based accounting softwares integrate with your clients other business apps. You get to “own” this part of the business’s operations. You simply bring order to the chaos. Which is perfect if you’re a bit Type A, like me.
Bookkeeping, by itself, is important.
But, here’s the thing…
I don’t want to just help you become a bookkeeper. I want to turn you into a BRILLIANT Bookkeeper.
What’s the difference between a Brilliant Bookkeeper and a “normal bookkeeper”?
Brilliant is a marketplace differentiator. Brilliant is defined as someone extremely intelligent or skilled. It is also used to describe someone or something that is full of light, shining, and vibrant in color. Brilliance is an energy! We want our Brilliant Bookkeeper community to embody this energy.
Brilliant Bookkeepers are lifestyle designers. They work from wherever they want, whenever they want, and have financial peace of mind knowing that they are making additional, scalable income.
One thing I’ve learned after working with dozens of clients in all different types of industries:
Clients don’t just want someone to “reconcile the books.”
Sure, that’s an important part of the job.
What they really want is someone they can trust who can help them understand the finances of their business.
They want help “reading the tea leaves.”
You might think you’re a beginner bookkeeper right now… but most of the business owners you meet have ZERO knowledge of how their books work.
And that’s… kind of scary, to be honest.
After all…
Good bookkeeping keeps entrepreneurs out of jail.
That shouldn’t frighten you.
It’s just that so many entrepreneurs “risk it” each year with shoddy books, because they don’t have YOU in their corner.
They’re winging it… hoping to get around to organizing the books “someday”... which really means NEVER.
Then, they get audited.
They can’t sort through the mess that’s accumulated over the past twelve months.
The paper trail is a nightmare to sort through.
And, sadly, some business owners get slammed. Pretty hard.
It’s not fun!
A Brilliant Bookkeeper is someone who becomes the rock in a storm, for the business owner. You might even find yourself as a confidant or consigliere to some of your clients. Because when you understand the books… you understand the business.
You CANNOT get a read on the health of a business unless you have good books.
It’s impossible.
This role has to be filled for a company to succeed.
There are millions of business owners who are desperate for someone like you to step in and help them out.
If I could say one more thing…
Bookkeeping is a bulletproof career choice.
In the event of a recession, people sometimes lose their jobs.
BUT…
You know who a business owner CAN’T fire?
Their bookkeeper.
Imagine the storm of chaos that would ensue if a successful business’s books all of a sudden vanished!
You are the last person to get cut off the roster.
If you are somewhat proactive and follow the system I show you… you are going to become your client’s favorite person in their entire organization.
Brilliant Bookkeepers typically have 90%+ profit margins.
Do you understand just how LITTLE is required to build this business? If you have a Gmail account you can get started. That’s it. (And don’t worry if you don't, it's super easy to get set up.)
Cash will flow into your business. You’ll have minimal expenses for software. Your profit margins are insane. You have no “cost of goods sold.”
Plus…
With your own LLC, you’ll be able to “spend first and get taxed on what’s left over” for a lot of ordinary expenses you used to have to pay personally.
This is huge for your own personal finances.
What’s more…
Brilliant Bookkeeping is AI-Proof
Some people are worried that AI is going to replace bookkeepers.
Sure, AI might change things.
In a good way, though.
Here’s how I like to think of it:
Did you ever have someone come to replace your kitchen cabinets or countertop?
I bet they used one of those “laser measuring tools” to measure out the dimensions. It’s funny… because those lasers are a relatively new invention.
This new technology didn’t replace your contractor. It actually made them even MORE valuable.
They not only were able to get the job done faster… their measurements were now 100x more precise, then when they had to do it by hand.
The same is true in bookkeeping.
AI is going to help you become a more precise bookkeeper.
It’s going to eliminate a lot of the grunt work and leave all of the fun stuff for you.
Because this job isn’t just about clicking buttons to categorize transactions. This is about being the person who helps a business owner “read the tea leaves” to see the financial health of their business.
And that’s something that will always require a human touch.
Do you want to be a trusted advisor to your clients… or just be “the help”?
AI isn’t going to eliminate opportunity, it’s going to create it.
Businesses in the finance industry have been using forms of AI and machine learning since the 1950s (not a typo).
Did the rise of Intuit in 1983 replace human bookkeepers?
No.
Did the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet replace human bookkeepers?
Again, no.
The truth is, there is more opportunity than ever before. And that is BECAUSE of these advances in technology.
Let the AI handle all the boring stuff…
Your clients are going to love it. Because you’ll be able to spend more of YOUR time advising, analyzing, and doing higher-level work.
Bookkeeping is Introvert-Proof
If you’re an introvert, you might be a little hesitant to start your own business or side hustle. You might be intimidated about launching a new career.
Bookkeeping is one of the most introvert-friendly fields out there.
It’s largely asynchronous — you get to work on your own schedule. You’re 100% independent.
In fact…
If you follow my system, you’ll only have to have a call with your clients twice a year. Everything else — all of your work, your monthly updates, and other communications — can happen through email.
Pretty cool!
Brilliant Bookkeeping is Procrastinator Proof
I am going to hold your hand through every step of this process.
You are going to have small, digestible bits of homework to do that will help you actually LAUNCH your Brilliant Bookkeeping business… instead of just “learning about it.”
If you do the work, I am going to help you succeed.
If you follow the system I laid you, you are going to crush it.
"But why would a business owner hire ME instead of going with a big firm?"
Ok, sure.
Now you get why someone like YOU could get hired… and why you might even be a better option than a bigger firm.
The thing is…
Most “big firms” put their clients on the backburner… while they chase bigger accounts.
If you’ve owned a business, you’ve probably experienced this with some of the agencies and firms you worked with.
Most of these bigger firms are REACTIVE instead of PROACTIVE.
That means the business owner usually has to be the one nagging the bookkeeping team for help… which is super annoying.
A Brilliant Bookkeeper is proactive, keeps the business owner on track, and removes all the stress and friction from the process.
Most business owners like the idea of an asynchronous contractor relationship.
They get to save money on perks and taxes that they’d normally have to pay if you were a typical employee. You manage yourself and don’t need babysitting. And you get to offer advantageous fees that make your services even more attractive than a big expensive firm.
But you still might be wondering:
“Would a business owner really pay me $500 - $1,000/month to do this? I know it might work for other people… but would it really work for me?”
The short answer is… yes.
Even at $1,000/month… that’s only $12,000/year in total comp.
Do you have any idea what your client would have to pay if they had to hire a full-time employee to do this?
They’d be out of pocket for $40,000 - $50,000… and that’s not including perks, employment taxes, benefits, health insurance, 401k, etc.
So to ONLY pay $1,000 a month for bookkeeping services? That is an absolute STEAL for your clients.
If you owned a business, would you rather hire a full time employee who you have to pamper and babysit and hope and pray they actually do their job the right way.
Or…
Would you rather hire a contractor (like yourself) who is autonomous, asynchronous, doesn’t need benefits, doesn’t need their hand held, and charges a fraction of a typical employee.
Make sense?
Do you believe me yet?
Ok, well also consider this:
The businesses you’re going to be working with will likely fall in the $300,000/year to $3,000,000/year range.
That means each business will be making between $25,000/month to $250,000/month in revenue.
Some might make even more.
Do you think there’s a huge difference between $500 and $1,000 to someone who’s receiving $250,000/month in revenue?
If a business is generating close to $10,000/day… Do you think your monthly fee of $1,000/month (which comes out to ~$33.33/day) means much?
It’s barely a noticeable expense on the P&L statement.
Which is GOOD for you.
Now…
I know you’re probably “sold” on this by now.
But you still might be wondering…
“Don’t I need to be an accountant?”
Short answer:
Absolutely not!
Long answer:
Bookkeeping is an easily learned skill. We will equip you with all the skills and tools you need to take care of your client’s books… AND we’ll also show you all the steps to seal the deal with your new client(s)!
Listen — we respect the profession and love all our CPAs, EAs, and practicing accountants with those professional degrees and designations — but none of these things are required to help an entrepreneur or small business owner take the mental load of bookkeeping off their plate or make financial sense of how their business is really doing.
They need a trusted partner, not a credential.
You simply need to CARE as much about their business as they do and apply the skills you learn inside our program — and then keep growing those Brilliant Bookkeeping skills every single day. It's time to start putting what you don't have behind you and realize you have nothing to lose but a brilliant future ahead! ;)
“Don’t I need a college degree or certification to do this?”
I mean, sure…
You CAN go back to school and get a degree in accounting, if you want. But that’s going to cost you four years of your life and anywhere from $100,000 - $250,000.
And the messed up thing is: you’re going to learn a whole bunch of accounting theory that’ll have ZERO crossover to the actual day-to-day work you’ll do with your clients, which will be businesses in the $300,000 - $3,000,000/year revenue range.
If you go the college route, you might even have to “unlearn” some bad habits and beliefs about this kind of work, before you can even get started.
The truth is…
Bookkeeping isn’t quantum physics.
You’re not trying to put a person on the moon… or solve world hunger.
It’s a very simple, logical system of managing a set of finances and metrics.
It’s something anyone can learn.
Yes, it does take a bit of time. There is some work involved. Duh!
But it’s learnable.
It’s figureoutable.
It’s doable.
You don’t need to be an accountant or have a degree or anything like that. In fact, business owners don’t care. They hire someone who they feel can do the job best. That's true for every role.
I will show you everything you need to be successful.
Because I WAS you. I’ve walked a mile in your shoes. I’ve stood where you’re standing. I have been there. And now, I’d like to personally work with you to help you launch your career as a Brilliant Bookkeeper.

