Be honest,
you throw away
your bank statements.
Hey, we're not here to judge.
Every month your bookkeeper sends your financial statements. You might glance at them, double check you made money this month, but you probably just chuck ‘em in the trash.
No judgment. Why would you keep a piece of paper covered in numbers that don’t make sense to you?
Your bookkeeper’s job is to make sure every number is in its place. But they can’t connect those numbers to the dreams you have for your business.
So, you toss their reports, cross your fingers, and hope and pray you make money again next month.
But you can’t finance that gorgeous studio space, hire a new employee, or invest in new design software with hopes and prayers.
Your financial statements shouldn't intimidate you
You don't need a bookkeeper.
You need an accountant, financial planner, and business advisor rolled into one. You need someone who can tell you what all those neatly organized numbers actually mean.
Knowing what your reports are saying means you get to stop hoping you made money this month and start confidently planning the next five to ten years of your business.
You need to know that in two years you’ll be able to take a month off to tour Rome for inspiration. That you’re actually six months closer to hiring an assistant than you thought.
All of a sudden, you can plan ahead. You can build a roadmap for where your business is going. You can circle a date on the calendar for launch or book those plane tickets KNOWING that you’ll have the cash to do it.
Don't call me a bookkeeper.
Think CFO meets BFF instead.
Hi, I’m Nicole, the founder and face behind Scaled Strategies and I HATE it when people brush me off as a bookkeeper.
Creative entrepreneurs, like you, have literally paid me thousands of dollars to go in and clean their books up after someone they found in a Facebook group (who spent one hour getting certified) ruined their books.
I cut my teeth in the world of corporate accounting. Picture board meetings and office buildings. And, after years of advising big wigs in bad suits on how to make big money, I realized I hated it.
So, I started my business. Where I actually get to know my clients. I get to learn every dream you have for your business. It makes my heart all warm and fuzzy when the numbers all click together and you know exactly how to get to those dreams.
Yes, it sounds cheesy. But, I want to be in your corner helping you get from “I’d like to open my retail space one day” to “I’m hosting my grand opening this weekend.”
Let's build your business a roadmap.
Organize your numbers. Learn what they mean. Plan for the future. We want you to be totally involved with your finances and we’ll make it stupid simple for you.
Once we get comfy with your business you’ll know exactly what to expect each month. You’ll know what days you’ll get what reports and how those reports fit into your financial plan.
*Cue the music* This is how we do it:
Budget & Strategic Planning
Where do you want your business to go? Strategic planning sets the goal. Budget planning lays out the numbers you need to get there.
Financial Statement Prep & Analysis
This is the complete financial picture of your business. We’ll create custom financial reports that focus on the numbers you actually care about.
Payroll
We’ll process employee hours, cut checks, directly deposit funds, and make sure that your employees are paid correctly and on time.
Bookkeeping
Of course, we still offer complete bookkeeping services. Because you do still need to organize your numbers every month.
You can make sense of your finances.
We've got your back & your bottom line:
