Frequently Asked Questions:
✨ General Qs
Q: Who do you work with?
A: I work with two main groups:
→ Self-employed care providers (yoga teachers, massage therapists, estheticians, birth workers, mental health pros, salon owners, etc.) who want better support managing their money and business.
→ Working-class folks (hourly workers, freelancers, union members, tipped workers, the self-employed, etc.) who are done being overwhelmed by money and want tools that actually make sense.
If you’ve ever felt like money systems weren’t built for people like you...you’re in the right place.
Q: Are you available for one-off sessions or is it package only?
A: Both! Most of my offerings are in packages for deeper support, but I also offer one-off sessions for folks who want a quick strategy check-in or need help with something specific. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, reach out and we’ll figure it out together.
Q: Are your services virtual or in-person?
A: Everything I offer is remote and paperless. I work with folks all over the U.S. from my home base in Rochester, NY.
📚 Bookkeeping + Strategic Support
Q: What bookkeeping software do you use?
A: I work exclusively in QuickBooks Online (QBO). It’s secure, cloud-based, and offers the flexibility most solopreneurs need. If you're not on QBO yet, I can help you get set up the right way.
Q: Do you only work with people in the self-care industry?
A: Mostly, yes—that’s where I specialize. I understand the rhythms, cash flow quirks, and emotional labor of this kind of work because I live it too. But if you're doing values-driven service work as a solo business owner, let's talk.
Q: What if my books are a mess?
A: No shame here. I love a good clean-up project. Whether you're behind a few months or a couple years, I can get you caught up and back on track with clean, organized books and some clarity about what’s actually happening in your business.
Q: What’s the difference between bookkeeping and strategic support?
A: Bookkeeping is the day-to-day tracking of your income and expenses. Strategic support adds a layer of thoughtful analysis and planning—looking at the patterns in your finances, identifying red flags or opportunities, and helping you make confident decisions about your business.
💸 Personal Finance Coaching
Q: Is this like budgeting apps or credit repair services?
A: Nope. This is human, one-on-one support grounded in your real life. I won’t lecture you, shame you, or try to sell you a credit card. We’ll work together to make a plan that feels doable, clear, and aligned with your actual needs.
Q: Do I need to know anything about money before we start?
A: Absolutely not. You don’t need a spreadsheet, a Roth IRA, or a clue. We’ll start wherever you’re at.
Q: What if I’m really bad with money?
A: I promise you're not. You just haven't had access to support that makes sense for how you live and work. You're not too late, and you're not too far gone.
Q: Do you offer sliding scale pricing?
A: I do, for Personal Finance Coaching, but not for Bookkeeping & Strategic Support (yet). If cost is a concern, reach out and we’ll talk.
