Customer Testimonials

Thank you Julie, I did receive it yesterday after my email to you. I have only had a chance to glance at the book but I can tell already that it is exactly what I have been needing. I am so grateful that you took the time to write a book to help people like myself.

Crystal Whaley

Good Morning, Julie:

I purchased your e-book on in-home bookkeeping last night and have already read the first 150 pages. Your insight is so important to me, and your wisdom and experience shine through on every page.

Thanks so much for your help, and if you ever do write a book about fraud audits, I'd love to get it.

Jeff Minor

Hello Julie!

I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed both of your books. I have had them for a few months now. I took your advice and became a QuickBooks ProAdvisor®, and took Universal Accounting’s Course and I am a PB Professional Bookkeeper through them.

Your books are so down to earth, I take your advice seriously and look to them as a “policies and procedures” manual for my business.

Thanks for publishing and sharing your knowledge and experience with us all,

Karen T. Keller

Mrs. Aydlott,

Thank you for the helpful tips you have included in your book about In Home Bookkeeping.

Thank you so much for you time - I realize that your time is valuable.

Crystal Vander Plaats

My name is Melissa Mercer and I own my own freelance bookkeeping service, Buckeye Bookkeeping Services here in Delaware, Ohio. I purchased your books, "I have QuickBooks, Now What" and "How to Open Your Own In-Home Bookkeeping Service" last fall. I have gleaned a great deal from both books. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in to writing them.

Julie, I just wanted to thank you for your advice. I have my first client! YEAH! Thank you so much for the advice in your book as well. You are a God Send!

Julie,

I was able to download the book and it is just great. Thanks for working with me on this. I will be looking for the spreadsheets and forms.

Thanks again,
Susan Tellier

Mrs Aydlott,

First of all, I want to let you know that I purchased your book, "How to Open Your Own In-Home Bookkeeping Service" and I must tell you, I am really excited about starting my own Accounting/Bookkeeping Business. I have over 7 years experience in Accounting and Financial Analysis and I feel the my experience along with my Master of Business Administration degree in Information Systems Management and my Bachelors degree in Accounting will allow me to utilize my experience and education in my own business as opposed to working for someone else. Your book has really given me inspiration and I am looking forward to this business. I also want to commend you for writing the book with a "laid back" approach. This really allow me to relax and understand the topic better.

I am hoping to get this business going by the end of the year. I also look forward to reading your other books as well.

Thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to submitting a success story once it is off the ground.

Tymone L. Green, MBA,BBA

Julie,

I ordered your book, How to Open Your Own In-Home Bookkeeping Service last week and have been devouring all the information. There's not enough time in my day to get all the reading and researching done that I want to! Thank you for all the wisdom you are sharing with those of us who are wanting to start our own service, too.

Thanks again for all your help!

Sincerely,

Nikki Adler

Dear Julie,

I recently purchased two companion books that you authored as guides in starting my own bookkeeping business. Like you, I, too, have evolved and adjusted my career path to satisfy my needs and interests. I am further motivated by my frustrations with age discrimination and desire/need to play by my own rules.

I really like your attitude and share the high value that you place on self-determination.

Thanks for your inspiration and indulging my need for reassurance. If you have the time to respond to my questions, I’d be thrilled to hear from you.

I wish you all the best.

Your student and admirer,

David Mercer

Hi Julie,

Your In-Home bookkeeping book has been so helpful to me. I’m just starting my own business after working many years as a Corporate Controller or Assistant Controller. I’m 53 and have been doing accounting all my adult life.

I’m all ready to go, got my business license, business plan, office equipment, certifications but I’ve been scared when it comes to getting the clients. I just met with a potential first client and reviewed your book right before I met with them. Your book makes me feel like I’m talking to a supportive friend. It gave me a boost of confidence and I know it showed in the meeting. I’ll refer to your book often. I’m very excited about this new adventure and I want to thank you for providing such excellent information and advice.