(More on that in just a sec!)
Here’s Why It’s Different From Other Bookkeeping Programs You’ve Seen
Most of the other bookkeeping programs range from $1,000… to $3,000… and beyond.
Insane!
They know they can charge these insane fees because they know they're competing with universities who are charging five-figures for the same “knowledge.”
But I want to change all that.
I’m here to show you how accessible starting a bookkeeping business is without paying thousands of dollars and spending years going to school.
Brilliant Bookkeeper is different (and better) for a few reasons:
- We cut out all the fluff and only teach you what you’ll need “on the job.” Sure, we could wade into some 400-level collegiate accounting concepts… but is that really necessary if you’re never going to actually do anything with it? Probably not.
- Brilliant Bookkeeper is streamlined and practical. It’s designed to get you working with clients as fast as possible. Bookkeeping takes some time to learn, sure. But it shouldn’t take MONTHS. You can learn 98% of everything you’ll need in a matter of weeks (or days) with our curriculum.
- This is the ONLY course that’ll teach you how to become an ADVISOR to your clients, not just a plain old bookkeeper. We want you to become a linchpin who can charge premium fees and retain clients forever. We want you to develop a skill set that goes beyond just categorizing transactions. We are going to teach you a simple system for “reading the tea leaves” in a business’s financial statement so you become truly indispensable to your clients. This is what’s going to help you charge premium fees and earn what you deserve.

