You’re not lost—you’re just trying to build something real without a real plan.
Starting a bookkeeping business is one thing.
Running it in a way that actually makes sense? Whole different story.
Let me guess:
You’ve been stuck in “getting ready” mode for… a while now
You’ve signed a few clients—but every piece of the backend is duct tape and mild (or possibly mid-level+) panic
You want a real business—not just a scramble of QuickBooks, Canva, and crossed fingers
You’ve got a dozen tabs open and no idea which one holds the answer
You’re not trying to build a big firm—you’re building a practice that fits your brain, your bandwidth, and your life
If your inner voice just whispered “okay but how are you in my head?”—you’re in the right place.
The Business of Bookkeeping™ was made for this.
What is The Business of Bookkeeping™?
Not just a course. A strategic reset—with actual structure.
The Business of Bookkeeping™ is a 12-week course designed to help solo bookkeepers build calm, profitable, and sustainable practices—without duct tape, burnout, or "just raise your rates" advice.
Inside, you’ll walk through the PILLAR Method™—a smart, step-by-step system for defining your vision, pricing your services, onboarding like a pro, and running your business like the clear, confident CEO you already are (you just needed a better plan).
No fluff.
No funnel hacks.
No bro-y energy or vague motivational speeches.
Just clarity, strategy, and the systems you’ve been missing—delivered week by week, in a way that actually makes sense.

What is The Business of Bookkeeping™?
Strategic by design. Human by default.
Most programs promise structure, but forget there’s an actual human behind the keyboard.
They’ll teach you the systems.
The tech.
The tactics.
But they leave out the part where you’re the one holding it all together.
(Usually with caffeine, crossed fingers, and a sticky note that says “figure this out.”)
The Business of Bookkeeping™ doesn’t skip that part.
It’s not about cramming your business into someone else’s mold.
It’s about building the kind of structure that supports how you think, work, and live.
So yes—you’ll walk away with offers, pricing, workflows, and growth plans.
But you’ll get there without burning out, spiraling, or opening yet another spreadsheet called “final FINAL version v7.”
Because you’re not here to run faster.
You’re here to build smarter.
Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Katie—founder of Brighten Bookkeeping Co., Brighten Collective, and creator of The Business of Bookkeeping™.
I’ve been in the bookkeeping world since 2009, and I’ve seen just about every version of this industry—from traditional firms to freelancer hustle to full-on burnout. When I launched my own practice, I knew I wanted to do things differently.
I didn’t want to build a run-of-the-mill, numbers-factory firm.
I wanted to build a business that actually worked—for me, my brain, and my life.
And that’s what I help other bookkeepers do now, too.
This course is built on everything I wish someone had handed me when I was starting out—and everything I’ve learned supporting smart, emotionally intelligent, values-driven bookkeepers and service providers over the past decade (and then some).
Whether you’re starting from scratch or rethinking the whole thing?
You’ll feel at home here.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or rethinking the whole thing?
You’ll feel at home here.
You’ll walk away with:
-
01
A brand that makes sense—and makes decisions easier.
Not just a logo and a vibe. We’re talking about a values-based identity that guides everything from your offers to your boundaries. -
02
Services you actually want to deliver.
No more “sure, I can do that” packages. You’ll scope and structure your offers like a calm, confident pro. -
03
Pricing that works—for your clients and your capacity.
Strategic, clear, and no longer based on panic or “what feels fair.” -
04
Systems that reduce decision fatigue (and spirals).
Onboarding, workflows, file naming conventions—it all lives here now. Not in your head. -
05
A visibility plan that doesn’t make you want to disappear.
Because you don’t need to hustle on social to get great clients. You just need a strategy that fits how you actually want to show up. -
06
A real plan—and the confidence to follow through.
Because the goal isn’t to become some version of “professional” that burns you out.
It’s to build a business that works for you—on purpose, with a plan, and on your terms.
This isn’t about becoming a better bookkeeper.
It’s about finally running a business that reflects how good you already are.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Nope. You don’t need a certification or a full client roster—but this course is built for people who already know how to do the books. If you’ve taken a program, worked in admin or finance, or taught yourself and want to turn that skill into a real, sustainable business? You’re in the right place.
-
This is the first official round of The Business of Bookkeeping™. You’ll get the full course experience at a lower price, and in return, you’ll be invited (not required) to share feedback and a kind testimonial. Everything’s been fully built, tested, and polished—but you’ll be part of shaping how this course evolves. You’ll also get lifetime access to future updates at no extra cost.
-
The first module is ready and waiting for you. You’ll get a welcome email the moment you enroll, access to the Start Here module and module 1, and then, after that, new modules release weekly over 12 weeks. But you’ll have lifetime access—I am all-too-aware that life can definitely get a little life-y, especially this time of year, so there’s absolutely no pressure and you can move at your own pace.
-
The core content is delivered through a mix of short videos, written guides, and customizable templates (in Google Docs, CSV, and other easy-to-use formats). It’s binge-proof and super practical—designed for real implementation, not information overload.
-
Most weeks, you’ll want to carve out 1–2 focused hours. Some modules might move faster, others might take a little more time depending on where you’re at. Either way, the course is built to support progress over perfection—no hustle required.
-
Nope—it’s self-paced, but not hands-off. You’ll get structured support through email office hours, a private student community, and recorded bi-weekly Q&A calls. This way, you get clarity when you need it—without being tied to someone else’s Zoom calendar.
-
Yes—within structure. You can submit questions anytime via inbox office hours, and they’ll be answered directly by me. There are also bi-weekly recorded Q&A sessions (with replays) and a private group where you can connect, troubleshoot, and ask questions.
-
There really isn’t such a thing. If and when life happens (and it will), just pick back up when you’re ready. You have lifetime access to the course and all future updates. The whole thing is built to be flexible, supportive, and realistic. No shame here.
-
Forever. This includes all future upgrades, improvements, new templates, and bonus content—at no additional cost.
-
That’s totally fine. The Dubsado module is an optional bonus designed to support students who do want to use it. You can still apply the same workflows and structure using another CRM or even a manual setup.
-
Then this course might be exactly what you need. You’ll get the tools and clarity to know for sure—and to move forward with confidence (or press pause with purpose). If the vision is there but the plan feels fuzzy? This was made for you.
-
Because this is a discounted beta round with instant access to digital content, refunds are not offered. Please only enroll if you’re feeling a strong yes.
