Rachel Burke is the founder of Bookkeeping by Burke, a boutique bookkeeping firm that serves female-owned, service-based businesses. She started Bookkeeping by Burke after working in the corporate accounting industry and recognizing a huge disconnect between accountants and their clients. The industry is outdated, it's boring, it's old school, and it's 90% male-dominated. At Bookkeeping by Burke, Rachel and her team are not your parents' 65-year-old CPA. They're young, they're modern, they're female, and they genuinely love their clients. Their mission is to teach you how to pay yourself consistently, to ease your stress come tax-time, to help you understand your finances, and to cheer you on every step of the way. -------------------------- In today's episode, we cover:
