Creative Digital Bookkeeping

If you own a digital agency and are struggling to build a financially secure and stable business…

Then you’re probably not spending enough time and effort into ensuring your books are working for you and not against you

If this sounds like you… then you’ll never be able to take your business to the next level as you’ll constantly be playing a guessing game.

And this is just the start…

There’s bookkeeping, then there’s managing your cash flow, ensuring all your bills are paid, employees are paid… and more.

So, if you’re looking to turn your agency into a more profitable machine, along with complete peace of mind that your books have been taken care of, then you’re in the right place.

I help people like you by providing a deeper understanding of your agency’s financial footing and provide guidance for any questions you may have.

What will this do for you?

It will ultimately give you the ability to take control of your money so that you can meet your financial goals.

I.e. GROWTH!

Overall, clients come to me when:

➡️ They are confused and don’t know where to start when it comes to bookkeeping

➡️ They need a better understanding of what their books are showing i.e. they can look at their bank balance and see how much money is in there but they don’t know how to become more profitable

However...

After working with me and my team, clients walk away with:

1️⃣ The peace of mind of knowing that their books are being taken care of i.e. they don’t have to know HOW it’s getting done or WHAT is getting done, but just that it IS getting done

2️⃣ Time-savings: Agency owners are extremely busy… They don’t have time to deal with their books and aren’t experts in regards to their financials

Most importantly, they have full control over their financials because know they know exactly where money is coming and going.

Student Intern

It didn't start out to me as a calling.

I created a bookkeeping company in the past, working with Digital Marketing Agencies. Analyzing financials and talking to clients was great, but I was burnt out by everything else. 

So I moved to programming in 2020. It felt good. Natural even. Soon I landed a job at a startup and later a position with a non-profit providing jobs for the blind. I liked the work and the mission, but I was missing something from my bookkeeping days

2022. I merged my enjoyment of programming with my bookkeeping experience to create MonkBe. A chrome extension that added features directly to QuickBooks Online to make bookkeepers' lives easier. 

I didn't realize it when I started MonkBe, but I stumbled into what I really love to do. Talking to accountants and bookkeepers online. Finding problems and figuring out how to develop a good solution! Everything clicked. 

Ultimately, that led to my current situation collaborating with Hector Garcia on a browser extension called "RightTool" that will revolutionize the way people work in QuickBooks Online, and eventually the accounting industry as a whole!
