Monthly Member Call – Join our monthly calls to connect with members, hear about industry news, and have your questions answered. Call is held the first Wednesday of every month and recording is available to members. Everyone loves a pajama day but it is also good to get out and talk with each other in person. Local in person meetings will be set up based on where members are located. If you are interested in being a leader please contact us.
Bookkeeping Buds Forum - A Safe Haven Forum through our Private Slack Channel to share questions and ideas with other bookkeepers. You will not have to worry that clients are going to stumble across your questions like you do when you post to social media.
Quarterly Goal Setting – Make yourself your #1 Client. Sometimes we tend to get so involved in our clients that we forget to work on our own business. To stop this from happening, you will be required to make one quarterly business goal and one quarterly health goal.

Our members feedback has been extraordinary, hear from some of the Wildflowers:
I wouldn't want to run my bookkeeping business without the support of this AMAZING group of women. Once I joined, I felt like I belonged and had a place at the table. I encourage you to check out their retreat in September. You won't be disappointed.
Joanne Diepenheim - Ripple Effects Bookkeeping
This group has opened by eyes to my potential by inspiring me to think outside of my box and challenging me in areas I’m not always so comfortable.
Kelly Ettling – Ledgers, Inc
Being part of Bookkeeping Buds has proved to be an invaluable resource not only for solving bookkeeping and accounting issues, but also for networking and referrals. Our group has evolved into an integral part of my social and professional community. I know that my skills and my practice would not be where they are today if I had not been a member of our bookkeeping buds group. Everyone in our group makes attending our monthly meeting a top priority for the camaraderie, support and knowledge provided.
Lindi Hannigan, CPA, MBA - Cypress Financial Services, Inc.
Belonging to a networking group which includes extraordinarily talented consultants, who welcomingly and willing share their expertise, successes, and failures, has become invaluable.
Being a part of the Bookkeeping Buds has given me a foundation needed to confidently take on bigger engagements, expand my staffing, and venture into public speaking.
With Cindy and Kay’s enthusiasm and quest to instill goal setting and regularly follow-up on accomplishments, I have achieved successes never imagined.
