Our Organization's history

Our journey began in 2012, with a vision to create a safe learning environment to where it's okay to say "I don't know, but I'm willing to learn". We believe that everyone deserves to build a good life on their own, and we are very passionate about our mission to create a place where individuals could find a home of continuous learning and skills.

our history image

In 2019 our CEO realized that her biggest struggle (in her accounting firm) was delegating accounting. She started out as a bookkeeper in 2005 while going to school for accounting, and for her it was an instant connection of theory and practice.

She built a great accounting business and later added tax and tax planning to it; yet practicing excellence in accounting - i.e. the basics - was always the core of her business.

After a few unsuccessful hires (when the resume looked amazing but the skills and excellence just weren't there) she decided to create a training that teaches accountants just like she was taught. And this training is now the linchpin of our programs.

In 2024, we finally found a way for our organization to make a real difference for our initial target groups: we decided to ask for your help.

In 2025 we look to expand our education beyond accounting. We want to open training in tax preparation, entrepreneurship boot-camp and are exploring other skills to be added to our library in collaboration with other professionals (like vocational skills and more).

I always knew that foundational accounting is THE skill for women because it allows us to build a flexible life and have choices. Accounting allows us to stay flexible and make a good living, without sacrificing life. Plus it's a skill with which you can put food on the table no matter what life throws at you.

Partners Already Involved

We are looking for partners who want to make the world a better place and prevent violence. How? When violence or abuse happens, it almost always includes financial abuse. But when young women and moms learn the skill of bookkeeping, they'll always be able to make a living. So if they find themselves at an unpleasant point in life, they'll know they're able to survive no matter what. And you get to be a part of that.

We are looking for partners to shape the present and the near-future of the accounting profession by educating those underrepresented groups like 1st gen immigrants, former victims of abuse/violence, moms and teens by teaching them skills they can use to earn money. There are few skills that, if taught right, become a life-long skill, and bookkeping is one of them. And we get to shape what happens next. Will you join?

We want to partner up with you because 75% of today's tax preparers are over the age of 65, because accounting enrollment is falling consistently and because AI will take forever to supplement your processes. We teach them skills they can apply today, and then you recruit them for your firm. Good skilled talent makes a huge difference, so it's a win-win!
