Welcome to Bookkeeping Buds, where women who run bookkeeping firms come together to turn their dreams into reality! In our lively and supportive community, you'll find a wealth of knowledge, inspiring ideas, and a sisterhood of like-minded women all working towards building the businesses they’ve always envisioned.

Bookkeeping Buds blends the best of both worlds—a dynamic online forum and monthly Zoom meetups—creating a space where you can connect, learn, and grow. Every quarter, we help you stay focused on both your business and personal goals, ensuring you achieve balance and success.

Our private Slack channel is like your own little clubhouse, perfect for getting advice, sharing wins, and asking questions. Plus, our member directory is a great way to connect with small business owners looking for your expertise.

And the fun doesn’t stop there! We host live retreats and special events at national conferences, where you can meet your fellow Buds in person, share ideas, and celebrate the journey together. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or lead a growing team, you’ll find your place in our vibrant, supportive community.

Join us and let’s make your dream business a reality—together!
