Created by Regan Bashara, a Level 2 QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor with over a decade of experience supporting creative and service-based businesses.

This isn’t a performance.
It’s structure that protects your creative work.

Is This For You?

The Bookkeeping Foundation Kit is for creative business owners who know their finances matter—but feel stuck reacting instead of maintaining a system.

This is a good fit if:

  • You fall behind and then avoid your books altogether

  • You’ve tried templates, courses, or “simple systems” that assumed unlimited energy

  • You want structure

  • You don’t want to start over every time

This is not a good fit if:

  • You want someone else to manage your books for you

  • You’re looking for advanced tax planning or CFO-level strategy

  • You want a one-time setup that never needs adjustment

  • You’re not willing to engage with your finances at all

If you’re somewhere in the middle—interested, cautious, and not totally convinced—that’s okay.

This Kit was built for people who want supportable structure, not a personality transplant.

See what’s inside the Kit:

The Bookkeeping Foundation Kit gives you a clear, repeatable structure for setting up and maintaining your bookkeeping—without assuming perfect habits, constant motivation, or unlimited capacity.

It does three specific things:

  • Helps you set up QuickBooks Online intentionally

  • Supports accurate, understandable financial records

  • Gives you a bookkeeping practice you can return to over time

It does not automate your finances or promise shortcuts.

  • Set up QuickBooks Online so your accounts and categories actually reflect how your business works.

    By the end of this part, you’ll have:

    • A clean, intentional QBO setup (not the default one)

    • Categories that reduce second-guessing and rework

    • A structure you can step away from and come back to without breaking it

    This is the foundation everything else relies on.

  • Keep your books up to date through consistent data entry and reconciliation—so your numbers reflect what actually happened.

    By the end of this part, you’ll have:

    • Income and expenses recorded in a repeatable way

    • Bank and credit card accounts reconciled without dread

    • Financial records you can look at and understand

    This is where trust in your numbers gets built.

  • Build a realistic bookkeeping rhythm that helps you stay current without relying on motivation or perfect habits.

    By the end of this part, you’ll have:

    • A simple workflow for staying up to date

    • A way to return to your books after gaps without starting over

    • A practice that holds through busy seasons and low-energy weeks

    This is what makes the system sustainable.

  • 30 days access to my private entrepreneurial Community. Virtual office hours with me, your Numbers Witch! Plus a live content tutorial each month and exclusive Live Q&A for my clients.

About the Creator

I’m Regan Bashara, a bookkeeping educator and QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor with over a decade of experience working with small businesses and creatives.

I built the Bookkeeping Foundation Kit because most bookkeeping systems fail for the same reason: they assume ideal conditions. Perfect habits. Consistent energy. Endless attention.

That’s not how most creative businesses operate.

This kit is the structure I teach when the goal isn’t optimization—but sustainability.
