Join us as our guest Tania Pacheco shares how you can attain these desired results. Discover how effective bookkeeping can contribute to your success and empower you to navigate the financial landscape with confidence.
My special guest is Tania Pacheco. Tania Pacheco is the founder of TP Bookkeeping, a strategic bookkeeping firm that works with creative agencies and consulting firms. With a background in corporate accounting, Tania brings a wealth of experience and expertise to her role. Since starting TP Bookkeeping in late 2018, Tania has steadily grown her client base, now serving over 50 monthly clients.

Tania's strategic approach to growth and her commitment to building long-term partnerships with her clients have been key factors in the success of TP Bookkeeping. With Tania's guidance and knowledge, small business owners and entrepreneurs can gain valuable insights into financial management and make informed decisions to drive their businesses forward.
Know your worth, know your worth. Whatever that is, you need to know it. - Tania Pacheco In this episode, you will be able to:
- Discover the importance of bookkeeping in making informed financial decisions for your business.
- Understand the different roles of bookkeepers, accountants, and CPAs, and how each contributes to the success of your business.
- Determine the level of involvement you need from a bookkeeper and learn how to tailor their services to meet your specific needs. Streamline your business finances with accurate and detailed bookkeeping.
Importance of Bookkeeping in Financial Management Bookkeeping plays an invaluable role in the effective management of an enterprise's finances. It provides a clear, comprehensive understanding of business health, helping owners make informed decisions. Tania Pacheco underscores the need for strategic bookkeeping, enabling businesses to accurately analyze data and establish solid financial foundations.
Roles of Bookkeepers, Accountants, and CPAs Bookkeepers, accountants, and Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) are vital in business financial management, yet they each offer distinct expertise. Tania expertly outlines these roles, noting bookkeepers diligently organize financial data while accountants analyze it for actionable insights. CPAs, specializing in tax preparation, ensure businesses comply with tax laws.
Tailored Level of Involvement The level of involvement a business owner maintains with their bookkeeping services can depend on individual preferences, as stated by Tania. Some prefer constant communication via platforms like Slack or Voxer, while others favor a hands-off approach. A tailored experience enables each business to receive services aligned with their expectations.
Pricing and Organization for Bookkeeping Services Tania explains the pricing structure at TP Bookkeeping, and how most clients are on a monthly retainer for regular tasks. In her words, bookkeepers are innately organized, employing tools like Asana, HoneyBook, and QuickBooks for client management. Organized processes help ensure the smooth and efficient delivery of bookkeeping services

Do you long for a sense of calm and balance in your busy life as a parent and business owner? Our guest, Jenna Hermans, will be sharing effective strategies that you can implement to create a more peaceful and grounded experience, even with the demands of your daily lives.
Jenna co-founded Be Courageous, an agency that breaks the mold by fostering courage in business environments.

