Calling all rural entrepreneurs and farmers who scramble to keep up with their books, ‘wing it’ when categorizing transactions, and dread tax season:
Give me a few hours, and I’ll show you how to manage the books for your rural, ag, or farm business – stress-free.
Even if you have –
Zero (or very little) bookkeeping experience.
Multiple entities.
Past months to catch up with and balance.
In this course, you’ll learn a simple and efficient system for handling your books like a pro (without having to actually hire a pro!).
Sooo, you … Got appointed as the ‘bookkeeper’ for your family business?
(Gee, thanks, guys.)
Started a business and realized, oh, FORK – someone has to manage these books every month, but you’re not ready to hire that out?
(Whelp, it looks like that someone is you.)
>>> But you’re busy, you don’t have any experience with bookkeeping, and you’re *really* nervous about messing things up.
Ok, deep breath. Heck, crack open a cold Busch Light if you need to. (Works for me.)
Doing your own books can be stressful, there’s no doubt. But it doesn’t have to be. The way I see it, you’ve got four choices here:
#1 – Throw in the towel and give up. But that’s going to bite you in the you-know-where at tax time.
#2– Keep wingin’ it and stressing over your books every month. ← Don’t do that.
#3 – Hire someone to do the books for you. This is an excellent option IF you have the funds
I saved the best for last…
#4 – Take my Bookkeeping Essentials For Rural Entrepreneurs Course and …
IN JUST A FEW HOURS…
You’ll become the confident, efficient, I-know-how-to-categorize-that-transaction-or-pull-this-report bookkeeper your rural, agricultural, or farming business needs.
After taking this course – Which is the ONLY of its kind made to give you the specific bookkeeping skills for Schedule F farming, ag, or rural businesses like yours –
You’ll go from “Who tf has time to do these books and figure this s*$t out?” to confidently managing your books every month without –
Arguing with your spouse over whose turn it is to enter those checks. (For the record, ladies, it’s probably his turn. Kidding kidding – maybe.)
Wondering if you should start selling your garage stuff on eBay to afford a bookkeeper.
Stressing over every transaction, winging it, and constantly worrying about tax season in the back of your mind.
Besides having organized and balanced books, my Bookkeeping Essentials alumni would tell you that:
Having control of your business financials and knowing where your money is coming from and going feels DAMN good, and that’s exactly what you’ll achieve in this course.
YOU’LL ALSO WALK AWAY WITH –
A no-BS, simple, streamlined bookkeeping process that allows you to compare your income and expenses at the drop of a hat and make informed business decisions based on numbers.
Total confidence that you’re about to strut into tax season as your accountant's new favorite client - with all your profit and loss statements, transactions, and reports in neat, tidy rows. (Or, in this case – columns.)
MORE TIME. Because wasted time is the main kicker when you’re doing your own bookkeeping. You’re staying up late, working Saturdays, or getting up early to do the books. It stinks, I get it.
I know you got into business to have more time flexibility and freedom, not to miss out on important events and memories because you’re busy wrangling numbers.
With the system I teach in this course, you’ll complete your books quickly and efficiently every month.
So you can say goodbye to the bookkeeping stress that’s currently taking over every inch of your free time.

How it works
The Bookkeeping Essentials Course consists of six short, easy-to-follow video modules that walk you through setting up and managing your books step-by-step.
It’s like having a bookkeeper over your shoulder – only better. Because instead of relying on someone else, YOU become that confident number-cruncher your business needs.
Here’s everything you’ll learn in this course –
Module 1
How ignoring your books is costing you big time – and what to do about it.
Understand everything you stand to gain by keeping up with your books and the profound impact you’re about to make on your family and company.
Module 2
Define your balance sheet and income statement account to see your company’s liabilities, assets, and equities at any time.
Know how to pull your revenue and expenses and see your cash flow whenever you want to make informed decisions.
Module 3
How to keep your books in balance.
I’ll show you my simple system for categorizing and tracking all your income and expenses. Your books will stay current, and you’ll always feel ‘tax-time ready.’
Module 4
Set up your bookkeeping ‘maps’ so you never lose sleep wondering if you entered your transactions correctly.
Mapping your books ensures every transaction has its proper place, making things much smoother during tax season!
Module 5

