Some Feedback from our Awesome Students
Hear from some people who have already gone through our courses
"Starting my own bookkeeping practice was tough.  There are so many details and questions even if you're working 100 hours a week. Kninja has been an invaluable resource to my business"

What makes Kninja Courses different from the rest?
We may be biased but we believe that there is nothing else on the market like our Kninja Courses.  Why?  Because we've been there.  We've been where you are and felt the same pain and feelings of fear as you are starting out.  And we want to help you.  That's why we started Kninja, to give back to our community and the industry. 
​​​​​​​In 2017 we were awarded the Intuit Global Firm of the Future title.  If you had asked us when we started if that was possible, we probably would have laughed out loud.  Back then, all we wanted to do was get a client, put food on the table and maybe, if we were lucky, find some clients we liked to work with.  
​​​​​​​ 
That's why we can unequivocally say that there is nothing else like this on the market today to help you get your business started. 
What will I Learn in Start up Susie?
1
Where do I Begin?
The first step is to help you determine where you are.....this is the assessment phase. 

You probably are asking why you need this....we know....so did we!  But it's important, and here's why.

This phase  will also give you a starting point and get you thinking about your end goal.  The end goal is so important, so that you can measure your progress as you go through the course and build your business.
​​​​
Dream, Plan, Act, Achieve.
Step number 2 is creating a plan.  Let's take that end goal from the first step and determine the best way to get you there.  We help you set your goals, then create the strategies and tactics to achieve those goals.  We also teach the difference between dreams and goals - and to make sure all of your goals are SMART goals.  By the end of  this module you will have a created a step by step plan mapped out to get you where you want to go.

And if you don't know where you are going, how will you know when you get there?

3
Pricing. 
So now let's get into some nitty gritty.  Pricing.  Sometimes the toughest part of running your own practice.  One of the most difficult steps is charging what you are worth.

Should you be hourly, flat fee, or should you value price?  What even is value pricing?  That's what we cover in this module series. 

​​​​​​​We demystify pricing and even give you some templates to get you started.
Clients.
Now that you know how to price, let's go out and get you that first client.  But how?  And who?  That's what's covered in Module 4.  Not every client is a good client. Not every client is the right client for you.

We help in determining who is the right client for you? How do you find them?
And we will share the signs to watch out for that help you learn that this is the wrong client for you.

Tools of the Trade
As you are out there getting your first client, let's get you current on the tools of the trade so that you can hit the ground running. 
QuickBooks Online basics and some tips and tricks to save you time and get you well on your way to becoming a pro.

But also, let's create that App Tech Stack, so that you can really leverage the automation and the tools.  
Not sure yet?  Well, thats only content in Five Modules, and there are 11 Modules in Total!!  So what else could there possibly be?

Professional Proposals
OK. You have established your pricing, your service offerings and found a potential new client. Now what?

How do you present your services in a professional, easy to understand way that will help to prevent that major "pain in the a#*" - scope creep?

In this module we will show you how to create powerful proposals that help guide your new lead to becoming a new client without negotiating your pricing.​​​​

Growing Your Firm
We know that great sales and marketing does not usually go hand in hand with being a great bookkeeper.

But, we also know the importance of maintaining a presence on social media, getting found online with a professional website as well as networking.

In this module we will guide you through the critical features that can make your website standout, show you how to setup a professional profile on LinkedIn and build an effective referral network.

Delivering Quality Service
How do you make sure all the work is getting done? How do you know that nothing is falling through the cracks? Even when you are feeling overloaded with work.

Once you get the client signed up it is time to deliver. And, what the client wants is "hassle free" consistent service.

In this module we will share the tools and the steps you need to make so you always deliver the best service possible to all of your clients.

To Measure Is To Know
You cannot manage what you do not measure. But how do you know what you should be measuring?

We will show you the critical drivers that you need to be measuring to keep moving your business forward. How to view your time and what that should mean to your pricing.

You will learn what is MRR? And, why it is so important to your business. 
Are you still not sure yet?
