12 + 11 = 23 | The Adventure starts now: My Story Bookkeeping

Greetings, fellow humans and finance-minded friends!
Welcome to the inaugural chapter of My Story Bookkeeping, where numbers meet narrative and transparency is the key to our shared success.
As the protagonist of this story, I am excited to embark on a journey of growth, learning, and economic clarity. So, buckle up as we jump right into the world of bookkeeping, QuickBooks Online, and the art of turning financial chaos into a well-orchestrated symphony.

Firstly, let's address the well-dressed elephant in the room--I'm not your typical seasoned bookkeeper. In fact, I'm the "new kid on the ledger," fresh in the bookkeeping realm, eager to make an impression and impact and help shape success stories for every business I have the honor of encountering.

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Suzie Torres, the ambitious mind and heart behind this venture, launching on this odyssey stemmed from a blend of destiny, inspiration, and an undeniable passion for numbers that traces back to my childhood, and I'm here to share my triumphs, trials, and, most importantly, my journey with you, with unbounded enthusiasm.

I recently revisited the QuickBooks Online Certification lessons, not because I had to, but because I wanted to. Call it an encore performance or a recalibration of my financial compass, but my commitment to excellence is unwavering. As I set my sights on the Advanced Certification, and beyond, I invite you to witness the evolution, because here at My Story Bookkeeping, we believe in celebrating every step towards mastery.
I'll be sharing my QuickBooks Online certifications as I achieve and obtain them, here on the Wall, to showcase my progress. Armed with a determination to flourish and an insatiable hunger for knowledge, I march forward, sharing every milestone and celebrating victories, mine as well as those of my cherished clients'.

Why exclusively QuickBooks Online, you ask?
Well, like any good storyteller, I want to master my craft before exploring new territories. QuickBooks Online is my trusted companion on this maiden voyage, but rest assured, I have a treasure trove of resources at my disposal, and I'll be ready to broaden my horizons when the time is right.

I'd like to confess that I owe this love for numbers and passion for helping people to my grandfather. A seasoned bookkeeper himself, he not only raised me but also planted the seeds of my nerdiness that sprouted into a fervent desire for economic clarity. While I didn't learn the art of bookkeeping directly from him, he passed away when I was still a child, but his influence and legacy have guided me to this point, where I'm thrilled to embrace this newfound journey.

So, what took me so long to dive into the world of bookkeeping, you wonder?
Frankly, I wish I could provide a profound answer, but sometimes, the most significant revelations are the ones that were right in front of us all along, akin to searching for your misplaced glasses when they're perched comfortably atop your head (which happens more than I'd like). My epiphany finally came, destined to unravel this numerical labyrinth, and now I'm here, ready to learn and thrive with you.

In the spirit of transparency, I have to admit--I'm a work in progress. As I navigate the intricacies of bookkeeping, I ask you to bear with me, because every challenge is an opportunity to learn, and every mistake is a stepping stone towards precision. "Practice makes progress" is not just a mantra; it's a guiding principle at My Story Bookkeeping.

As we move forward, let's embark on this adventure together, where stories unfold in numbers, progress is celebrated, and economic clarity becomes the hallmark of success. My commitment to you is unwavering--to learn and grow together, one balanced sheet at a time.

Here's to a future filled with financial triumphs and the shared narrative of success.

Warm regards,
