End The Confusion And Master Your Accounting & Taxes...

.... Get your accounting and finances organized, without using Quickbooks or hiring a professional, even if you have no experience and/or are behind on your records and taxes!

Accounting & Taxes

Have you been surprised by how challenging it can be to learn what you need to know, track your accounting and save on taxes for your business?

Accounting and taxes are often overwhelming and frustrating activities that small business owners dread because accounting and tax solutions aren't made specifically for small business owners or new entrepreneurs just getting started.

Knowing your business numbers and saving taxes is important for the longevity and growth of your business. I've seen many business owners GIVE up on their business because although they have plenty of sales, they can't get the profitability right because they don't know their numbers.

This doesn't need to be YOU!

Any Of The Following Sound Familiar?

You've been trying to figure it all out on your own... Endless online searches haven't simplified things. Even when you do find an answer, it prompts more questions... How are you supposed to know all of this?!
You're frustrated... Trying to piecemeal together business and accounting and taxes, is an epic task... I know it's frustrating for bookkeepers - let alone business owners!
Trying to use Quickbooks yourself... Quickbooks is designed for 'bookkeepers' who specialize in the software... It's no wonder that it can feel confusing, expensive and not flexible if you're trying to do it yourself...
Tried or trying to hire a bookkeeper... So many people have a bad experience because how can you hire someone to do something that you yourself don't understand!... (Plus you probably don't have the systems setup that you need (& depending on your side, it just may not be worth it!)
Questions continue to come up and you can't find a straight answer! When you do find an answer, it always leads to more questions... No one has a straight, consistent answer, let alone a simple explanation!
Tired of trying to figure it out on your own... You wish there was a simple, step-by-step solution, which included a way for you to get your questions answered... Is that too much to ask for?

This is NOT the way it should be for you and your business!

You Deserve A Better Solution!

Small businesses are SUPER important and the accounting is a key part of whether a business succeeds or fails.

After working in public accounting for years, getting a master's degree in accounting, working as a 'tax expert' for large corporations, teaching college accounting & tax courses --- I decided that I was committed to finding courageous and driven business owners, like you, a solution.

However, I couldn't FIND you a solution, so I CREATED a solution for you!

Finally, Quickly Master Your Accounting Records, Plus Have EVERYTHING You Need for Taxes, without the Overwhelm, Dread or Confusion...

I got you covered in my E-course: Master Your Accounting & Taxes!

which includes the Auto-Accounting Spreadsheet Template & Tax Template Library

I created a spreadsheet and training that covers everything you need for your accounting and taxes, in one step-by-step training.

I searched everywhere for a spreadsheet, but I couldn't find any templates, anywhere, that allow you to track complete business accounting records.

The 'auto' spreadsheet template in this course, allows you to have:

complete accounting records that you need for loans, certifications, and your business to succeed (Income Statement and Balance Sheet)
the easiest accounting records to maintain (no debits and credits)
understand your finances and track profitability by your jobs or services (if desired)
and reconcile bank accounts automatically!

What People Are Saying...

Mark T from Canada

Founder & Owner of a Construction Company

I wanted to reach out to say thank you for everything that you did for me. It is so appreciated. I am so grateful that you came into my life to teach me a very valuable lesson in my life.

My business is now organized and easy to take care of. I am not an accountant but the way you set up the spreadsheets, I am actually ahead of my accountant. I know exactly what he is going to do even before he doses something. You know that I haven't been so lucky with accountants before you showed up in my life. Wow! Now I've got one of the best accountants, in my opinion, to help me get organized in my business and to help me see the true numbers that run my business.

You took my hand and walked me down the road. You showed me how easy it is to stay on top of my books and my company. Because of that I now see how I can grow the company to where I would like it to be.

Jacob L from NH

Student

There's no doubt about Amanda being a good instructor... I never miss her class because I just enjoy her teaching and the environment. She forces everyone to ask questions...

I've never had an instructor like this. I highly recommend her to students and anyone who wants to learn business.

Victor V from CO

Self-Employed Consultant

"Before going through the spreadsheet template, I had several pdfs and other excel spreadsheets trying to help me calculate all of my expenses and tax information.

Going through Amanda’s template was simplisticly useful for having all of the information easily calculated. I only had to enter in a few things and the rest was taken care of. The Summary and Payment tracker included is very helpful for keeping all of my confirmed quarterly payments organized in one file."