Thank you

Jody Kelly

Your book is great, I only read the first 3 chapters and I can't put it down. I'm going to done with it before the end of this weekend.

Thank you for your help and all the great work. please let me know if you need anything.

Your willingness to return emails and answer questions is admirable. I am impressed, especially where in this day and age one does not typically find this type of willingness to help.

Sincerely,

Brian Bosse

Hi Julie:

Wanted to let you know I'm about half way through the book and LOVE it. I've learned so much from you already and I'm not even done yet. I haven't even loaded up the disc yet. I can tell it's gonna be great. I also agree so much with your work philosophy, ethics, etc. I feel like I have known you as a work friend, as a friend would talk to another about work issues. It's really helped me a lot. Your marketing ideas are also great for other aspects of business I already do. You are a beacon of knowledge. Keep up the good work! Your a most impressive lady. Your background is fantastic. I hope I can be half as good. I guess we'll see.

Best regards,

Dawn Lambros

Hi Julie;

Thank you for your book on running a bookkeeping business that I bought months ago.

I now work (as a partner) as a professional bookkeeper through a local bookkeeping firm and am now getting clients left and right. I really appreciate your inputs and helping me leave the warehousing profession permanently. I needed something working behind a desk with more pay and dignity.

Best Regards,
John Kidd (USN / Ret.)

He received it!! It was in his apartment management office. The post office had it for almost a week so they sent it to the apartment management office but he said no notice was left. I am thinking that the wind blew the notice away or something. I am so happy it is hear and they did not send it back to your office. We just love the books thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Tiffany

Dear Ms. Julie,

Thank you for writing such a wonderful book. I am not an accountant and am only "well acquainted" with Quickbooks. I started a small business called On Site Office Services recently and I specialize in helping small businesses with their admin and HR needs. Having worked for many tax seasons in our local HR Block office I know what need is out there and I have decided to fill it. Convincing the owner to let go of funds in this economy is increadibly challenging.

Anyway, thanks for the book. You write like I think and it is refreshing! You too have found your nitch!

Have a great holiday!

Sincerely,

Deby Thompson Fitzpatrick

Julie,

Your Book will change my life! I am so anxious to receive your book! I am a degreed accountant with over 18 years experience in small business and have always wanted to do my own thing. We were just pondering yesterday on how to get started when I came across your book! There are so many work-at-home scams out there; there is just no such thing as a real "get rich quick" program. You provided an awesome intro chapter which gave me enough information to get the ball rolling.

I know I will be successful, just as you are, and am finally looking forward to using my talent and skills to MY advantage!

Respectfully,

Deborah Bessette

Dear Julie:

Thanks very much for the quick response. By the way, your book is very good.

Sincerely,

Mark Powell

Julie,

Great Book. I have noticed that there are courses that you can take to become a Certified Bookkeeper or courses to become a Professional Bookkeeper and each has a certificate. Do you recommend either or these?

Thanks for your help.

Hello my name is Esperanza Villanueva and I just buy your book 'How to Open your Own in Home Bookkeeping services. I want to congratulate you because it offers great advice.

Thank you for your time

Thanks for writing back. It was an unexpected surprise. From reading all the feedback about your book I don't think I'll want to part with it. Apparently it is a great reference book even when finished. And are you ever really finished making money?

Alison Jones

Hi Julie,

I received your book and have to say I love it. It is full of information and very detailed. I have been taking lots of notes and am so excited to get started on my new journey of self-employment. Thanks again for such a valuable tool in writing your book and thank you in advance for any info you can provide me to answer my questions.

With much appreciation,

Thanks,

Jennifer Coleman

I did. Thank you so much for your help. The book is great.

I recently purchased your book " How to open your own In-Home Bookkeeping Service, 2nd edition", and It was exactly the book that I was looking for.

Thanks, Freddy Gonzales

Hi Julie,

I've been reading and re-reading your book. I've gotten my first few clients with barely any effort, just a little word of mouth.

