II didn’t dream of becoming a bookkeeper.

I said yes to an opportunity I barely understood — and had to figure it out while already in deep.

When I started my bookkeeping business, I had:

• No clients

• No systems

• No idea how to price my services or talk about what I offered

I had a business degree — but no real-world training for this.
No one tells you how to manage taxes, juggle multiple clients, or stay confident when imposter syndrome creeps in.

So I taught myself.
One mistake. One spreadsheet. One late-night Google search at a time.

It wasn’t glamorous.
It wasn’t perfect.
But it worked. Because I kept going.

And through that process, I realized I wasn’t the only one.
So many women are out there looking for more — craving flexibility, stability, and purpose — and bookkeeping keeps popping up as a possibility.
But they hesitate, thinking they need a degree, years of experience, or a certification before they can even start.

She Built It Anyway exists because I didn’t wait for any of that.
And you don’t have to either.
