55 minutes

Karen Wilson welcomes Finance Coach Nicole Barham, creator of the life-changing 5 Minute Bookkeeper, to the show to discuss financial control. Nicole has a passion for helping business owners - especially women entrepreneurs - learn to manage their finances with ease. She explains why it’s such an important thing to manage yourself.

Nicole was once bankrupt with 6 figure debt, still working to support her family of four. With her background in accounting, it was a subject of some embarrassment for her. But she and her husband decided to turn things around with strict budgeting, and Nicole taught herself all the tracking systems she needed to stay on top of their personal finances. She poured that learning into creating 5 Minute Bookkeeper.

In this episode, Karen and Nicole discuss what makes 5 Minute Bookkeeper so revolutionary and in demand, how personal and business finances can be easily managed with the correct tools, and the changes to Nicole’s life since 2020 when she launched 5 Minute Bookkeeper. Nicole shares her bankruptcy to entrepreneurial success story, which includes a spotlight segment on Good Morning America, and just why she gets such rave reviews from her clients.

About Nicole Barham:

Nicole Barham works with women entrepreneurs, helping them go from being stressed-out about money to financial peace of mind. She shows them how to organize and automate their finances in just a few minutes a day so never again will they say "where in the heck did all my money go?!"

Nicole ensures clients won’t have to scramble at tax time to find old receipts and download 12 months of bank and credit card statements to pull numbers together. She understands how easy it is for finances to get away from people. She had to declare bankruptcy with 6 figures in debt. If she had looked at her numbers a year or two before, she could have saved a lot of heartache and stress for herself and her family. She didn’t want to go through that again, so she learned how to create simple systems to start tracking her own finances. That work eventually led to Nicole creating 5 Minute Bookkeeper®️

Nicole has been featured in First For Women, Medium, and Essence magazines and was seen on Good Morning America sharing simple secrets to get and stay on top of finances in just a few minutes a day.
