Double Your Bookkeeping Revenue by Cutting 30% of Your Clients & How to Hire the Perfect Partners with Ingrid Edstrom

• Ingrid is a bookkeeping nerd and CEO of Polymath. She loves taking a topic that most small business owners put on a scale from boring to terrifying and turning it into a fun and rewarding part of entrepreneurship. Ingrid is the creator of the Ask A Bookkeeper puppet show, founder of the Southern Oregon Bookkeepers Association, and leader of the Southern Oregon Woodard Group.

Ingrid started Polymath in 2008, and jumped right into being a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor at that time. Since then she has taken "bookkeeping nerd" to the next level, by always staying on the cutting edge of the industry and teaching our accounting colleagues how to do the same. Ingrid always enjoys taking on big projects, learning new things, and helping others get organized and on the road to success… especially when it involves puppets. (If you don't enjoy it, what's the point!)

Ingrid has experience as treasurer for non-profit organizations, and she is a founding member of the Southern Oregon Bookkeepers Association, an organization dedicated to enhancing the education and network resources of local bookkeepers and their clients.

When Ingrid is not playing her favorite video game (QuickBooks), she is usually playing Irish music or frolicking with her goats. Ingrid also enjoys singing, dancing, gardening, and adventuring around the world with friends and family. She lives on a small farm with her goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, kitties, and snakes. She and her husband Jeffrey play Irish music in an Ashland, Oregon band, The Feckin' Tinkers, and you can see them each Tuesday night playing at Oberon's Tavern for "Tinker Tuesday."
