As I was laid-off from work due to the Pandemic, I've found a way to pursue my dream of working from home and still continue the work that I am very passionate about: Accounting or Bookkeeping. I was hired by one of the top accounting software companies as QBO Advanced Live Expert. I've gained so much more knowledge on top of what I was already equipped with from working as a Staff Accountant for 20+ years in the Corporate world. I started building my own business while working as a Live Expert. I have taken advantage of all the free trainings, certificates and licenses they have to offer that I can use through building my personal and career growth, although a few years back, I have already started keeping myself up to date with all bookkeeping training and licenses from NACPB. I took on a few regular clients of my own, via the online job site, and started working for myself as soon as I clocked out from my regular job. It was not easy doing the same thing the whole day. Although I was doing what I love and am passionate about, having a regular job and working for yourself doing exactly the same thing was draining at times. I continued on until I quit my regular job as I was given no choice. It was a wonderful experience. It was sad leaving my colleagues but I can now give 100% of my time into my own business .
I can now help modern entrepreneurs to grow and focus on their business without having to worry about running their own financial books.