You’ll see all of the duties, roles, and responsibilities… so you can deliver a "dream come true" result for your clients.

Cloud-based software makes bookkeeping 100x easier than it used to be… IF you know what you’re doing.
I’ll be walking you through the simple tech stack I use for all of my clients. You’ll become a "software ninja" in a matter of hours… and you’ll know your way around the tools you’ll be using every day with your clients.
The “tech stuff” might sound intimidating… but I’m going to break it down in a simple, easy to understand way so you can operate like a pro.
Cloud-based accounting software is like a wizard’s wand in your hands. You’ll love how much time and energy these tools will save you.
This is the “meat and potatoes” module.

This module will show you how to perform routine reconciliations and send financial reports to your clients.
If you follow what I show you here, your workload for each client will be five hours tops… most likely even less.
The end of the year can be a stressful time for most business owners. That is… until you show up and save the day!
This module shows the process I use to ensure we get organized before the end of the year, so tax filings are a breeze.
You’ll learn how to prepare 1099s, close the books, work with your clients’ tax preparation team, and how to review their tax return for accuracy.
If you’re worried about looking like you’re brand new to a potential client… this module will set your mind at ease.
I’m going to show you how to set up YOUR business, so you can operate with maximum efficiency and look like a true professional when speaking with potential clients.
In fact…
I’m going to show you how to set up your own business in 90 minutes flat, so awesome!
Client acquisition sounds intimidating. But as a bookkeeper… It's actually quite effortless.
There’s no “hard close” or hostile negotiation involved. Most of the time, clients are desperate for a Brilliant Bookkeeper like you.
This module will show you simple ways to find potential clients and how to win their business like a pro… even if you’re an introvert and HATE sales.
This module is a lot of fun… because it’s where you get paid!!!
It’s time for the rubber to meet the road.
We’ll discuss getting your first client and how to grow from there.
The cool thing about our Brilliant Bookkeeper model is that the sky is truly the limit.

I’ll lay out the paths you can take.
It’s going to be an exciting journey!
How Much Is Brilliant Bookkeeper?

