Is Your CPA or Bookkeeper Letting You Down? Let’s Talk About Why (And How to Fix It)
Often, I hear that a bookkeeper isn't advising enough or a CPA isn't strategic enough.
Why? Because that is not their job.
👉 A bookkeeper reconciles and organizes financial transactions to provide accurate data.
👉 A CPA helps individuals and businesses with their taxes, audits, and financial planning.
Neither is focused on advisement, thought partnership, or strategy.
Therefore, as a business owner, you generally feel lost with a lack of control and an inability to make strategic decisions.
Your bookkeeper is providing you with a monthly report but...is it telling you a story? Is it giving you actionable insights? Are you able to leverage the information strategically?
Probably not.
In short, that is why I started Le Chéile. To help creative agency founders & entrepreneurs regain confidence and the ability to lead and scale their team & company with ease.
We can help with your bookkeeping but we can also help make that bookkeeping come to life and ensure that you're having FUN running your successful business again.
We have short and longer-term strategic consulting containers depending on your need.
We often solve problems like: how much to pay yourself as a founder, how much you should charge for your services, which services to scrap, and which to keep, how to structure your team (subs, PT, FT) as you scale, and more.
We're here to give creative entrepreneurs the strategic + financial support you deserve - curated to the creative industry.
