The Real Cost of Accounting for Small Businesses and Why I Built Money Bootcamp

This week on the Sunlight Tax podcast, I break down the biggest misconceptions about professional accounting services and explain why relying on tax preparation alone doesn’t give small business owners or creative entrepreneurs the full value they need. I talk about the importance of proactive tax planning, bookkeeping, and year-round financial strategy, and why high-quality accounting services can feel expensive but are worth the investment. That’s exactly why I created Money Bootcamp, a comprehensive course package and bookkeeping setup training for freelancers, sole proprietors, and solopreneurs. It helps get you set up right for taxes, tracking the right things, and growing a giant pile of money without wasting your time.   Also mentioned in this episode: 01:00 Understanding the Value of Professional Accounting 02:19 Common Misconceptions About Accountants 03:43 What You Don't Get with Tax Preparation 06:55 The Costs of Quality Accounting Services 11:40 The Need for Accessible Financial Education 13:49 Money Bootcamp   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!
