I’m Lindsay Kline, an accounting professional and entrepreneur who built and scaled a bookkeeping firm from the ground up to $500,000 in annual revenue with a team of 10 accountants before successfully selling the business. I know firsthand what it takes to run a high-performing bookkeeping firm, and I understand the challenges business owners face when looking for the right financial partner.

With over 20 years of experience in bookkeeping and accounting, serving industries like healthcare, real estate, wholesale distribution, retail, construction, and transportation, I have vetted, hired, and managed top-tier bookkeepers across the country. I know the red flags, the warning signs, and what truly makes a bookkeeping professional reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.

I Built a Firm from Nothing: I didn’t just study bookkeeping, I lived it. I built a thriving bookkeeping business from scratch, learning what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to hiring skilled financial professionals.

I’ve Been an Accounting Manager at the Corporate Level: I oversaw staff accountants and daily financial operations for multiple multimillion-dollar corporations, giving me insight into what businesses truly need in a bookkeeping partner.

I Know the Common Pitfalls: Too many business owners have been burned by hiring the wrong bookkeeper. I help you avoid costly mistakes by matching you with a vetted professional who meets strict qualifications.

I Vet Bookkeepers Like I Would Hire Them for My Own Business: I don’t just refer any bookkeeper. My process involves interviews, assessing cybersecurity protocols, gaining an understanding of their hiring process, and ensuring they have the expertise to serve your unique business needs.

I Lead a Large Bookkeeping Network: As the head of Bookkeepers Club and host of the By the Books Podcast, I stay actively engaged in the industry, ensuring I remain connected with the best professionals in the field.
