ARE YOU READY TO MASTER THE ART OF BOOKKEEPING?

Do you..

  • know you need to get on top of your books, and you want to use the latest accounting software but no idea where to begin?
  • know that the numbers in your business are a key part of your success, but they seem terrifying?
  • know your budget isn’t big enough to invest in someone else doing your bookkeeping for you, as much as you wish you could hand it all over and wash your hands clean of them forever (shuddering at the very thought of having to look at them!)?
  • feel terrified if you mess it up the ATO is going to come knocking at your door and put you in jail?
  • just don’t wanna do it! You’ve tried to do it before and found yourself lost, confused and feeling like crap.
  • want to be proactive in your new business and get good training so your numbers are in order from day 1!

IMAGINE THIS:

Feeling confident enough to manage your bookkeeping, no stress, no anxiety, just structure, ease and grace…

If your finances didn’t give you the heebie-jeebies?

If you logged into your Xero file each week, knew how to reconcile your bank, understand where you were at with your invoicing, knew that you were being as efficient as possible and best of all knew exactly where you were at financially – no stress?!

By signing up for the Basic Bookkeeping Course, you will feel confident and empowered to handle your business finances on your own! How good does that sound?

My approach to teaching is supportive and patient. I make sure you feel comfortable asking all your questions, understand the work we complete and know exactly how to implement it when I am not around.

There is no mumbo-jumbo accounting language (unless I can’t get around it then I promise I will explain it thoroughly!). This course is all about simplicity and about you knowing the easiest and fastest ways to get your bookkeeping done accurately.

It is time to get your bookkeeping Sorted!

the Basic Bookkeeping Course

6 modules, 6 weeks, live classes

The Basic Bookkeeping Course is an intimate group training course designed to help you tackle all things Xero.

The key difference this course has over all the other Xero bookkeeping courses is that it is live and there is only ever 10 students per class. That means you show up to class, I teach you each topic, you ask questions and I guide you through the implementation.

After the session all you need to do is repeat regularly!

My previous students love the way my sessions run because they feel accountable, supported and that there is a judgement-free space where they can learn.

For 6 weeks we meet via zoom each Friday at 10am for 2 hours. Each session starts with an empowerment or focus practice so that your mind is ready to absorb the information completely and you are open to attracting your desires.

All sessions are recorded and you get access forever. That means if you forget how to do something you will be able to look back, get an update and implement again with no additional cost.

What makes this different from other courses?

The Basic Bookkeeping course isn’t just another bookkeeping course where you will spend 6 weeks trying your best to stay focused and stop yourself from yawning.

This course is all about efficiency, accuracy and keeping you focused on what you want. We achieve this by:

  1. Classes are live – you are accountable and have live help as questions pop up!

  2. Classes are tailored to the students in them! It isn’t just generic lessons that feel like they don’t apply to you, I will let you know if it is relevant or not for your business.

  3. It’s for the ladies (and those who identify as one) because we are wired differently and I encourage a more feminine approach to business.

  4. I will check in on you constantly to make sure you are following along, absorbing the content and able to implement.

  5. Everything is sprinkled with mindset and manifesting techniques. I strongly believe that aligning your energy with your desires and actions makes so so much difference. Most of what you can do is about believing you can do it!

  6. You get access for ever. That means you have replays, videos and a telegram group you can use long term.

  7. You are taught by a Chartered Accountant who truely cares about the outcomes in your business.

The results.

The Basic Bookkeeping Course will provide you with all the knowledge you need to complete and stay on top of your bookkeeping.

It means you don’t need to invest in a bookkeeper and your accountant will get better information at tax time (hello more tax deductions).

Most importantly – you WON’T be feeling stressed about all the work that needs to be done on your finances.

You WILL be able to complete your bookkeeping effortlessly and easily.

You WILL be able to open up your xero file and run a report that tells you accurately how your business is progressing.

You WILL be able to confidently complete your bookkeeping on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

You WILL have new manifesting and mindset practices to help you build up confidence in your business and stay empowered through the tough times.

You WILL have a support network to turn to.

You WILL learn how to Make Money Beautiful.

You WILL make significant progress towards creating the business you have always desired.

It’s never too early or too late to start learning

I'm Your new business Money Guide..

I am passionate about educating women in business. My purpose is to help women to create highly successful businesses that are integrated with a beautiful life. My courses do this by combining practical bookkeeping advice with manifesting and mindset practices. The combination of the two creates balance, empowerment and a recipe for success.

I am a Chartered Accountant who has been advising small businesses for over 12 years. I have always loved to teach others and as early as my uni degree this has naturally occurred. My friends and I would get together at uni to complete our homework and it would end up being me standing at the whiteboard explaining the answer.

I love to see people gain new knowledge and flourish because of it. This is why I created Penny School. I knew that women need a different approach to most men and I knew that most women were not focusing on the financial side of their business.