I wanted to ask two questions before I have a problem. It seems to me that most clients will want most of their work done at the middle and end of each month. Is there a way to spread the work out that works for my clients and doesn't swamp me twice a month?

Also, as I'm a one-person business, what can I do to get a vacation, or even sick days, without losing my clients?

Thanks for your help.

Michael Sussman

Thank you so much for your help. Your book is just what I needed to help me get started. If you don’t mind, I might e-mail you again sometime. It feels good knowing I have someone to turn to with questions.

Hello Julie,

Thanks for getting back with me, that says alot to me. Well, I purchased the book you recommended last night and today got started with some things you suggested. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm sure I be purchasing "I have Quickbooks now what" in the near future.

Stephanie Matlock-Grey

Hello,

I just viewed your website for your books and what I've read so far has me hooked because it is so easy to read. I was wondering which one of your books should I begin with and does being certified make a real difference?(at least until I start generating some money) Thank you.

Regards,

Stephanie Matlock-Grey

Thank you Julie!!! I received it and am printing it now. I am so excited to read it.

Sara

Thanks Julie! By the way, Roger is still accepting your discount coupon

. I think I have researched all I can and plan to enroll in the Universal course.

You've been wonderful in helping me decide and all of your advice and input.

Thanks again,

Lorie

Hi Julie:

I just finished reading your book and found it very helpful in so many ways.

I plan on enrolling in self-study courses, and I was wondering if you had an opinion on which one is best.

I've been considering the courses at AIPB or at Universal Accounting. Universal is quite a bit more expensive then AIPB, but if it's the better education source, then I would be willing to pay it. If not, I don't want to spend the extra money.

Thank you for any advice.

Lorie

Hello,

I just viewed your website for your books and what I've read so far has me hooked because it is so easy to read. I have 11 years of accounting experience, laid off in December after 5 years with the company and looking to start my own bookkeeping business. I was wondering which one of your books should I begin with and does being certified make a real difference? (at least until I start generating some money) Thank you.

Hi Julie:

I really like your name :-)!!

Thank you so much for your honesty, I really appreciate it. Your suggestion is great.

My goal is to open my own bookkeeping business out of my home. I am medically retired from my job as a Correctional Officer. Due to the type of injuries I have, the convenience of working when I want will work best for me. However, I really don't know where to start, thus being the reason I am purchasing your books. I read your entire web site and found your books to be a breath of fresh air. You are just stating the facts in layman's terms and not trying to sound all scientific to the point you don't get much out of your books. I commend you for that.

Thank you

Julie Brady

Hi Julie!

My name is Kristina, I have an MBA in finance and have worked in real estate as an assistant controller. Now I plan to open my own bookkeeping business and your book is a Godsend! I have an 11 month old son and plan to stay home, and with his grandparents' help, I can do the home business thing. I'm thrilled and I wanted to say "right-on sister!" for writing such a helpful book. It is full of absolute pearls of wisdom for someone like me.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Kristina

Hi Julie

I just have to say, "Wow" you got a great business and professional attitude for a long time I didn't see, specially online that everyone try to sale something to you! But You take time from your busy schedule and try to clear things for me before even I had ordered your books.

Thanks so much and have nice day.

Sincerely,

Larry

Dear Julie,

Hi, my name is Melissa and I recently purchased your books, "How to Open Your Own In-Home Bookkeeping Service" and "I Have QuickBooks, Now What?". Thank you very much for writing these books and making them available for those of us that are taking the plunge into a home based bookkeeping service. I have recently decided to open my own service and your books have been most helpful. In fact, I'm rereading the first book mentioned to reabsorb what I read the first time!

Hello,

I recently purchased How to open your own In-Home Bookkeeping Service (e-book) and I ordered quickbooks now what? I am interested in buying the bugeting book and I was wondering if quickbooks now what has the same info in it.

