Lori K Aitken - Bookkeeper

Lori K Aitken - Bookkeeper 🇨🇦Teaching business admin self-sufficiency via simple daily habits for QuickBooks, calendars, & task lists. Do it daily. Do it first. Do it yourself.

Small business owners wear many hats, not the least of which includes owner, operator, finance manager, advertising executive, designer, manufacturer, distributor, service provider, and the list goes on. While every entrepreneur starts out as this task-juggling do-it-yourself-er, eventually you hit a critical tipping point when administering the business is preventing you from the opportunity to g

row your business. Choosing to let someone else steer the financial reins isn’t easy. I wholeheartedly understand. Whether you simply need assistance in getting set up with a functional bookkeeping platform or you want to hand off the whole process entirely, I’m here to help. Let’s meet for coffee and figure it out together.

As humans, we cling to negative experiences like a badge of honour, but we don’t have to martyr ourselves.

You can keep your big feelings AND make positive changes in your business.

Two things can be true at the same time. 

Come talk it out in Office Hour for small business owners. Mondays. 11 am EDT. Zoom. FREE.

We all have responsibilities that have to get done whether we like them or not. Finding the approach that makes you loathe it less is the key to eliminating the procrastination that ensues when we’re avoiding something.

For business owners is bookkeeping. For me, it’s fitness.

…and if you’re one of those dedicated gym-goers, especially the pre-dawn types (that’s next level), please weigh in and help the small business owners in the room how you developed a fitness habit that you’re fiercely dedicated to.

I know bookkeeping and a fitness routine seem unrelated, but how we approach making them work, is the same. 

Comment or DM Zoom if you want to join my FREE weekly Office Hour Zoom sessions, Mondays at 11 am EDT in June & July. It’s unstructured, bookkeeping Q&A, for small business owners just like you.

Breaking habits or building new ones takes time, repetition, and countless false starts. 

Most business owners I meet are not in a good place. They’re buried under a backlog of bookkeeping/admin work and can’t figure out how to dig their way out. 

My answer is always the same. This didn’t happen overnight, and it won’t get solved overnight either. We need to establish a daily routine that will chip away at it, and build that into a habit that sticks. 

Count how many transactions you typically have in a day. Let’s say 10. So set your mind to categorizing 15 of them every day. After a couple of weeks, you might be getting the hang of it. Increase to 20 transactions a day. 

You might miss a day. Start again. You forgot one day. Start again. Keep starting again until it sticks.

I’ll be helping business owners build habits like these in my bookkeeping support membership. Get to know me at FREE Zoom Office Hour sessions, Mondays at 11am EDT in June/July. DM or comment Zoom to join me!

99% of the business owners I meet missed this step.

We can’t completely undo the issue, but we CAN reprioritize our workday.

That’s just one of the many issues we’ll be chipping away at in my Independent Business Care Centre membership.

It launches in August but Founding Class participants who test it out in June and July will get half off the monthly membership fee AND half off ALL future workshops, paid resources, done-with-you and done-for-you services for as long as you remain a member.

There’s no better way to learn about memberships than to try one out!

I put on my big girl pants and joined in on this month’s networking call.

It’s like speed dating for small business but without any expectations at the end. 😉🙌🏻🤣

I don’t plan to have this style of session in my Independent Business Care Centre membership, but I can see how effective it is when networking is the goal.

It was lovely to meet Hayley of , Balbir of , Maggie of , Chandra of , and Chris of .chrisharding .

Sometimes you have to stop taking yourself so seriously.

I love control and organization, but I’m a dorky, goof at my core.

Please enjoy some Friday fun at my expense, and by all means, go have some fun of your own!

You’ll likely see both sides of me at my FREE weekly town-hall-style Zoom sessions in June and July.

DM or comment ZOOM to get in on some bookkeeping support and a few laughs!
