219. From Laid-Off CPA to 20k Months as a Bookkeeper

Listen to this episode from Profits + Prosecco: The Podcast on Spotify. We’ve had a lot of newcomers to the podcast lately, so in case you’re unfamiliar… Hi, I'm Katie Ferro, licensed CPA, mom of three, and the face behind Profits & Prosecco. And this is the story of how I went from an unplanned corporate exit to becoming a stay-at-home mom, building a part-time bookkeeping business that surpassed my previous tax manager's salary, and working only the hours I used to commute…all while raising three babies. My journey to my bookkeeping business is not perfect, but it’s honest—and I hope that in telling it, if you are somewhere along this path yourself, I can show you what’s possible for you, even if things don’t feel clear right now. They didn’t feel clear—or even possible—to me at the beginning, either. But here I am…and if you’ll allow me, I’d love to help you get to this place, too. This is my story.
