Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Quiett.
Hi Sarah, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
The journey to the creation of Fully Reconciled Bookkeeping is fairly simple, born out of necessity and friendship. Me and my good friend Amanda own this business together and our starts to bookkeeping are very similar. Each of our husbands started businesses and a key part to running a small business is the bookkeeping. Both of them managed to fall very behind and knew little about how to do the work accurately or timely. So the choices were simple, learn the trade or hire someone to do it. This in and of itself is a 50/50 chance. Bookkeeping either clicks for people or it doesn’t and then you end up with books that are very messed up and in need of help. Luckily, the both of us were able to succeed in learning bookkeeping and after having met at another firm and after some time subsequently leaving we remained friends and began the idea of starting our own firm. We wanted to be able to continue work that was remote and allowed us flexibility, time with family, income and was something we enjoyed doing. Thus Fully Reconciled was born and we have been having a great time with it and look forward to our growth in the future.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
So far it has been a fairly smooth road in the creation of Fully Reconciled. We have been very intentional about our growth and not taking on too much at one time where we could be rushing through work and having messes to clean up later. We are taking our time and getting clients set up very well from the beginning so that it is smooth sailing from beginning to end and there is no overwhelm when bringing on new clients.
As you know, we’re big fans of Fully Reconciled Bookkeeping. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At Fully Reconciled Bookkeeping, Amanda and I are well versed in the bookkeeping industry. We have been able to build our business and keep the process simple for business owners. Our main goal is to take the burden of bookkeeping off of the shoulders of small business owners so that their attention can be turned to the million other tasks being an owner requires. We operate out of integrity, empathy, and understanding. Bookkeeping can be a hard task to hand over to someone because it can feel vulnerable to open up your business finances to someone. We value the trust our clients have in us and hope to be able to provide great service to more clients in the future.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
We feel like the qualities most important in working with business owners in bookkeeping is being flexible and understanding. Often times owners reach out for help with bookkeeping because there are so many other tasks vying for their attention and bookkeeping gets pushed to the wayside. But bookkeeping really is a must have to get the best deductions at tax time, for clear pictures on where you are profiting or losing money. Understanding the hustle and bustle of a business owner and providing them flexibility and understanding when requesting information or data is key to our success because our work depends on a synergistic relationship.
