ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR:

I’m Amy, a Certified Public Accountant who works with creative entrepreneurs to make taxes and bookkeeping less stressful. I started my own accounting business after a little bit of soul searching on how I would combine my accounting and tax knowledge with my love for entrepreneurship and pretty things.

Since starting my business, I’ve talked with hundreds of small business owners about their questions as they are in the beginning stages of their businesses. I was constantly hearing “oh Amy, you’ve made this so simple!” and just knew I had to share this knowledge with as many people as possible.