Our goal is to help you land your first paying client within the next 30 days.
Other bookkeeping courses typically sell for in the $3,000 range.
College courses cost even more.
We think this is crazy.
You’re at the beginning of a new journey. You shouldn’t have to spend an entire mortgage payment on a course, no matter how good it is.
We’d rather see you keep that excess cash and put it to good use, elsewhere.
That’s why Brilliant Bookkeeper is available today for only
$597
$ 997
Your very first client will more than pay for the course itself. And after that… it’ll be almost pure profit.
This special pricing is only available while you are watching this presentation/on this page. If you click off, or go anywhere else on our site, you’ll be paying full price.
Here’s the really good news:
I’m going to PERSONALLY coach you and help you get a client in the next 30 days inside the Brilliant Bookkeeper Coaching Program
As part of this course, I’m going to be giving you one free month inside our Brilliant Bookkeeper coaching community.
This is a private group only for members of the Brilliant Bookkeeper course. Once inside, I will help you work through each step of the system, give you support and feedback, and give you advice and feedback on how to go about acquiring and closing your first few clients.
I believe getting monthly coaching and feedback is absolutely crucial for your success.
Especially when you’re first starting out.
Although this course is comprehensive, certain situations may arise where you need an expert to turn to who can guide you to success.
The good news is, as soon as you join, I will take you under my wing and help you go through every single step of the process… so it’s almost impossible to mess up.
And as an added bonus, as a part of the community you get access to 2 live coaching sessions per month as part of our ongoing community training program.

Plus… here’s what’s really cool:
Some people are worried about “What happens after the first free month… I don’t want to be paying $37/month for the rest of my life.”
Well, you won’t be.
And even if you did want to stay in for a long time (especially once you see the kind of money you can make when you start offering this service to clients) we made it super-affordable for you to do so.
YOUR FIRST PAYING CLIENT WILL COVER
THE ENTIRE COURSE AND THE NEXT 50 MONTHS OF
COACHING & SUPPORT
Think about how much you could earn with just one client in 50 months. If you charge on the low end of the industry average at $500/month… you could earn $25,000 in that time.
Or… if you decided to take on two clients… you could earn $50,000 in that time.
Compare that to the microscopic monthly investment for the personalized coaching, guidance, support and feedback you get from both of us every single day.
It’s a no-brainer decision.
So, remember…
You’ll automatically be granted access to this group as part of your enrollment. If you decide you’d like to stay in the group after your free month, you can do so for just $37/month and get all the help, support, coaching, feedback and accountability you need.
Bear in mind that, I charge my clients $1,000 a month for the same level of access and mentorship from me. So for $37 a month, it’s a steal!
However, if you just want to invest in this course and do everything on your own… simply let us know and we will cancel your membership at any time with no hassles. You can even cancel the membership 60 seconds after you order if you really wanted to. It’s your call.
You can still keep the entire course for the rest of your life, whether you cancel the ongoing coaching or not. And you can always re-join in the future if you do cancel.
Is There A Guarantee?
Of course.
You’re covered by a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee.
There are some stipulations though:
We want to make sure that, if you join, you actually give this a shot.
So, join today.
Go through all the lessons, complete all the quizzes, join the Brilliant Bookkeeper Community and get the help you need, and actually go out there and try to land clients.

It’s Now Or Never...
You’re at a crossroads.
This is a big decision.
You’re about to embark on an amazing new adventure into a career that’s going to give you all the fulfillment and income you ever wanted.
The only thing is…
Time is of the essence.
Because in exactly 5 days, the doors to this special offer close, after that…
You’ll be paying the full price of $997.
Second, if you put this off now… there’s a good chance you’ll never do it.
When most people say, “I need more time to think about it”... they wind up talking themselves out of it. Or putting it off for another day that never comes.
Listen:
You know you want to do this.
You know this is right for you.
You know you CAN do this, especially because I am going to help you every step of the way.
What’s stopping you?
You’ve never done this before?
So what?
Had you ever driven before you got behind the wheel of a car for the first time? No.
Had you ever bought a house before you took the leap to purchase your first home? No.
Life is full of “first times” and “never done it befores.”
And the only way you’re going to know if it’s for you is if you try it in the first place.
So if you want to be a bookkeeper… then join Brilliant Bookkeeper today.
You need to talk with your spouse?
Absolutely!
I would never suggest doing this without them knowing.
Before I took the leap I had many discussions with my husband about why this was the right choice for us.
So have a chat with them, explain why this is good for both you and them.
Explain how it’s not only going to help you contribute more money to the household… but also how it’s going to help free up your time and enable you both to live a more fun and enjoyable life.
I’m assuming they DO want you to be happy, right? So supporting you as you chase your dreams shouldn’t be an issue.
You’re scared to approach a client?
Let me ask you a question…
What’s the worst that’s going to happen?
They’ll say no… and… you’ll be right back where you are now? Is that really that bad?
Would you take a “no” to the face if it meant the next person you spoke with put $1,000 in your hand every single month?
“$597 seems like a lot of money…”
The truth is… whether you buy this course or not, you’re going to spend that money.
It’s going to go towards clothes, or Doordash, or maybe some cheap bottles of wine at Trader Joe’s.
So you can spend the money on something that gives you nothing more than a fleeting good feeling… turning $597 into exactly $0.
Or you can INVEST in yourself and use that $597 and multiply it into $1,000, $3,000, Tens of thousands of dollars a year.
You can always make more money. You can’t make more time.
So think about it…
If you pass on this, you’ll just go blow that money somewhere else… and you’ll have nothing to show for it. You’ll still be in the same position you’re in now. You’ll still be unhappy with your circumstances.
Literally NOTHING will change.
“I’m not sure if I can do this…”
Don’t you want to find out?
There are millions of people around the world who have worked as a bookkeeper. Do you really think that ALL OF THEM can do this… but you can’t?
I guarantee there is someone with half the brains, half the heart, and half the hustle as you who is doing this job as we speak. And they’re probably doing a decent job. And I bet their client would be THRILLED if someone like YOU came their way… because you’d probably be a step up from the mediocre person they’re forced to work with now.
“I don’t know if this is the right time…”
I’ll let you in on a little secret…
You’re right. It’s NOT the right time. But you should do this anyway.
Know why?
Because it’s never going to be the right time. Your life isn’t going to get less busy until you find a way to work less, make more, and secure an asynchronous and location-independent line of work, like bookkeeping.
Whether you do this course now or in a year… the time is going to pass.
Except if you wait a year, you’ll be another year older. You’ll have one less year of life to enjoy.
I don’t know where you’re currently at on this chart… but time will march on whether you chase your dreams or not.
The #1 regret people have on their deathbed is that they didn’t “chase their dreams when they had a chance.”
Your life and career will end.
Can you really afford to waste it doing something you hate?
Are you going to look me in the eye and say “the life of my dreams isn’t worth $597”?
Listen to me.
You can do this.
I will help you.
I believe in you.
Maybe no one has ever told you that before. Maybe no one has ever believed you can do great things.
This is your chance to prove them wrong.
But, don’t do it for them.
Do it for yourself.
Let me help you live the life of your dreams.

FAQ
Brilliant Bookkeeper comes with one FREE month in our Brilliant Bookkeeper community, which is an online community and includes your fellow students who are just as motivated as you are to work through the course.
Your instructor, Kristin, will be hosting the community, and she’s there to answer any questions that come up as you work through each module of the course. She will also be hosting bi- weekly coaching calls, where you get to learn the hottest new tips and tricks in bookkeeping and ask any questions you might have.
We’re currently going through a “switching of the guard” as boomer bookkeepers are retiring, leaving an entire swath of business owners without a bookkeeper. On top of that, over 5 million businesses were started in the last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and all of them have books that will need to be kept.
No, not at all! AI is actually helping bookkeepers work more efficiently, and it’s why we’ve included an entire bonus module that explains how to use AI to your advantage). In fact, "The World Economic Forum (WEF) has issued numerous reports forecasting how AI will impact jobs worldwide. In fact, their analysts predict that automation will result in an increase of 58 million jobs, two-thirds of which will be highly skilled.”
No, our course teaches you the exact steps to go from “I don’t know what I’m doing” to “I’ve landed my first client.” Our instructor is a practicing bookkeeper who teaches you how to use bookkeeping software, how to keep books for a business, what “keeping books” actually means, how to set up your business, how to find clients, and more.
Brilliant Bookkeeper is also packed with 14 bonuses to jumpstart your business even faster.
There are no qualifications to become a bookkeeper. Some people do have degrees or go through formal training, but it is not necessary at all. The most important thing is that you are able to demonstrate your proficiency in keeping books for a business owner, and that’s what you learn in Brilliant Bookkeeper.
No, you don’t need a certification to work as a bookkeeper. There are bookkeeping certification programs out there, but most require that you have hundreds or even thousands of hours of working experience before you are able to apply for your certification.
Yes, you can earn a living working as a part-time or full-time bookkeeper. Our course trains you to earn $2,000 to $16,000/month as a remote bookkeeper. That means you can make a good living or earn a solid side hustle income working from home or while you travel.
Yes, bookkeepers aren’t doing complex math equations — the majority of the job is setting up accounts in easy-to-use bookkeeping software and using logic to categorize transactions to their appropriate “home” in the software. The software adds everything up and does any necessary equations for you.
Yes, you will need a laptop or desktop computer and a solid internet connection to work as a bookkeeper. You don’t need the newest computer by any means, but this is work that’s best done on a computer, not a tablet or phone.
Brilliant Bookkeeper is a self-paced course and comes with lifetime access, so you take as much time as you need to complete the course. However, the more time you’re able to commit to the course, the sooner you land paying clients. Our preferred method is to complete the course and have your first paying client landed within 30 days, which we believe is do-able with a 5-10 hour per week commitment.
