Where Canadian service-based business owners come to take control of their business finances and feel ooh-la-la confident for tax season
No more stuffing receipts in a shoebox.
No more paying yourself peanuts.
No more avoiding yo’ money.
No more stuffing receipts in a shoebox. No more paying yourself peanuts. No more avoiding yo’ money.
Do the words taxes, write-offs and cash flow make you suddenly want to sort the laundry or procrasti-clean the kitchen pantry?
you are not alone, my friend.

ANY OF THESE THOUGHTS SOUND FAMILIAR?
💭 “Wait. How much can I pay myself this month?”
💭 “I guess I’ll have to hire an accountant to know how much I should be saving for taxes…”
💭 “I’m not sure how to tell if my services are priced right…”
💭 “I’ll just buy this new fancy business thing and write it off as an expense. That’s how it works, right?”
💭 “Ugh. I wish I knew how to take control of my money so I could stop guessing about my finances”
As a finance-fanatic and CPA, I’ve helped hundreds of business owners get in the driver’s seat when it comes to their finances, and I’ve got a hot take that’ll change your relationship with your money foreva-eva.
If you want to make tracking and stacking your money a breeze, you need a solid bookkeeping process that’s tailored to your business.
Because solid bookkeeping will give you a crystal-clear, 360° view of how much cash-money you’re bringing in, spending to run your business, and pocketing as sweet, sweet profit.
The truth is, when you know how money works in your business, you can make smart money moves with confidence, like bumping up your salary, cutting expenses, and budgeting to hire help.
Plus, it doesn't hurt to know how much cash you have on hand to pile into that rainy-day account. Or to buy a new, shiny thingamajig for your kid or your pet.
But the best part?
When you have a solid bookkeeping process, you won’t have to guess about the financial health of your business anymore.
Because you’ll easily be able to make data-informed money decisions.
(CAN I GET A HALLELUJAH?!)
In other words, your bookkeeping process is your #1 wing(wo)man when it comes to building the right financial foundations for a profitable business AND ensuring your financial future shines bright like a diamond.
Maybe you are thinking
“Yeah, but... numbers just REALLY aren’t my jam”
OOO, good news for you, friend.
You don’t have to be a math whiz or go googly-eyed over spreadsheets to know your numbers and make smart money moves.
(Srsly. Bookkeeping has more to do with having easy, repeatable processes in place than it does with crunching numbers—even the pros leave the number-crunching to the computers.)
🤔 OR, MAYBE YOU’RE THINKING,
“But, Kristine. I keep my receipts in a Ziploc next to the kitty litter. Doing my books is going to be a NIGHTMARE.”
To which I say: The shortest way out is through.
Is a whole pile of receipts annoying? Triple yes.
But with the right process, you can have that bag o’ mess sorted (and a brand new process dialed in) in no time.
THE TRUTH IS
Knowing your numbers and making smart money moves in your business is totally doable
🤔 OR, MAYBE YOU’RE THINKING,
“Cool. My records should be 100% perfect before I get started though… right?”
To which I say: Nah.
Bookkeeping isn’t about getting it exact, it’s about getting it mostly right so you can track trends, make predictions about your money, and make sound decisions. All while audit-proofing your biz.
The only reason organizing your finances feels icky is because no one’s taught you how to do it.
Not your school. (But, why?).
Not your accountant. (Nice guy. Doesn’t love questions.)
Not Google. (🙏 Promise me you’ll never use Google as your financial advisor again.)
Buuut, all that’s about to change.
Picture it ... Imagine what it’ll feel like to be able to make confident money decisions like a CFO
💸
Picture it ... Imagine what it’ll feel like to be able to make confident money decisions like a CFO 💸
Imagine what it’ll feel like to make confident money decisions like a CFO
...without actually hiring one. Now THAT is a superpower.
💸 You’ll have mo’ money for your mission
💸 You’ll be able to strategically save on taxes… like, 100% legitly
💸 You’ll set saving and income goals and actually hit them
💸 You’ll be able to predict your business growth and monthly cash flow
💸 And you’ll maximize your profits because you’ll be making smart money moves on the reg
ALL of that is possible for you, friend.
Yup. You can get your books sorted, know your numbers, and get intentional with yo’ finances in Just a few weeks.
All you need is a bookkeeping whiz who loves chatting money, math, and music to show you how it’s done. (And to hold your hand if you need it!)
MEET YOUR FINANCIAL HYPE WOMAN
It’s me, Kristine.
If we haven’t met on the ‘gram... ‘eyy!
I’m your go-to money expert, forever dance partner, and that friend who has to sing along to the 90s and early 00s hip-hop and R&B playlist.
Ever since I dropped out of the corporate finance world and started Caritas Company in 2015, I’ve been on a mission to teach small service-based biz owners how to make sense of their cents, manage their cash, and get intentional with their finances.
Why? For 2 main reasons.
☝️ Because as a numbers-nerd and spreadsheets superfreak, taking the overwhelm out of finances is my bread and buttah, and...
✌️ Because I believe being a service-based business owner isn’t all about the Benjamins.
It’s about being in control of your future so you’re never left scrambling to make ends meet.
It’s about helping more clients and making a big impact.
It’s about carving out your own path so you can spend more time with your kiddos or your pets or your plants.
You already have the smarts, creative drive, and ambition to run a killer biz.
All you need to lock in your success is a little cash-money know-how, some simple systems, and a financial hype woman you can hit up with all your questions.
I cannot wait to welcome you into my corner of the internet where I’ve helped over 100 biz owners take control of their finances, make smart money moves, and feel ooh-la-la confident in their cash.
It’s time to join me inside and get ready to partaay.
You game?