Get to know Anabel Oelmann, a game-changer in the world of health and wellness, and a leading advocate for integrated healing. Anabel Oelmann is the Co-Founder and Director of The Healing Company.
Founded just last year, The Healing Company has a bold vision: bring integrated healing to the world, helping millions of people improve their quality of life. Our healthcare system is broken, with 95% of spend going towards treating sickness, yet over 90% of illness is preventable, attributed to lifestyle factors (per the Institute of Functional Medicine). Compelled by the global healthcare crisis and a deep belief in a different way, The Healing Company aims to democratize access to integrated healing by building a community of powerful healing brands through company acquisitions in the wellness space —unlocking individual market impact for each brand in the portfolio and, over time, integrating brands into a closed-loop wellness system. A growing consumer interest in alternative healing practices catalyzed by a pandemic-fueled values reset makes The Healing Company’s mission timely and relevant. Anabel is also the host of the new YouTube interview series, The Healing Hour, which brings together and amplifies the voices of healers, experts, entrepreneurs, and pioneers within the world of integrated healing.
Prior to founding The Healing Company, Anabel started her career as a model, and in facing immense pressure to fit a certain aesthetic began suffering deeply from stress-induced, chronic migraines. She found relief from Eastern medicine, which ultimately led her to become a certified nutritionist and found a functional mushroom company. Her challenges as a founder in the space—with a powerful product, but limited resources to compete in a fragmented, confusing market—shaped her and her co-founder Simon Belsham’s vision for The Healing Company. Together with a team of experts in S-commerce, storytelling, growth, and distribution, they are working to scale the reach and impact of today’s leading healing practices & products.
Entrepreneurs in the health and wellness industry can learn from Anabel's journey and implement practical wellness practices to prioritize health, happiness, and success.
Starting the Healing Company, it was my dream coming true of helping people like myself and really building something that is so grounded in purpose. - Anabel Oelmann
In this episode, you will be able to: * Realize the true potential of nurturing wellness in your daily life to achieve overall well-being. * Gain invaluable insights into preventative healthcare and its role in avoiding future health complications. * Unravel the secrets of building a tight-knit community for your healing brand to guarantee its thriving success. * Attain the tools to conquer self-doubt and navigate risk-taking as a confident entrepreneur. * Harness your unique passions and surround yourself with a supportive network to make your dreams a reality.

In this week’s episode I got to sit down with Aly Giampolo and Colette Dong, female-founder duo of the ness — the celeb-approved wellness method that’s redefining movement for all. The ness workout method is anything but ordinary, offering bounce, a beat based trampoline class that will challenge you both mentally and physically and sculpt, the perfect complement to bounce that will leave you strong, balanced and focused. Listen in to find out more about the passion & purpose behind the ness method.
After dedicating the first 20+ years of their lives studying and practicing movement, the ness founders met as professional dancers in NYC. While training, both were warned that running and other high impact workouts would be detrimental to their professional dance careers. In search of a high intensity, low impact option, they discovered the trampoline as a satisfyingly sweaty form of cross-training.
Experiencing what a positive impact the unique piece of equipment had on their personal bodies and minds, they were inspired to concentrate on a method and share the lasting benefits of rebounding with their community. Listen in to learn more about how Aly & Colette turned their passion into a successful wellness brand that has seen rapid growth from the start.
In this episode you will learn:
- Why celebs are loving the ness method and what sets it apart
- Ways the ness is redefining fitness to be inclusive, empowering and enjoyable
- Keys to a successful business partnership with a friend

Through hustle, networking, and investment in a course, Kaci replaced her management job salary within three months. In 2021, Kaci was diagnosed with cancer and was forced to pivot her business to prioritize flexibility and freedom.

In this week’s episode I got to chat with Taylor Price, also known as @pricelesstay, a globally-recognized Gen Z financial activist and money mentor. After entering university and recognizing the lack of education taught in traditional schooling, Taylor started a blog and founded Priceless Tay to end the ‘silent’ pandemic of financial illiteracy. She has helped over 1,000,000 Gen Zers build a budget, start saving, pay off debt, and invest.
To further her impact, Taylor co-founded Dfinitiv, the startup helping people spend smarter by maximizing their deals, discounts, and offers.
Host of the Priceless Podcast; cohost of the Instagram series Chantel’s Money Moves, Taylor’s work has been featured on Good Morning America, FOX Business, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Business Insider, CNBC, MarketWatch, BuzzFeed, and more.A graduate of the University of Albany, Taylor currently travels around the globe educating Gen Z on personal finance, entrepreneurship, and investing all while being in the comfort of a hoodie and sipping on some bubble tea!
Taylor Price learned about Financial literacy through her parents' small business and her own experience of getting a life changing surgery at 14. Her research into financial literacy led her to start a blog discussing why it should be a required course in all states and eventually to use social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube to spread her message. Through partnerships with brands, she began to help those struggling with finances during the pandemic. She eventually co-founded a company called Dfintiv to help young people maximize their deals and discounts. She also finished her four year bachelor's degree in two and a half years, which helped her credibility and land her first major media op on Good Morning America.
“Failure is a tuition to your success. If you're purposeful and your passion drives your mission, you're unstoppable.”