* Lifetime Access * Only $379 *
INVESTMENT
$379 gives you lifetime access to this course!
If that seems like a pinch, consider this: If you were to invest in a bookkeeper, you’d spend at least $200-$300 per month.
Which means –
Investing $379 one time to take this course will give you the confidence and knowledge to manage your books AND save you around $4000/year!
👆That’s about what it would be if you invested in a bookkeeper to do your books for you.
Saving your family thousands?
Taking control of your business financials?
Feeling organized and prepared at tax time?
Knowing how to manage and balance your own books confidently?
If having all THAT ain’t worth $379, I don’t know what is.
Plus, I give your LIFETIME ACCESS to the course, so you can return to it anytime.
You didn’t mind doing the books for the business. Until you did, if you know what I mean.
If you spend HOURS every month trying to balance your accounts while juggling farm or ranch life, family, a business, and everything else in between, I made this course for you.
Hi, I’m Mary.
I’m a virtual bookkeeper for farmers and rural entrepreneurs.
Listen, I’m a business owner, too. I know you have plenty of things to do other than argue with your spouse about where to categorize that check or skip your kids’ game because you're behind on the paperwork.
Sure, it would be nice to outsource your books, but that’s not always possible.
You’re going the DIY route (for now), and you don’t feel comfortable taking just ‘any’ bookkeeping course to learn how to do it.
There are nuances and specifics to YOUR type of farming, ag, or rural business that a lot of folks who created courses just don’t have experience with.
That’s why I created the Bookkeeping Essentials For Rural Entrepreneurs Course.
You’re going to love it because
It includes all my knowledge and experience as a bookkeeper without the bookkeeper's ‘lingo,’ so it’s simple and doable for the ‘average’ person who just needs to get their books done right and without the headache.
It covers the skills you need to manage your books as a Schedule F farmer, ag business owner, rural business owner, or rural solopreneur with one or more entities.
As a former controller for an ag cooperative, I oversaw a portfolio with more than $50 million in annual sales. I have an MBA from ISU and am a QuickBooks Certified Pro Advisor. I also own several small businesses. Every month, my virtual bookkeeping firm supports over 50 businesses like yours.
So yeah – this course is also CREDIBLE. I’ve included everything you need to confidently do your books without feeling overwhelmed.
You can do this. You’ll feel empowered by knowing your financials and confident in your process for keeping the books balanced. Let’s go!

Absolutely. My online course shows family-owned businesses how to do their own books. This course is for you if you’re ‘stuck’ doing the books, so to speak, but you don’t have any experience with this kind of thing. It’ll walk you through setting up your chart of accounts, categorizing transactions, and running reports – everything you need to know to do your own books. Click HERE to learn more about the course.

Well, it’s crunch time. (Get it - as in ‘crunch’ the numbers?!)
Sure, you could save $379 and try to figure out how to manage your books on your own
After all, how hard can it be? (Famous last words!)
It’s not hard, until:
It’s 10:00 p.m., you’ve had a long day, and your accounts aren’t balancing no matter how many times you go through them.
You categorize something wrong, can’t remember where that deposit you received six months ago came from, and your accountant needs tax info you don’t have by, yesterday.
I have a better idea for you:
You could invest that $379 into learning a simple, streamlined, organized system for managing your own books.
That $379? It’s going to save you BIG in the long run, in time and money –
No having to outsource your books. (A $200- $300/month investment, at least!)
No having to ‘wing it,’ cross your fingers, or pray that your books are done right.
No having to spend time at your desk weeding through the books when you could be with your family or growing the company – this system will get you in and out as efficiently as possible.
No stressing or ‘guessing’ on where to categorize transactions, how to pull reports, etc.
Did I mention this investment also gets you –
A bookkeeping course customized to rural, agricultural, and schedule F farming operations.
So when you email to ask us about splitting a loan payment or categorizing feed, we’ll know exactly what you’re talking about.
But maybe most importantly – this is a $379 investment in your confidence and peace of mind.
With this course, you can confidently say, “I got this!” when doing your own business books.
If you’re thinking: “$379 is absolutely worth all of the above to me!!!” Then click that button below, and let’s get started.
