Jackie - When my husband, Keith, owned a lawn care business in Florida, maintaining our computers became my job, behind raising kids and keeping lawn care books. By the time we returned to our home state after active duty, I ha

d learned enough to open a small computer repair shop. More clients asked for data entry and bookkeeping, though, so I honed those skills to meet the demand, often working myself out of jobs, teaching customers how to handle their books themselves. I’ve worked in the tax or accounting sector for over 30 years, including for H&R Block and PBMares, an east coast accounting firm, for five years each. in Business Management, and published PURPOSEFUL MONEY: A BEGINNERS STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO TAKING CONTROL OF MONEY. I love to cook, read, write, and hang out with our kids. I’m still married to Keith, and we have five adult children. Our middle son, Brian, is my business partner. Brian - I love the science of how things work, and learned to build and repair computers from watching Mom. At fifteen, I became the youngest CompTia A+ Certified computer technician to that date. When Mom went to work at H&R Block, I had been working in restaurants in our small town. I was searching for jobs in different fields, so gave tax work a try. I found myself more interested and challenged in jobs involving math skills. Now, as a former eCommerce Sales Manager for a public corporation, I understand the value of timely, detailed reports on everything from cash flow to inventory to taxes. I love the quick pace of today’s business world and the tools available to streamline the back end of business.

💵 PLUMBER'S FINANCIAL TIP OF THE DAY 💵

Random, unplanned owner's draws can create cash flow chaos for plumbing businesses. Taking money "when it's available" sometimes leaves nothing for growth or emergencies.

Quick Tip: Establish a regular, sustainable owner's pay schedule based on profit, not revenue, with bonuses tied to performance metrics.

What we often see: Plumbing companies with structured owner compensation grow 3x faster than those with irregular draw patterns.

Predictable pay, predictable growth! 💧💰
