We’ve Been Right
Where You Are

We get it – starting your own business feels so risky. There are so many legal details, let alone figuring out what services you offer and how you price and deliver them. But what if you didn’t have to do any of that on your own?

Our founder has been in your same shoes – making the leap from the traditional path and striking out on her own. Since that start, she now serves 25+ clients herself while spending more time with her family than she ever has.

FAQs

The sweet spot is going to be companies with 1-15 employees and less than $10M in sales.  You’re looking to serve small businesses who are looking to outsource their accounting functions because you can do it more cost effectively than hiring a full time employee.

We will guide you using proven practices to help you source your clients.  Your clients are going to be your former classmate who opened a digital marketing firm, a cousin who owns 10 rental properties, a local non-profit you’ve been supporting, etc.  You’re not selling to the C-suite of a hundred million dollar firm, you’re going to be serving small business owners in your community / network.

This can be one of the most intimidating parts of starting a service business, but we will provide coaching on how to select the services you will offer, how to conduct competitive research, and ultimately how to set your prices.  Given your experience and the in-demand services you provide, you can expect to charge a minimum of $50/hour and likely no less than $200/mo per client.

The initial licensing fee is $12,000 and $4,000 due annually upon your anniversary date.

We recognize this is one of the biggest hurdles people face before stepping out and starting their own business.  We have teamed up with expert partners who offer a variety of benefit options.  Because you will be running your own business, you will have access to medical, dental, and vision benefits, as well as retirement plans, and business insurance.  

We know this can be a lonely road and we would love for you to join our team!  Please schedule time with our founder to discuss a discounted licensing fee based on your existing experience.