HOLY MONEY BATMAN. I FEEL LIKE I’M IN CONTROL AGAIN. MY MIND ISN’T BURDENED WITH PILES OF RECEIPTS AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I’M AT FINANCIALLY
OMG I knew I didn’t really know what I was doing with my books, but I did NOT realize how not knowing or understanding my numbers was affecting my entire business.
120% recommend this course for anyone who is unsure of their business finances. It’ll teach you the practical bookkeeping things (like how much tax to charge), but it’ll also show you how that uncertainty rolls into the other parts of your business (like goal-setting and decision-making).
Once you develop a good financial foundation for your business, everything else gets a little easier to stack on top. (Super corny, but it’s true!)
— Kellsey Ronaghan, Founder, Made by Kellsey
AFTER THIS BOOTCAMP, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE AN ACTION PLAN.
And I also feel like I now have a support system that's not intimidating because Kristine is so open and honest.
And seeing that my peers are also in the same boat, I don't feel so alone!

I NOW HAVE AN EASY-TO-FOLLOW CHECKLIST AND WORKFLOW ON WHAT TO DO WEEKLY AND MONTHLY.
I tend to get really overwhelmed when it comes to finances and I shut down.
After attending Bookkeeping Bootcamp, I now have an easy-to-follow checklist and workflow on what to do weekly and monthly.
Chelsea Radke, Pastry Chef & Teacher, Black Dog Bakery
I FEEL EMPOWERED INSTEAD OF OVERWHELMED!
This course covered enough basics to make me *actually* understand what I needed to know (and not just pretend to understand).
I love that I now know what statistics to pull to make decisions that will help my business grow. Kristine took an intimidating topic and made it easy to understand.
Ayesha R., Web Designer, Ayesha Santos Design
THE WEEKLY LIVE OFFICE HOURS AND BOOKKEEPING DEMOS WERE THE MOST VALUABLE PART OF THIS COURSE!
Listening to other business owners ask questions I may not have thought about and just chatting positively about finances and goal planning was so wonderful.
I highly recommend this course to everyone who wants to be more knowledgeable and intentional with their business finances.
Mandy P., Launch & Operations Manager, Organization Overhaul
I FOUND MORE CLARITY AND IMPROVED MY WORKFLOW FOR MY BUSINESS.
Kristine made a typically dry topic so much more fun and approachable. She talked about the balance sheet, burn rates, etc. in layman’s terms. I never felt overwhelmed or stressed over my accounting protocols.
I found this extremely helpful and I can feel more confident come tax time. I would absolutely recommend this online course!

THE BURN RATE CALCULATOR IS SUCH A GAME-CHANGER. I’VE NEVER HAD A CONCRETE WAY TO CALCULATE WHAT I SHOULD BE PAYING MYSELF, LET ALONE WHAT I NEED TO BE MAKING IN MY BIZ — ESPECIALLY FACTORING IN TAXES AND PROFIT MARGINS.
Now I know exactly what goals I need to hit every month, quarter, and year to make sure I can support myself with my business. This year, I’ve already hit goals I thought would take 6 months to hit, just because I’ve been setting realistic goals and have a much better understanding of my burn rate! For myself and my business!
— MacKenzie Johnson, Project Manager, Sit Studio
BEFORE THE BURN RATE CALCULATOR, I UNDERPRICED MYSELF, COMPARED MY PRICING WITH OTHERS IN MY FIELD AND LIVED PAY CHEQUE TO PAY CHEQUE.
I usually “stole” money from my business to cover my life. After using the burn rate calculator, I can confidently send project quotes that fully compensates me for my hard work and covers my living expenses. I’m now spending less time comparing my pricing with others and have drastically improved my business spending.
— Amanda Sewell, Founder, Stellar Theory
I LOVED ALL THE BONUS INTERVIEWS - IT MADE THIS COURSE MORE HUMAN AND CONVERSATIONAL.
I felt so motivated and supported in so many ways beyond finances. The mindset, financial wellness and organizational tips were an added bonus that really pushed me to explore my finances and business on a deeper level.
— Mandy Parkinson, Founder, Organization Overhaul

