Скачать или смотреть How Molly Built a Bookkeeping Business While Working Corporate (Then Quit)

Today I’m joined by Molly from Bookkeeping by Molly. She’s a graduate of Become a Bookkeeper (BABs) and Life by the Books (Libby), and she’s sharing the real, slow version of how she started her bookkeeping business while still working corporate — and what finally made her quit.

In this conversation we cover:

How one TikTok on maternity leave sparked the idea
Why she originally thought accounting would be “flexible” (and what changed after kids)
Building quietly while working corporate (and the fear of being found out)
Her first client (and where they came from)
What BABs helped her learn/refresh as an accountant
What Libby helped with most: confidence, boundaries, community, and growth
The reality of leaving corporate: the conversation, the nerves, and why it was a non-event
Her current business: mostly service-based clients, what she learned about “not my lane” work, and why turnover has been low
Where she’s headed next: protecting time, possibly hiring, and building something that supports other moms too
Molly is currently at almost 20 clients and estimates 15–20 hours/week depending on the season.
