Bookkeepers On Fire with Deb & Donna

🎙️🔥 Bookkeepers on Fire is officially ONE year old… and we kicked off 2026 with the kind of conversation that makes you sit up straighter in your chair.

In our first episode of the year, we welcomed Jessica Fox, and she dropped truth bombs with kindness and a little “don’t-you-dare-bill-by-the-hour” energy 😅⚡️

Here are my 3 spicy takeaways:

🧠💰 Stop charging for minutes. Start pricing for impact. In a world of automation, billing by time punishes efficiency. Pricing is forward. Billing is backwards. (Yes, we said what we said. 😤)

🏗️🧩 Systems = freedom. Jessica built a “lifetime business” by turning chaos into workflows, then got her time back (15–20 hrs/week kind of back) 🙌⏳

🤝🌶️ Community beats overwhelm. She created a free space for entrepreneurial bookkeepers to connect, problem-solve, and grow faster than she had to: Bookkeeping Systems Lounge https://bksystemslounge.club/ 💬🚀

And if you’re still tracking time like it’s 2009… we need to talk 😄📉➡️📈