BB alumni, take the mic
THIS COURSE SHOWED ME HOW MY BUSINESS AND PERSONAL FINANCES ARE LINKED; IT'S GIVEN ME A BIG-PICTURE VIEW OF HOW MY BUSINESS INCOME FITS INTO CREATING THE LIFE I WANT.
Kristine's teaching style is an empowering mix of fun and education. She keeps the energy up, empathizes with her students, and has the CPA knowledge to handle any small business money questions.
Now I know how to keep my books in order, and I'll be completely confident when I'm ready to hand them over to a bookkeeper. When that time comes, I'll also understand how to read my financial statements and manage my business accordingly.
— Karen Styles., Founder, Flow & Fire Coaching
IN WORKING WITH KRISTINE I'VE REDUCED MY STRESS AND OVERWHELM WHEN MANAGING MY FINANCE AND WOULD 100% RECOMMEND HER IN A HEARTBEAT.
I attended Kristine's Bookkeeping Bootcamp overwhelmed with a ziplock full of faded receipts and no idea where to start organizing the bookkeeping for my small business. During the Bootcamp Kristine created an environment amongst participants that allowed us to feel less vulnerable in speaking on money and safe to ask tons of questions. I left that bootcamp with a good foundation of what was required and prepared to take the next steps to organize myself.
— Mecoh Bain, Lifestyle & Commercial Photographer
KRISTINE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND (I DO NOT SAY THAT LIGHTLY) IN ENSURING THAT I UNDERSTOOD THINGS & FELT SUPPORTED.
When I decided that I wanted to learn more about finances in my business, she was the BEST person to go to.
She was so incredibly helpful, personable, and made things super easy to understand for a financially illiterate business owner haha. If you are looking for someone to help you out, definitely contact this lady! She is a true gem!!

FAQ’S
Questions? I got you.
-
Oh, heck no! If you want to get a handle on your money and you don’t consider yourself a numbers person, Bookkeeping Bootcamp is positively made for you.
Idk if you’ve noticed, but I don’t do jargon or CPA-speak either. I’ll break down all the confusing finance terms for you so you can manage your cash the easy way.
-
Short answer: Yes!
Long answer: Triple yes! Here are the top 3 ways you'll benefit from kicking it in BB even if you’re working with a bookkeeper or accountant:
You'll feel more confident in your meetings with your accountant and can understand the reports they're providing you.
Those reports I mentioned... running them will become second nature to you - literally keeping your finger on the pulse of your biz, so you can make smarter day-to-day decisions.
Let's face it, most bookkeepers and accountants don't have time or the desire to teach you the basics. (Which is understandable!) But remember, this is your business - it's your baby - so, it helps to know how to keep it alive. 😊
-
Honestly, the sooner you build good financial foundations for your business, the better. Even if you don’t have a ton of cash flow right now.
Think about it like this:
If you get a sale or book a client tomorrow, do you have the systems in place to collect their payment, log it & track it, and make decisions on what to do next?
BB will help you with ALL of that (and more) so you can make smart money moves from the start.
-
A milli percent yes, I love my product-based BB alum. They include folks who make stunning jewelry, unique pottery, dreamy and delicious cakes, tasty protein energy balls, functional planners and sustainable apparel.
BB will have evvverything you need to organize your finances and make smart money moves.
-
Not quite. I still suggest hiring a professional to file tax returns for you, especially if you're incorporated.
That said, I can promise you that dealing with a tax accountant will never be the same again, and I mean that in the best way possible. You'll feel more prepared and organized and your accountant will LOVE you for it.
-
I’ve got nothing but love for my US-based biz besties, but Bookkeeping Bootcamp is specifically tailored to Canadian tax rules and business structures.
If you’re based in the US and you’re looking for resources to manage your business finances, hop into my inbox or my DMs. I’ll point you in the right direction!
-
As a BB student, you have lifetime access to the course and access to any updates I make to the program for free!
I’m always updating the content, adding new bonuses, and dropping new and improved templates based on what folks need and want.
-
If you hop into the Platinum Edition, you’ll get instant access to the Bookkeeping Bootcamp course AND an invite to the Private Bookkeeping Bootcamp Community for six months (we’re going to have so much funnnn 😩.)
Inside the community, you’ll get access to Semi-Monthly (2x per month) Q&A Office Hours so you can get all your bookkeeping questions answered AND quarterly coaching calls with me where you’ll learn the best ways to manage your money and live your best lyfe.
If you want to hang with your new money-lovin’ friends after the first six months, you’ll be invited to renew your membership. But that’s totally your call.
LET’S TALK ROI
Bookkeeping Bootcamp is about so much more than learning how to track dollars & cents
It’s about leveling up your knowledge.
I’ve seen too many legit amazing businesses shut their virtual doors because they were never given the financial literacy tools to make their businesses profitable and sustainable.
Committing to knowing your numbers is a certified power move.
It’s about confidence.
The confidence to charge more, or hire a website designer without wondering if you can afford it, or ask your tax professional a specific follow-up question so you can plan for your future.
Money confidence is a seriously unique brand of confidence. And once you know your numbers, it’s yours. Fo-ev-ah.
Fo-eva-eva? Fo-eva-eva. Not sorry, Ms. Jackson (ooohh), I am fo’ real.
It’s about freedom.
Want to start a college fund for your kids? Want to know how much money you need to retire five years early? Want to take two weeks off next summer to lounge on the BC coast?
ALL of that starts with knowing your books.
And, if you’re down, I can’t wait to show you how to take control of your business finances and know yo’ money.
Love, hip hop, & endless grande americano blancos,
