Training? What's That?

🧠 Thinking of Starting a Bookkeeping Biz? Read This First.

So someone asked:
"I don’t have clients yet, but I’m practicing by transferring money between my personal checking and savings accounts. What category is that?"

😬 Ohhh… where do we begin?

Here’s the hard truth ⚡️👇

🔹 YouTube ≠ Training. Watching Facebook reels doesn’t make you a bookkeeper. Get actual education—from a community college, a paid course, something with structure.

💼 Personal ≠ Business. Transferring money from one pocket to the other isn’t a category. It’s a reminder you need to learn the five major account types yesterday.

🚫 Get Schooled, Not Sued. Don’t take clients until you know what you’re doing. Learning on their dime could wreck your reputation before you even build one.
