In this episode, I invited Stephanie Williams on the podcast who is the owner of The Book Belle, a virtual bookkeeping service, to explore the world of business finance, emphasizing the crucial roles of a bookkeeper and CPA. Join us as we unravel the importance of understanding your financials, building a supportive team, and fostering a healthy relationship with money.

I had such a good time chatting with her and although this episode is longer than usual, it's packed with so much experience and knowledge that we wish we both had when we got started.
In this episode we discuss:

• The difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA
• Building a supportive team
• How to hire a bookkeeper and CPA
• Money mindset and behavior
• Business growth and Identity Shifts
• Practical tips for business owners
