I’m Charyl Lieder
Certified Business Coach & Bookkeeper
It’s natural to get cold feet
(read: become overwhelmed, intimidated, or borderline panicky) just before taking a look at your business’ bottom line numbers.
Business Coaching
When the path to your business goals are murky and you’re frozen by which action to take, a coach can support you in clarifying your desires and inspire you to keep you moving forward.
Bookkeeping
Financial goals are important, but financial language and compliance can seem impossible to understand to the untrained. Plus, who has time for bookkeeping and accounting when you’re trying to run a business?
Goal Setting
Choosing a goal and sticking to it changes everything.
Accounting Support
Debits and credits, assets, and balance sheets don’t have to be your thing (but they are mine).
Accountability
Responsibility doesn’t happen by chance, we’ll constantly put it into practice.
Business Advice
Recommendations that will (really) help you move past from what’s holding you back.
What I do
Clarity is my thing. Because watching talented, intelligent women struggle to work for themselves is NOT only unacceptable, it’s what I strive to eliminate.
As a bookkeeper, I’m a technician. I complete the necessary tasks and provide reports to make your books easy to navigate and keep your accounting up-to-date.
As a coach, I’m trained to first help you figure out exactly what you want. Then, I partner with clients to explore and co-create desired outcomes.
Listen, assess, intuit possibility ← in that order.
What’s possible?
Smart financial decisions, embraced visions, ease and empowerment.
We can stop the struggle.
Is This For Me?
Are you a visionary who prefers creating over tracking and planning?
Does the thought of dealing with the daily tasks of business ownership exhaust you?
Or maybe you know your zone of genius, and you know it’s not the logistical side of entrepreneurship.
You’ve decided now is the time to take the reins and get your business’ finances in order.
There’s no reason to torture yourself with these tasks when someone else actually loves doing them for you.
Wait, bookkeeping and accounting aren’t the same thing?
Cash flow, spending habits, tax deductibles, profit and loss: I swear they’re all English words and phrases. But what feelings do they evoke in you when you read them?
I’m guessing guilt about the Everest sized pile of receipts you haven’t filed. Or shame because that expensive accounting software you bought is too complicated. Maybe even feeling like a
Yeah, this is not the part of being a business owner most people like. Yet you know the only way you will reach money milestones and grow your business is by getting smarter and simplifying financial management. A savvy Bookkeeper is the person to keep you on track day-to-day so that come tax time your Accountant will have what they need to make filing as stress-free as possible.

About Me
Hi, I’m Charyl, I’m a certified bookkeeper and business coach who works with passionate entrepreneurs who sometimes forget to focus on their finances, yet deserve to make, save, and live more.
Here, I help women take control of money with automated accounting systems and financial planning strategies, providing the peace of mind and freedom necessary to help you focus on your own zone on genius (and succeed in business).
My obsession with time-saving technology and healthy (realistic, not gimmicky) money mindset
I was avoiding my finances like other people avoid technology. I knew I had cashflow, but nothing was organized and it felt out of control. Charyl kept me committed to wrangling the bookkeeping when without her, I think I would have quit many, many times. I was surprised at how much support she was available for. I guess I just expected it would be setup and boom, gone. I love that Charyl answered questions thoroughly, followed up with me, and circled back when she saw I wasn’t following through. I feel much more confident and excited to get even more organized to go to the next level.
I was overwhelmed and afraid of my finances. I kept thinking I would mess everything up, and I a) didn’t want to spend the amount of energy necessary to learn it all and b) didn’t really believe I was capable of it.
Initially, I was afraid of the cost, but I now feel like it was the best money I have ever spent after working with Charyl. I no longer have to worry about my bookkeeping, and I really appreciate her organization and understanding that I’m a creative and this isn’t my jam.
I’m not so afraid to scale my business now!
Before working with Charyl, I felt overwhelmed trying to get my bookkeeping software going. I really had no idea how to go about it and what everything meant. I just knew I needed to get more organized and systematic with finances. I knew that I couldn’t keep using different bank accounts haphazardly, but I struggled to separate business money from personal money and have a system for doing this well.
I was afraid to hand off something that I “should” master and know how to do myself… and that in doing so, I would lose touch with an important aspect of running a business.
I feel so relieved and supported! My head is clutter free. I know exactly what to do now. Bookkeeping has become a natural and easy part of my weekly and monthly schedule. I was surprised at how good it feels to have Charyl watching my back and always looking for ways to improve my systems and save money. She hasn’t just made sense of the numbers; she’s been an integral part of helping my business grow and flourish. Moving forward feels Powerful; I’ve got my shit in order, and that feels like such a #bossbitch move : )
Charyl’s been a real life-saver. Before hiring her, keeping track of the money in my business terrified me. I had a lot of old money stories that made me feel very incapable and inferior around money, so I knew I needed to hire help but I was also really scared of being that honest with anyone. I took a chance on Charyl and I am so glad I did. From Day 1 she’s been nothing but efficient and understanding and very proficient. She worked hard to understand the nature of my business and over the years has made many (good!) suggestions for improvements. She’s also celebrated with me as I’ve grown. I feel like we are a team. When we began working together, she helped me set up systems and get everything straight so that I could actually have a bookkeeper. Since then, things have just run like clockwork between us. She has made tax time a real breeze and zero stress as I just send everything she puts together straight to my CPA. I cannot imagine growing my business without her.
