Stop Dreading Bookkeeping: The SBS Way


If your stomach turns every time someone says "bookkeeping", you’re not alone.

Many small business owners didn’t start their business because they love reconciling transactions. But avoiding your books only makes things harder in the long run.

At SBS, we meet clients where they are, whether they’re spreadsheet pros, paper receipt collectors, or somewhere in between.

The key? Creating a bookkeeping system for small business owners that actually works for you, not against you.


Why Your Bookkeeping System Might Not Be Working

  • You're trying to use a system that doesn't match your workflow

  • You're doing everything yourself with no support or structure

  • You’ve had a bad experience with a previous accountant or software


General Recommendations for Building a Sustainable Bookkeeping System

  • Start by considering how you actually run your business day-to-day

  • Choose tools that align with your habits, budget, and available time

  • Decide whether you'd prefer to learn how to manage your books yourself or delegate to someone else


Whether you check in monthly or prefer to stay hands-off, your system should support your workflow and reduce stress.

A good bookkeeping process isn’t just about numbers—it should also bring peace of mind.



Stillwater Business Solutions is run by Karolyn and Bryan, a tech-savvy and community-focused team who believe bookkeeping should feel collaborative and empowering—not confusing. Whether you're looking to simplify your systems or get support you can trust, we're here when you're ready. No pressure. Just people-first accounting that fits your business.
