Are you making sales in your boutique but still wondering where all your money is going?
Do you panic at tax time because your books are a mess—or worse, nonexistent?
Are you tired of feeling like you should understand your numbers, but no one ever taught you how?
If you’ve ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or straight-up anxious about the money side of your boutique business, you are not alone. Running a retail business—especially online through platforms like Shopify—is no small feat. You’re juggling inventory, marketing, customer service, and social media… and somehow, you’re also supposed to be your own bookkeeper?
Let’s be real: finances can feel intimidating. Maybe you’ve tried spreadsheets, downloaded bookkeeping software, or even hired someone—only to still feel totally in the dark. You just want to understand your business’s money and feel confident making decisions. You want freedom, not fear.
I get it—I know what it feels like to try and figure out some of these new business skills on your own!
Hey there, I’m Megan Schmitke, host of The Boutique Bookkeeper Show. I have my Bachelor’s in Accounting and spent over seven years working in corporate accounting. But when I became a mom, I knew I wanted more flexibility while still being able to use my passion for numbers & helping others with their finances.
That’s when I started Finding Freedom Financial Services.
What I discovered? So many boutique owners were struggling with their numbers—not because they didn’t care, but because no one had ever taught them how to manage the numbers.
And while plenty of bookkeepers will do your bookkeeping for you, almost none will take the time to teach you how to do it yourself.
That’s where this podcast comes in.
The Boutique Bookkeeper Show is your go-to resource for breaking down the money side of your boutique in a way that actually makes sense. In each episode, you’ll get real-world, easy-to-digest education on topics like:
⭐ Understanding your Shopify reports
⭐ What numbers really matter in your business
⭐ How to stay organized month after month
⭐ How to prepare for tax season without the stress
⭐ And how to create systems that actually give you freedom—not more to do
Whether you want to DIY your bookkeeping with confidence or just want to finally understand what your numbers are telling you, you’re in the right place.
Let’s take the confusion out of your numbers so you can finally start to use them to grow a profitable boutique.
