Hey there!
I'm Katie Ferro, CPA

⭐️ Reformed rule follower

⭐️ Mama to 3 little ones (ages 4 and under)

⭐️ Business coach to bookkeepers and bookkeeper to business coaches

I'm obsessed with bookkeeping and how it changes lives.

I grew my business to surpass the corporate tax manager salary I left behind while working only the hours I used to commute and growing a family.

Now I teach accountants and students how to escape (or skip!) the 9-5 and create more freedom in their lives, while creating impact through their services.

Hey there!

I'm obsessed with bookkeeping and how it changes lives.

I grew my business to surpass the corporate tax manager salary I left behind while working only the hours I used to commute and growing a family.

Now I teach accountants and students how to escape (or skip!) the 9-5 and create more freedom in their lives, while creating impact through their services.

INQUIRE ABOUT THIS SPEAKER

I show accountants that there is another way. 

 

Contrary to popular belief:

 

There's more to life than crunching numbers in a cubicle and missing moments with your family.

Success doesn't have to be limited or take years of hard work to accomplish.

You can advance in your career without fighting your coworkers for promotions.

You can increase your income without waiting for the end of the year for a 3% salary increase.

Katie speaks about her journey out of corporate and her mission to spread the news of how her path can be replicated.

 

Katie speaks about the massive opportunity for bookkeepers in the online space.

 

Katie speaks to coaching client about taking action, pushing through fear, and ditching the perfect plan

Arielle is a coaching client of Katie's who quit her Big 4 accounting job and will surpass her corporate salary in her first year in business.

 

There is so much potential for bookkeepers in the online space. 

 

Online businesses are thriving, and for accountants, bookkeepers, and even accounting students that means:

 

Bookkeepers are in demand

There is a way to step into the gap in the market

It's possible to sign clients and start a business, even as a college student

Many online business owners are brand new to business, making a lot of money, but need guidance in how to track it and what to do to understand their profits and avoid mistakes

As a bookkeeper, you can solve that need and help business owners stay in business and create more impact in the world.\

Topics I could speak on for days!

But I promise to reign in it and show students how they can succeed on their own terms and create a better world.

The Alternate Route

Accounting grads have more options than just choosing between private and public accounting. They can become business owners, and they can even start as college students. Success as it was taught in our parents and grandparents day is outdated. You do not have to conform to the same system. You can reject the 9-5.

Impactful Bookkeeping

Plain and simple, bookkeeping changes lives. When you consider bookkeeping a value add service that allows businesses to succeed, stay around for the long term, and create opportunity that changes the lives of the business owners, their teams, their clients, and everyone in their wake. I will discuss how you can serve this need and change lives.

Online Business Bookkeepers in Demand

Online business is thriving. I'll share examples of what young solopreneuers are doing (think 5-6 figure MONTHS in the middle of a pandemic), how this presents opportunities and need for bookkeepers, and how accounting students can step into the gap in the market.
