CPA/book keeper

Crystal Maxwell from Keeping Your Booksss, LLC

Hi Florissa, I saw your post mentioning that Loyal Care, LLC may be looking for a CPA and/or Bookkeeper, so I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Crystal Maxwell, and I own Keeping Your Booksss, LLC. I help small business owners with bookkeeping, cleanup projects, reconciliations, financial reporting, and keeping their books organized and tax-ready. I'd love to learn more about your business and see if I may be able to help. I also work with a CPA referral partner if tax services are needed. If you're open to it, I'd be happy to schedule a brief conversation. Thank you,Crystal MaxwellKeeping Your Booksss, LLC

Marketing professional. I need help growing a new part of the business that I don't really know how to grow.

Barry Bean from Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta North

Sounds like an exciting challenge. What is the new part of the business you’re focused on growing?

I am trying to grow both commercial and residential customers. Of course, commercial is better in that it should be larger volume accounts. But residential could also be pretty regular and some of those are large as well. We have a couple of Airbnb customers and those are great. So the answer is, all of the above.

Barry Bean from Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta North

That makes a lot of sense. The Airbnb accounts sound like a great fit since they can generate recurring volume without being as difficult to land as larger commercial contracts. Have you found those customers through referrals, online searches, networking, or another channel?

I own a laundromat and want to grow the wash 'n fold business. The self-service laundromat side has grown a lot, but I don't know how to go out there and market my wash 'n fold business. I have it on the website and google but I probably need to talk to commercial clients (which I'm not good at doing), put out flyers or send out mailers, I'm not sure.

Barry Bean from Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta North

That's a great example. It sounds like you've already proven demand on the self-service side, but the wash 'n fold business may require a different customer acquisition strategy. Out of curiosity, are you primarily targeting individual consumers, or are you trying to grow commercial accounts like salons, spas, Airbnb operators, gyms, medical offices, etc.?

Sales account agent. I need someone to make initial contact with "future" clients while I manage existing ones.

Barry Bean from Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta North

That's a good one. Is the challenge finding qualified prospects, making the initial outreach, or having enough time to consistently do both while serving existing clients?

CPA … optimizing tax liabilities

Barry Bean from Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta North

That’s a good one. Do you feel it’s more about reducing taxes today, or making sure you’re structured properly for future growth and long-term planning?

I would choose a Marketing Professional. As the owner of a business that helps individuals obtain unsecured funding, my focus would be on developing a strategic marketing plan that consistently attracts qualified leads, expands brand awareness, and creates a sustainable growth pipeline. Strong marketing can transform a good business into a scalable one.

Barry Bean from Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta North

Great point. A lot of owners seem to be mentioning marketing and lead generation. Have you found one marketing channel that consistently performs better than the others for attracting qualified leads?

attorney

Barry Bean from Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta North

That's an interesting one. What would you have an attorney focus on first: contracts, compliance, business structure, collections, partnerships, or something else?

They just stopped in on their own. You have some good ideas. How would I find them through online searches or other channels?

Barry Bean from Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta North

Sounds like you've built a great foundation if the Airbnb customers are already finding you organically. There are probably several avenues worth exploring depending on whether you're focusing more on residential, Airbnb hosts, or larger commercial accounts. Happy to continue the conversation via DM and learn more about your goals.