In this week’s episode I wanted to dive into raising your brand's vibe in 2023. What I mean by this is just taking your brand and turning it up to be a little stronger, so it becomes a little clearer and a little more obvious to your audience. Most people don’t see everything we do, and nothing we do comes across quite as strong as we think it does. They’re not sitting down and seeing your marketing plan the way that you are - they’re seeing everything out of order and with just a glimpse.
So how do we make sure your message is cohesive and clear for anyone that comes across your brand at any time? By taking it up a notch. Ramp it up so your personality really comes through, so the personality and vibe of your brand really show up enough to stand out in people’s minds and have an impact on them. Let’s make a decision to not make people have to wonder in 2023, let’s make it easy and clear for them to see what we’re all about this year and make sure our vibe really shines through.
In this episode you will learn:
-What it means to raise the vibe of your brand and why you need it in 2023
-Why showing the personality of your brand matters
-How to define your business’ vibe and make it shine

In this week’s episode I got to sit down with speaker and leadership coach, Shea Smith. She shares how while she struggled to embrace her role as a leader, she discovered how to empower herself and her team by celebrating wins, owning her role, checking her schedule and setting up support systems.
"You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems. Your goal is the desired outcome. Your system is the collection of daily habits that get you there." -James Clear
Shea Smith is a speaker and leadership coach who helps female entrepreneurs use systems to simplify their life and business. She has been an entrepreneur for the past 10 years and has a passion for helping women own their authority and leadership.
Shea Smith was left feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to approach her new role as a leader, but she quickly learned how to take ownership of the role and create a system to support her growth. She started small, focusing on her weekly wins and setting up systems of support for herself and her team. With the practice of celebration, she was able to gain perspective and find success, no matter how small, in every aspect of her business. Shea's journey ultimately taught her the power of owning her role, setting up support, and celebrating her successes - all of which empowered her to become the strong leader she is today.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
-
How you owning your role as a leader help you move forward in your business.
-
What you can do to celebrate your successes and create momentum in your business.
-
How you can create a supportive environment and empower the people in your business to be leaders.

In this week’s episode I wanted to share a behind the scenes look into what I’m planning for the new year and what my intentions, word of the year, and goals are for 2023. I always love when other people share things like that, so I thought I would do it too for those of you who like that behind the scenes look at someone else’s business.
If you’re listening for the first time, I’m Alessandra, the founder of Quotable Media Co, a PR and media agency, and the host of this- the Quotable Podcast. I started this podcast as a way to connect with and inspire other female entrepreneurs, founders, and business owners. After being in business for 10 years, and having to take my office fully remote after Covid, I am proud to have gotten this far even with the shifts in my business model that took place. The beginning of the year always energizes me to set my intentions and goals for the year, so I wanted to share mine with you, as I recalibrate my priorities. Listen in to hear the things I am planning to work on this year and hopefully be inspired to set some of your own intentions and goals this year too.
If there’s one thing I am adamant about it’s that I love setting goals and planning them and working toward them. I also find it really important to revisit them regularly and ensure they are still working toward what you want for your life or your business, because that does sometimes change and that is allowed to change, even within one year.
In this episode you will learn:
- Why I’m planning my goals around different parts of the year
- What it means to amplify and how I plan to do that this year
- Ways I’m planning to improve and prioritize profitability this year

