Soundbites from Issue #1

A sampling of quotes from our featured firm owners.

“Sometimes you don’t realize when something starts small and you’re the one doing all the work that you do actually have systems. As owners, we had to figure out how to get those systems on paper so that we could duplicate our work through another person who might not think just like we do.”

Laraine Hutcherson Co-Owner, Strength in Numbers Co. — Antelope, California

“If I hadn’t started my own firm, I don’t think I ever would have gotten back into horseback riding. Financially I wouldn’t have been able to afford it, and time-wise I would have been tied to a desk.”

Cathryn Vidal Founder, Crema Bookkeeping — Nanaimo, British Columbia

“Even on my hardest days and my most frustrated points or just exhaustion, I love it. There is not a stitch in me that would think about going back to working for somebody else or giving this up.”

Anne-Marie Kaden Founder, Tiny Paws Bookkeeping — Colorado