The Basic Bookkeeping Course was born when I saw the need in my current client base. Many small business women need a cheaper option to learn about bookkeeping, but in a way they actually absorb it all. That is why I always focus on real world examples, make sure you feel supported, and soften the learning with mindset practices.

I love using Xero and helping my clients improve the way they use it because it makes our lives easier. I want your business journey to be one of joy, abundance and achievement, which is only possible when you feel confident, your numbers are in order and you are supported.

For my bigger clients, I manage their accounting teams so every day I am teaching, guiding and improving processes within Xero. For my smaller clients, I am their go to for questions. They know I will always be there to answer their big and small questions in a way that leaves them feeling good.


If you want an incredible business, you need to focus on your numbers so come join us for the first ever Basic Bookkeeping Course x

This is NOT for you if:

You want to learn to do your bookkeeping in Xero

You are not using and don’t want to use Xero for your bookkeeping

You want to spend as little time as possible staying on top of your bookkeeping

You don’t believe the numbers are important

You aren’t ready to learn the importance of bookkeeping 

You are a woman or identify as one

As Brian Tracy once said ‘Eat the Frog’. That is, get the crappy stuff out of the way sooner rather than later. It frees your mind up to focus on creativity instead of worry.

The sooner you start getting on top of your bookkeeping, the sooner you will be all over it! And the sooner you have more space for the good things in life instead of the concerns.

It is the beginning of a new financial year and the perfect time to focus on your numbers and set yourself up for a super successful year!

Sign up today so you can tick ‘becoming a money queen or a successful business manager’ off your to do list.

Confidential information

Your business numbers are all 100% confidential.
During this training, you will not be expected or asked to share any confidential information.
You do not have to say how much revenue you have earned, how much you pay in expenses, nor how much of a profit you are making.
As your teacher and your guide, it will be beneficial for you to show me your numbers but I will keep this information private.
In our classes, we will discuss how to complete tasks and at times you may want to share your numbers. This is completely up to you and how you feel about it.
We are in this together. We are not in this to embarrass anyone. This environment is judgement-free and all about honouring where you are at.

GOT QUESTIONS?

I hate to tell you this but you will have to spend this money or more. No matter what – well unless you don’t start your business at all.. You have to do your taxes, which means you have to do your bookkeeping. You either learn how to do it yourself and well so it doesn’t take much time or you pay someone else to do it for you. Paying someone else will be a far greater cost than this course and you won’t know if what they do is right or wrong…

Invest in your success x

Yes. You have to spend money on bookkeeping. It just depends how you want to spend that money. Do you want to invest in your own growth that will set you up for the future? Or do you want to invest that money in someone else doing it for you at a far higher cost?

You need to understand your numbers if you want a successful business and by doing this course you will get that basic understanding you need to know when you do hire a bookkeeper if they are doing their job well.

If you are too busy to do this it worries me what the state your numbers might be in… The sooner you sort it out, the sooner you can lift that weight you are carrying!

You get to prioritise what is important in your life and if a priority is your business, there is no getting around the need to create space to work on your numbers. Every business I have ever worked with who have gotten themselves into financial trouble had one commonality – the business owner wasn’t creating space to work on the numbers and understand exactly what they meant. It is also the number one reason businesses fail – a lack of financial acumen. Don’t become a statistic x

The course is a weekly 2 hour class. If you don’t have a backlog of bookkeeping to do it will only take you the two hours each week.

All you need to do is show up and I promise you I will help you build up your energy so you can focus on learning and implementing!

If you have a xero file or want to set one up, are in business or about to be, you need to understand your bookkeeping. It is really that simple. No previous experience necessary. I explain everything and if I see a blank look I will take the time to help you work through allowing the new knowledge to sink in properly.

This is exactly why my sessions are all live. I don’t buy online courses anymore for this very reason! I never finish them! But live training I know that all I need to do is show up. That is all you need to do x

I recommend every business owner does their bookkeeping for a while themselves so that they understand what it requires. Then when you do hire a bookkeeper you will know if they are doing it well and keeping you compliant with the ATO.
It is also a great way to save money in the early days of your business. Even if you have a bookkeeper you will need to give them information about a lot of transactions, which means double handling if you can’t do it yourself. So why not learn how to complete it efficiently and effectively, see if it fits in with your schedule longer term and if after 6 months it doesn’t hire someone to help.

Unfortunately this is not the course for you. I want you to really get everything from this course and if you can’t attend class you just won’t get your money’s worth and that is not my jam. I will be running this course again so keep an eye on my emails so you can join us next time.

If it is just one session you need to miss, sign up anyway as there will be replays available.

Ah to have a dollar for every time someone has said this to me… Most of my clients are creatives and think they don’t have a talent for numbers. It isn’t true, all of us have the ability to understand anything we want to that is taught in a digestible format.
Majority of bookkeeping has nothing to do with numbers anyway, it is mostly is categorising things to groups. I make sure everything is taught in bite size pieces and that you all understand properly. If I need to spend a bit of extra time to on one topic I will. I can guarantee if you come to class you will learn so much about your numbers and feel so much more at home with them.