On this week’s episode I got to sit down with Palak Shah, a mechanical engineer-turned-real estate investor, who is on a mission to empower women and minorities to build their own real estate empires, despite the risk-averse conditioning of their past. Palak is the founder and CEO of Open Spaces, a company with two arms: Open Spaces Capital, an investing arm with a $10 million portfolio of residential and commercial rentals, and Open Spaces Women, an education arm that helps others transition from the corporate grind to real estate investing.
Palak previously worked as a mechanical engineer for 17 years and, after deciding to have kids, realized she had to choose between motherhood and career growth. She and her husband decided to buy a few rent ready rentals and, after realizing it was something they wanted to pursue, Shah quit her job to focus on real estate investing. She found a value add investing strategy that allowed her to buy distressed properties
"We don't realize that the higher up we climb in the corporate ladder, the less time we have for the family. And it came to a point where I felt like I was in a very unfair position where as a woman I had to choose between enjoying motherhood and enjoying career growth."
In this episode you will learn:
- How to build wealth through long-term rental properties as opposed to flipping them.
- How to leverage money up front when starting out in real estate investing.
- How to use systems and processes to make real estate investing more profitable.

Jess Bubbico is a human design and gene keys coach who helps entrepreneurs create businesses that feel authentic and aligned for them.
This episode is about how human design can help people understand their own unique success code.

"If we don't have that inner core knowingness of our own personal success code, of what we want, of what's important to us, then we might find ourselves constantly getting pulled in different directions, doubting ourselves, et cetera."

Don't know how to get started with systems in your business? In this week’s episode I got to chat with Megan Galane, the CEO and founder of the SOS Advantage, where she helps CEOs in the service-based industry build operational systems. Galane got into systemizing when she realized that her family's company wasn't as digitized as it could be. She then went into building her own company with the goal of immediately replacing herself.
"I learned that I'm never going to stop doing what I enjoy doing, which is creating businesses. So I had to learn to systemize. I had to learn how to delegate. I had to learn how to run a team efficiently."
Megan Galane was working in her family's company and was interested in creating passive income on the side. She was pushed to the edge of burnout and had to make a choice between her health and business. She chose her health and spent a year systemizing her business so she could eventually step away and still have it run smoothly. After committing to the process, she was able to find a balance between her health and business and eventually created an agency where she is now replaceable. She focuses on creating systems that allow for her team to take on the day-to-day tasks and for her to step into a CEO role.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
- How to systemize and build a business so that it can run without the founder's involvement.
- The importance of choosing one's health over business.
- How to make the transition from a one-person business to a company with multiple employees.

On this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Cecile Antier, mother, fashion lover, former lawyer and proud founder & CEO of Les Belles. Launched September 2021, Les Belles is a gender/race/size inclusive tights/hosiery brand that’s completely DTC, and fully sustainable. Cecile revealed that the 3 pillars of Les Belles are to be innovative, inclusive and fun!
Born and raised in France, Cecile has been wearing collants (that’s French for tights) for as long as she can remember. They’re a French woman’s wardrobe staple and central to her fashion story. Cecile wears tights for her own pleasure, to add power to a suit or sensuality to her sneakers.

In this week’s episode, I got to talk with Kelley Higney, the Founder and CEO of Bug Bite Thing, a chemical-free solution that instantly alleviates the stinging, itching and swelling caused by insect bites and stings. Hearing this story was so inspiring to see the passion and personal story behind the launch of what is now a global product.
We chatted about how Kelley and her family were unprepared for the mosquitoes after moving to Florida from California and how her oldest daughter, who was just six-months-old at the time, suffered terribly from mosquito bites. When none of the over-the-counter remedies worked, Kelley knew there had to be a better solution.
Enter Bug Bite Thing: Kelley began to research how other countries were combating insect bites and stings when she came across a little known suction tool. And of course, the day the tool arrived, she actually got a bite walking to her mailbox. She immediately gave it a try and instantly all the itching, swelling, and pain just disappeared! The suction tool transformed the quality of life for her family and she knew she had to share it with the world!

