Welcome to the wild world of entrepreneurship, where every dollar counts, and time is more precious than gold-plated avocados at a hipster café. Today, I’m diving into a story that’ll make you chuckle, gasp, and maybe even rethink the way you handle your business finances. Buckle up, folks – this one's a doozy.
Imagine this: You’re a studio owner, a vibrant entrepreneur, or one of the fierce women running a company, juggling a million tasks and making sure your business isn’t just surviving but thriving. Your goal? To build a real business that supports a legitimate source of income, a rock-solid retirement plan, and the freedom to live life on your terms. Enter Pyop Accounting, your go-to full-service CPA and business growth expert, here to turn your studio into a main source of income and a worthy investment. Because, let's face it, life is way too short for low returns on big energy.
Now, let’s talk about time management. We all know how crucial it is. Entrepreneurs have limited resources, and time is undoubtedly the most expensive one. So, what happens when you squander hours on something trivial? Here’s a tale from the trenches.
Meet my friend – we’ll call her Jane. Jane is a recovering accountant, meaning she’s left the corporate number-crunching world but hasn't quite shaken off the habit of tracking every penny. A few days ago, Jane embarked on a billing adventure. She discovered a mischarged item and, being the diligent CPA she is, decided to reconcile the discrepancy down to the last cent.
Four hours later, after much scouring and recalculating, Jane triumphantly unearthed a shocking revelation: she was owed $37. Yes, you read that right. Four hours of painstaking detective work for a grand total of $37. Now, let’s do some quick math – if Jane’s time is worth less than $10 an hour, we’ve got ourselves a problem.
As hilarious (and somewhat tragic) as this story is, it serves as a crucial reminder: Are we really using our resources – especially our time – to the best of our abilities? Jane’s journey through the $37 rabbit hole might be amusing, but it’s also a wake-up call. No one should be losing precious hours on tasks that don’t significantly impact their decision-making or profitability.
So, dear studio owners, entrepreneurs, and kick-ass women in business, let Jane’s saga be a lesson. Embrace financial management with ease, grow your studio into a community powerhouse, and carve a clear path to profitability. Pyop Accounting is here to help you bake smooth financial systems into the very DNA of your business, support a healthy retail and event-driven studio, and remind you that your business’s job is to support you – not the other way around.

Because if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that we’ve got to do better than a $37 rabbit hole.
Optimizing your time starts with identifying tasks that truly require your expertise versus those that can be delegated or automated. Jane’s story highlights the importance of focusing on high-value activities that drive your business forward. Here are a few strategies:

Creativity and CPAs don’t generally go together. Most people think of CPAs as nerdy accountants who can’t talk with people. Well, it’s time to break that stereotype. Lively, friendly, and knowledgeable can be a part of your relationship with your CPA, as demonstrated by Donna and Chad Bordeaux. They have over 50 years of combined experience as entrepreneurial CPAs. They’ve owned businesses and helped business owners exceed their wildest dreams. They have been able to help businesses earn many times more profit than the average business in the same industry and are passionate about helping industries that help families build great memories.