Tom N from PA

Consultant

It was outstanding! The spreadsheet for tracking my business expenses, quarterly taxes, balance sheet, etc. was just what I needed. Having the ability to talk directly with Amanda and get her advice was worth way more than I paid for the class!

Hand holding by Amanda to get the spreadsheet right made all the difference...You can read all the books you want, but being able to ask a question to someone who knows what they are doing was a huge plus."

Joshua H from NY

Investor

Amanda guided me through starting my business; creating my LLC, getting business insurance and things like that.

I tried to do them on my own, but I had so many questions and Amanda knew every answer. If I had only found her sooner. She would also help me with getting sales started. She would ask me questions about what I really wanted and then lay out options for how to proceed. She would guide me through choosing what I really wanted to do next, and often she would call me out when I was stalling.

This was good because I didn't expect this when I first started my business; I didn't expect some things to be so hard to get through. Sometimes I doubted her, but I can tell you that she has a knack for knowing what to do and guiding you to choose what's best for you.

Your Instructor

AMANDA RUSSELL MSA MBA EA

Amanda gained a high-level of accounting & tax expertise through earning a Masters in Professional Accounting, an MBA, and working at two of the "big 4" public accounting firms, (PriceWaterHourseCoopers and KPMG).

She was disturbed by the way that small business owners were underserved by the professional services (accounting, taxes and law). She always excelled at comprehension and eduction, and she began to develop her educational career through teaching at colleges & universities.

There Amanda encountered small business owners taking college courses to help them with their small businesses. College courses aren't designed for small business owners. They are also costly and time-consuming. Again, she was disturbed by how desperate small business owners were for a quality solution for their accounting and taxes.

Through education and the internet, she saw an opportunity to use what she had learned to serve the underserved small business owners with better solutions and education--tailored to answering their specific questions and solving their problems.

Amanda's courses focus on helping small business owners master their accounting and taxes, so that they can focus on growing their business, mastering personal finance goals, and having a bigger impact in their communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course right for me? I'm not sure...

If you've read through this sales page, and you relate to the struggles I've explained, then this course is probably perfect for you.

However, there are some situations that the spreadsheet isn't setup for. These things aren't usually applicable for small business owners, but you should make sure that these don't apply to you or that you are prepared to do some extra work... That being said, the course can still be helpful conceptually.

If you have the following 2 situations, the course may not be applicable for you:

Accrual Method of Accounting: The auto spreadsheet templates that this course is currently based on are for cash method, not accrual.
- If you need accrual, you can customize the spreadsheet to account for accrual method, but I would plan to hire us for extra help to do so (this is NOT covered in the course)
Auto-Updating Balance Sheet Report: The balance sheet report is the one component of the spreadsheet that you must update manually (some aspects are auto, but you must check it and do some parts manually). Most people only use a balance sheet occasionally. In the course, I recommend updating and saving a PDF of your Balance Sheet report monthly.
- Doing the Balance Sheet manually is the trade-off for how we are able to make the spreadsheet work without debits and credits.
- However, If you want an automatically updating Balance Sheet, this spreadsheet doesn't currently do that.
- I think this is actually beneficial because it 1) keeps the template simple, and 2) forces people to actually understand this often miss-understood report.

The following 2 situations are less of an issue, but still something I want to you to be aware of:

You have a bigger business: The more transactions you have, the more work you will need to do and sometimes accounting software might be better for your situation. This is a fine line and depends on your personal preference & what you've been through.
- If you have an advanced business with lots and lots of transactions then you may prefer to stick with a software, and get help using the software.
- That being said, spreadsheets can be setup to import tons of transactions, but if you have a bigger business, you should be prepared to put in more resources to get help for advanced situations.
You sell products: The focus of this course is more for service based businesses. For most small businesses, products are just treated as another expenses. But, if you are selling products, you might be better off in accounting software.
- Based on specifically how you sell products, you will need to do some customization for tracking your product cost and sales.
- There are many ways to do this and I just haven't had enough people with this situation to be able to come up with a template that applies to everyone's situation. Therefore, you just need to be prepared that you may need to make some customizations for your product sales... You can post your questions, and I will add templates & trainings based on your situation.

Also, it's worth pointing out here that sometimes people are looking for something that doesn't exist. Accounting is a cumbersome activity and I can't change that! This course is the simplest solution I've found (of course that's why I created it!)

