Why I Don’t Use a Bookkeeper for My Small Business
Why am I writing an income report?
I think it is important for entrepreneurs to be honest about not just how much they are bringing in, but also how much they are spending.
Main ways my business makes money?
- Website in a day
- Website in a week
- Affiliate courses or platforms
- Social media management
- Squarespace DIY your website course
Total Income January – April: $18,195
$4,500 is GREAT for me considering I only work part time!
How many hours a week do you work?
I have my kids in daycare 2 days a week and I HUSTLE those days. I probably work about 20 hours a week. Below is what a LOW WEEK looks like (I was on vacation so I only worked 8 hours total).
Main Big Expenses
- Dubsado – I use this for workflows, invoicing clients, and contracts
- Showit – website platform host
- Virtual assistant – helps with my social media clients
Want this exact tracking system?
Get the Business Spreadsheet Tracker HERE. I love Dolly DeLong’s “The Bookkeeping Template For Creatives” and have been using it since 2020! Don’t walk, RUN to go get it! 10/10 SUGGEST! This is why I haven’t needed a bookkeeper or accountant in my business.

Hey, I'm Bekah! Web designer, Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, marathon runner, and mama of two. I built Rebekah Read Creative in 2018 after leaving corporate America, and I've spent the years since helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs stop cringing at their websites and start getting found on Google.
I'm the kind of person who overshares, processes out loud, and goes all in on whatever has my heart, whether that's running a 50k or building someone's website in a single day. Quality coffee and real conversations are basically my love language.
If you're here, you're probably tired of the Instagram hustle and ready for a website that actually works for you. You're in the right place.
