In this episode of Coffee & Grit, Jason sits down with Michelle Carly, founder of Big E-Z Bookkeeping Co, to explore the often-overlooked but crucial role of knowing your numbers in entrepreneurship. From humble beginnings working in a factory to building a thriving bookkeeping business, Michelle shares her remarkable journey of resilience and resourcefulness.

Michelle's passion for empowering small businesses shines as she explains how her innovative, do-it-yourself bookkeeping system evolved over the years—from paper systems sold at Barnes & Noble to a Google Sheets-based solution for today’s entrepreneurs. Jason and Michelle dive into the fears many business owners face when it comes to finances, the dangers of ignoring cash flow, and the importance of tracking every dollar to avoid pitfalls like IRS audits or employee fraud.

This episode is packed with practical advice for anyone struggling to stay organized or overwhelmed by their bookkeeping. Plus, Michelle shares how you can get hands-on support through her webinars and receive tools to streamline your financial systems.
