A course for accounting & bookkeeping firm owners

Your processes are in your head.
That's the problem.

A structured course for building the documentation your firm actually runs on — training manuals, SOPs, and checklists, done in the right order.

The problem

If you're unavailable,
does the work
still get done?

When your processes live in your head, every question has to go through you. Every new hire takes months to feel independent. Every absence creates a bottleneck.

It's not that you haven't thought about documenting things. It's that it always feels like something to do later. There's never later.

Your standard is actually multiple standards, applied inconsistently depending on who's working and what they remember.

The solution

Documentation built
to actually be used.

Four modules covering which processes to document first, how to build each type, and how to sequence the work so you're not trying to do everything at once.

  • 01A training manual your new hires can actually follow from day one
  • 02SOPs written to be used — not filed and forgotten
  • 03Checklists that function as quality gates, not just reminders
  • 04A build order so you start with what costs you the most right now
What changes

Where you land
after The SOP Edit.

Four modules covering the three types of documentation every firm needs. Here's what building them gets you.

No more

Team questions you shouldn't have to answer — how it's done, what the standard is, what happens in this situation

Instead

A documented answer every team member can access without pulling you into it

No more

Inconsistent delivery — where quality depends on who's handling the file and what they happen to remember

Instead

A written standard that keeps delivery consistent regardless of who does the work

No more

Starting over when something goes wrong — no audit trail, nothing to review or improve

Instead

A system you can audit, hand off, and keep improving as your team grows

This course is for you if

You know it needs to be documented.
You just haven't done it yet.

  • Your firm has grown but your processes haven't been written down
  • Team members ask questions that should have a documented answer
  • Training a new hire takes longer than it should because nothing is standardized
  • You've been meaning to do this for two years and keep putting it off
  • You want to eventually step back from day-to-day delivery — and know you can't do that without documentation
Investment

Get it out of your head and into a document.

A system your team can follow — with or without you in the room.

Built by

Two people who have lived
every stage of this problem.

Michelle Arnason Accountant & Course Lead

Built and refined this system inside a real accounting firm — learning through years of undocumented processes, inconsistent delivery, and the hard-won realization that the work can't scale if it only lives in your head.

Joelle Kindret Operations

Brought the operational structure to make documentation repeatable and teachable — turning the method into something you can implement immediately, regardless of where your firm is right now.

Together they distilled what actually works into something you can implement immediately, regardless of where your firm is right now.
