🔥 Priced to Flee – A Bookkeepers On Fire Breakdown with Debbie & Donna
Are clients handing you boxes of receipts like it’s 1997? Time to rethink your approach (and your price tag)! Here's the scoop:
📦 Set Boundaries – If clients want receipt management, they need to follow your tools, your process, and definitely not text you receipts. 💸 Charge What It’s Worth – Pricing starts at $500/month and up—because your time, tech, and sanity are premium. 🤖 Leverage the Tech – Tools like Keeper, QBO AI, and Dext make it easier, but someone still has to do the work—and it won’t be you for free.

Ask or Assume?
🎙️ In this episode we tackle real client conversations, pricing mindset, and how to lead with empathy (and a little sass) during discovery calls.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is listen—discovery calls = free therapy (for them).🚩 Watch for red flags. Five past bookkeepers? Doesn’t want to pay for QuickBooks? You’ve got your answer.
