About Lynn Talbott, Bookkeeping Coach

Adaptability, Relevance, and Community

Hi! I'm Lynn Talbott!

I've been a bookkeeper for over 20 years. In the beginning, it offered me the flexibility I needed while raising my kids. Soon enough, it offered me the financial freedom I longed for, without being tied to a cubicle in a large accounting firm. I started my own bookkeeping firm in 2012, and before I knew it, it grew to over ten bookkeepers and one human resources specialist. And then, 10 years later in 2022, I sold my business for over seven figures.

It wasn't easy, to say the least! I made plenty of mistakes, (some very expensive!) and learned many lessons the hard way. But that journey gave me critical insight that I can pass on to other bookkeepers.

I understand the challenges you face in growing your own successful company. I believe in a world where you have the freedom to call the shots and live your life. And I want to help you get there!

I am so thankful that Lynn is in my corner!

I met Lynn just as I was starting my own bookkeeping business after admiring her highly successful business from a distance. When we finally met in person, she warmly invited me to ask all my questions and eagerly shared what she had learned after so many years in the bookkeeping industry. She gave me confidence that I was capable of doing the work with excellence, and she continues to be an encouraging and wise resource as I grow my business. I am so thankful that Lynn is in my corner!

We wouldn’t want to run our business without her

We have used Lynn for over 8 years. She had to do forensic bookkeeping the first year and has supervised ever since. We wouldn’t want to run our business without her. I refer her to everyone who needs bookkeeping.

... got me fixed straight away!

Called Lynn when I thought all of my data and hard work had disappeared. Come to find out, data was not lost and my problems stemmed from saving my files on a shared drive (a big no, no). Took remote access and got me fixed straight away. THANKS!!!