If you still have questions about 'if this course is right for you,' shoot me an email at contact@amandarussell.mba. I would love to help you decide. Keep in mind, I get a lot of email and sometimes it does take time for me to reply. You can reach out to my team at contactus@utdu.info and get a faster response.

What types of businesses are covered in the template?

Our accounting templates are made for all types of legal and tax businesses (LLC, sole proprietor, partnership, and s-corporation) and are included

Plus, we have tax templates that cover all the information you need for additional tax write-offs and if you are ever audited. Often, this information is completely overlooked.

Our template library covers all the specific situations that only some people have, such as rental properties, mileage log, home office, bitcoin, etc.

Will I be able to ask questions during the class?

Yes, you can ask questions on every post within the training course. We responds to every question weekly!

Is there a money back type of guarantee?

We have chosen not to offer refunds because we want people to join who are serious and dedicated to using the course and getting results. Plus, after registering, you can save all of the templates and resources, so when we allowed refunds, people signed up just to save all of our content for free. Unfortunately, this has influenced our decision not to allow refunds.

Buying online can be scary, but...

You can get to know Amanda's teaching style and integrity of teaching by watching 100s of her videos on YouTube
You can download and go through her free training.
You can always get your money back if someone doesn't deliver what's on a sales page online. That's part of consumer protection rules, which we of course, follow.

What if I'm an S-corporation?

Yes, this is for you!

However, you may also need the S-corporation course if you haven't setup your s-corp properly.

A big area of confusion with the S-corp is paying yourself W-2 wages, the correct amount and catching up past years. There can be hefty fines and penalties associated with failing to file payroll or paying the wrong amount - so I highly recommend addressing this asap!

The course has S Corp specific training and checklists for how to get setup and caught-up on payroll, including specifics for:

SPREADSHEET TEMPLATE: Business Tax Types Comparison (will/does the S-corp save me money?)
SPREADSHEET TEMPLATE: Calculating Reasonable Compensation Amount (how much do I need to pay myself to save taxes and be legit for an IRS audit?)
Catching up all of your payroll tax filings if you haven't been doing them
How to request late penalties to be removed
TEMPLATES: Accountable Reimbursement Plan (How to setup proper payroll plans to reimburse yourself for expenses)
Checklists for every part of the process!

Note: you will have an opportunity to purchase this course (and others) at a discount, after registering for this course.

How long should I plan to spend on this course?

The course is made up of posts of written instruction and short videos. If you did the entire course in one sitting, it would take a few hours, depending on how fast you move through it.

However, the course is designed (like all my courses) to help you actually complete the task.

So you are being guided through this course to setup your accounting and tax records in a spreadsheet. While it would certainly be great to go through the course from start to finish, you can just use it to guide you through the steps and refer back to it as needed.

Some posts are optional and may not apply to your situation.

It would be normal to need to re-watch the training videos many times, to help the concepts sink in. This is why an e-course is so great for simplifying these topics because you need to re-listen over and over!

So, I DON'T need any other course to do my accounting and taxes?

No, some situations may need my other courses. Many situations will only need this course.

I know that might sound like, "You said this was all I needed!!" Please understand that this is true for many situations. Some situations are more complicated and separate from income accounting & income taxes. This might be understood, but try to understand that Amanda is trying to do the best, clearest training for the most people.

If you have the following complicated situations, Amanda has other courses that can help you:

If you are confused by "business entities" and what that really means, or you are trying to decide what type of business to form, including the best business setup for "saving taxes"; you need the course: "Choosing the Best Type Of Business To Form; When & Why To Form Each Type of Business"
If you need to pay yourself or employees as a W-2 employee, then you would need the "Paying Workers & Business Owners" Course
If you've elected S-corporation status for taxes and need to correctly pay yourself as an owner-worker, then you need:
1. If you are just getting payroll setup, you can just go use the software Gusto
2. However, if you need HELP and/or to Caught-Up, then you definitely need the "Paying Workers & Business Owners" Course
If you're investing in a Multi-Member LLC or you have a Multi-Member LLC or Partnership, which is taxed as S-corp or P-ship, then there is a concept of Basis, which you should track to know the value of the partners investment. Amanda covers this in "Basis for LLCs, Partnerships, & S-corporations"