In fact, Bug Bite Thing is now Amazon’s #1 selling product for insect bite relief with over 50,000 reviews and is also available in over 30,000 retail locations across the United States, and is sold in 25 countries.
In this episode you will hear:

Are your pitches just sitting in your drafts waiting for you to press send? I’ve been there too, like so many of us have, and I want to help your pitches move from the drafts folder to sent! Sending out a new pitch can be nerve wracking, especially if you’re not feeling 100% confident. I find that people often get through what they think of as the hard part– coming up with ideas, building their media list, finding the media contact info, drafting a pitch, and then the minute they feel they should send the email there’s something that kind of holds them back or they get a little anxious about actually pressing send, without even really knowing why.
Usually feeling anxious about doing something like this comes from not feeling totally 100% sure about it- either that you’re doing it right or that it will come across right. So here are a couple of things that will make you more confident in feeling ready to actually press send, and even better, to feel excited for what will come from your pitch!
In this episode you will hear:
-Ways to connect with the media that will help your pitch stand out
-Why investing in your branding matters for pitching media
-Tips on how to clarify your ask
-What it means to stand by your pitch
-How to prepare for follow up questions
I would love to hear how this helped you! Comment on this episode’s Instagram post and share who you’re going to pitch next.

This week I am so excited to be chatting with Rachael Meyers, founder of The Collective Co, a coworking space for Boston women to work, gather, collaborate and feel a greater sense of self-worth.
Rachael grew up on the Massachusetts South Shore and after a ten year hiatus living and working in NYC, she and her husband decided to move back to raise their family. As a mother working from home she quickly realized how important it was to have a space dedicated to connection and creation, free from the distractions that home can bring with it. As she spoke with peers, friends and family she realized that she wasn't alone in this need and set out to create The Collective Co.
Rachael and many other moms like her needed a space and community to nurture “all of the little identities” in their lives, outside of motherhood. So she started building out her business plan prior to the pandemic and was set to sign a lease on her new space the week before the world shut down. Listen in to hear how she used her background in marketing to begin building her business and community even without a physical space.
In this episode you will hear:
-How she launched a new business in the middle of the pandemic
-The nitty gritty details of finding and opening a brick and mortar space
-How she used the power of branding to build the business before having a physical space
-The importance of finding your niche & community to driving business forward
-How sharing what you have actually brings value- instead of takes away
We’d love to hear from you. Comment on this week’s episode’s Instagram post with how Rachael’s story has inspired you.

With a degree in marketing, and being raised on Nantucket Island, Renee started going door to door to offer her marketing services. It was then that Nantucket Island Marketing was born. Listen in to hear Renee’s unique business launch story, what decisions have made the difference in her success and how she stays motivated through it all.
“I want this to be a we thing and not just a me thing,” she shared on staying motivated. Renee started building her team in the first few weeks of launching her business and credits her success to having a solid support system early on.
In this episode you will hear:
-How the pandemic propelled her to launch her marketing agency straight out of college
-Why she started building a team early and which hires she made first
-How she scaled her business operations

Consistency or Passion in your business- what is more important for you to have? I think it is consistency and am explaining ALL the reasons why in today's episode. And while today's topic might be a little controversial, I think we should be open to thinking and talking about it when it comes to our business. Is being passionate about your business a good thing? Of course! Will you be passionate every single day, month, or year? Definitely not. Passion is great, but it comes and goes, so it doesn't need to be the driving force behind your business. Consistency is what’s going to make you successful, get you through those tough times, and will be the reason why people believe in you and your business. Having a business should definitely be something that you enjoy and are good at, and being passionate about it is a plus!, BUT consistency is what is going to keep that business going and set you up for success. In this episode you will hear: -Why consistency is more important than passion when it comes to running a business -How passion could lead you down an unsuccessful road to never reaching your full potential -How being consistent will keep your business and clientele for the long haul I would love to hear what you guys think! Do you agree? Disagree? Head over to Instagram and let us know by commenting on this episode posthttps://www.instagram.com/quotablemediaco/. Also, would love to hear about any personal experiences you’ve had! Whether you’ve been super passionate long term in your business, or if you felt your passion fade, did you stick with it or pivot?
