On the DIY Course: I am really liking Xero very much. For the first time in my years of bookkeeping I actually feel confident that I am on top of everything–including sales tax which has always been a headache for me– and that transactions are being categorized properly. Your notes under each category on the COA have been very helpful. After the initial learning everything, now I spend just about 10 minutes a day on average entering transactions, reconciling, etc.   I only wish I had started a year ago. 🙂 I love it so much more than QB.

I had big accounting questions, felt completely overwhelmed and stressed out. Mariel’s confident and personal response was such a relief. I took the DIY course and it has been one of the best things I have done for my jewelry business. It really does make a difference to have someone knowledgeable in running a jewelry business AND an accounting professional helping get your accounts set up properly. I love Xero. Way better than Quickbooks. I feel confident that sales tax is being handled correctly, that my expenses are being correctly categorized, and I love the report features Xero offers–with a click I can see instantly how the month is adding up. And the inventory spreadsheet has been such a godsend!
