🧾 Personal Bookkeeping: It's Messy, It's Lucrative, It's... Marital? 💸
Ever been asked to handle someone’s personal books? Not the business kind — we’re talking hair appointments, pool guys, and surprise facials.
Before you dive in, here's what you really need to remember:
🔑 You're Not Dr. Phil – If they’re fighting over her spa day or his tech splurge... nope. One point of contact. You're the bookkeeper, not the referee.
🙈 Check Judgement at the Door – They’re “broke” but booking Bora Bora. You’re not here to ask why — you’re here to categorize and move on.
💻 QBO Can Handle the Drama – From joint accounts to solo “don’t ask” credit cards, QuickBooks sees it all... and doesn’t gossip.
👉 Doing personal books? Price it like it’s premium therapy — and bring snacks.
