Bookkeepers On Fire with Deb & Donna

Surprise Thursday Stream 🔥

We went LIVE with Tonya Schulte—construction accounting pro + connector-of-dots. From a yard-sale textbook to WIP wizardry and go-give leadership…this one delivered.

🏗️ From Yard Sale to Job Costing Pro: Tonya’s origin story started with a 1970s accounting book and led to a career devoted to construction accounting (yes, WIP > wishful thinking).

🔧 Right App, Right Fit: For commercial trade contractors she likes Knowify; for homebuilders, Adaptive; and keep an eye on JobTread—the fit matters more than the hype.

 💡 Results > Reports: Discovery starts with the owner’s life goal (hello, ranch dream 🐄). Price for outcomes, not keystrokes; use WIP to steer projects before profit “vanishes.”
