Back to Basics Bookkeeping Service

Business partners for 3 years!!!

We just celebrated running together for
3 years.

I never planned to have a business partner.

Iryna was referred to me from a fellow bookkeeper sharing they loved her, but couldn't give her enough hours. She called me in March right as Covid was in full force.
We had such a great conversation, but I told her I just couldn't due to the unknown.

A month later, the government issued all the loans to my clients and I was drowning trying to learn everything & keep my clients afloat. I called Iryna and said, "Are you ready? I don't know what this is gonna look like, but let's do this!" She said, "YES!."

After surviving Covid, we realized we were a powerhouse duo. I knew I had found my person who would care about my clients as much as I do & I could delegate things to her even though I was very slow at this! OCD you know me. I offered her to become my business partner and we haven't looked back.

Honestly, I can't imagine running B2B by myself anymore. We are having too much fun together.

Iryna is one of the best business decisions I've ever made.

Every year, I like to share a little bit of wisdom about being a business owner.

Here is my wisdom to share with all of you!

😊Love what you do and be passionate about it! This will attract the kind of team, clients, and support you want.

😊Reminder - Be good at what you do, and hire others for what you are not good at. It is worth the cost (say on repeat).

😊Failures - Everyone has failures. My failures taught me the most.

😊Boundaries - You MUST have them & stick to them.

😊Technology - Keep up with it or you will be left behind. Everything new has good and bad. Take the good and go for it!

😊Trust & Respect - If you gain this with your clients you figured out the secret sauce.

😊Have a plan if you die - I know this sounds harsh, but it is so important.

😊Surround yourself with others in the SAME industry as you are in - Being a business owner is so rewarding, but also very hard at times. You need others who can relate & understand what you are going through. Others to collaborate with, educate one another on the latest and greatest, and refer to. This will save you time, your sanity, and help you grow by seeing things in a different light.

B2B is not just about me anymore.
B2B is a team of amazing people!!!
Iryna is my business partner and we lead a team of 3 who work alongside us to help our clients live their dreams.

We feel so very fortunate to do what we do and truly care about each and every client we service.

Hey, y'all -

Today, B2B celebrates 18 years of business!

B2B is officially an adult.

The infant/toddler/child years were many trial errors, lots of do overs, many firsts, and full of excitement & fear. I learned to surround myself with others as B2B continued to grow.

The teen years were assessing, adjusting, and realizing what we were good at. The things we were not great at, we hired others who were. It was about finding ourselves as a business as we changed.

As we head into adulthood, we now have a team of 5 of us & it feels like we have found our stride. We let go of clients that weren't the right fit & are passionate about the amazing clients we do have. We can now be picky about who we take on & that is a win.
We have learned our gut tells us a lot, and we must trust it.

We still struggle and fall down, but we learn from the crash and burns & always come back stronger.

Kim + Iryna now run B2B together. We were introduced in 2020 & just knew that after one phone call, we were meant to work together.

HUGE "thank you" to all our clients who trust us all these years.

Cheers to 18 years!!! 🥂