Love both books and I'm recommending it to my co-workers who are Accountants (bookkeepers) for the fed. gov. and are looking for a way out.

Harriet

I am enjoying your How to Open your Own In-Home Bookkeeping Service book. It seems so easy to start up my own company. The book is very clear and easy to follow.

Thanks for your responses.

Jackie

Julie,

I sure have received it, and my first perusal has lived up to my expectations.

I will be reading it in detail over the next few days, and plan to start getting my business off the ground in July.

Thanks for taking the time to share your hard earned wisdom with us.

Hi Julie,

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your book on opening your own bookkeeping sevice. It was incredibly interesting and informative.

Thanks so much!

Don

Oh, I failed to mention that I've already read through the book twice. It is a wealth of information and just what I was looking for to get started. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!

Shawnette

This worked fine! As did the spreadsheets. Thank you! I have your "Starting a Bookkeeping Business" book also. It's the the best book I've found on the subject. Comprehensive but understandable.

I'm ready to take the plunge and get my own business up and running. Thanks for you help,

Rose

Mission accomplished - I have the file. Thank you for your responsiveness and willingness to have others succeed by way of your book. I look forward to reading what you have to share.

Donovan

Hi Julie. I want to thank you for your wonderful book on how to start a free-lance bookkeeping business! I am completely new to this business. I have no training in bookkeeping. Ideally I would like to learn as quickly and cheaply as possible while keeping my "day job". I have found on-line courses that range from $800.00 to $1400.00. This seems a little steep. Can you advise me on where to go for training? What do I need to learn before I can start putting your advice to work? Thank you for your advice and time.

Sincerely,

Gretchen

Hi Julie,

My name is Jason , I recently received your book on how to start your own bookkeeping service and I'm loving it so far.

Thank You!!!! Jason

Julie,

Thanks so much for your advice, I'll definitely heed it.

All the best....Mark

Good morning Julie,

I have been enjoying reading your books

Thanks so much Julie...this is great information.

Wish me luck...Sharon

Sharon

Julie,

Believe it or not I stayed up almost all night reading your book. It was exactly what I have been searching for. I have a B.S. degree in accounting and recently retired from the military and am considering opening a bookkeeping business. Your book has answered a lot of the questions I had, I am sure I will have more questions but I have found your book to be very helpful.

Thanks

Eric

Your book and examples are wonderful, definitely worth the price and more!! It's funny because I bought another ebook and you could tell he was never a bookkeeper or accountant, I think he just filled in the blanks and that book was common sense, really had nothing to do with how to get yourself going.

Thank you

Jonnelle

Thanks Julie,

Looks to be good stuff.

Hi Julie:

I have almost finished reading your book (in-home

bookkeeping) and have found it very helpful.

Margaret

Hi Mrs. Mucha-Aydlott:

I just purchased your "Computerized Bookkeeping In Layman's Terms". It appears to be exactly what I need. I have QB2004 and have run some "dummy" companies.

Your book is great, it is really helpful. I am a Californian( can't afford to retire in Calif.) and get a kick out of your little "asides" about Gray and Arnie.

Keep up the good work.

Duane

Julie, I have been busy reading your book. It has been a great inspiration to me. I appreciate all the help and support thank you so much for the book.

Jake

I just wanted to say that I have looked at other opportunities and information and I keep coming back to your manual since it is so simple to follow. Thanks for being down to earth and willing to respond. so many times, people set up "manuals" and such and become to big for themselves and no longer want to "mentor."

thanks.

Natalie

Dear Mrs. Aydlott:

First of all, thank you for your fast response. Also, I like to let you know that I received your books today.

What prompted me to buy your books is the manner in which you write. When I downloaded the free chapter to read your introduction captured my attention, and gave some motivation. I do have my own tax preparation business, along with a regular job, and this year I had been tired.

After reading your introduction it gave me the motivation and energy to keep going.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Fernando Chavez

I really am enjoying your book. I'm working for an "accountant" right now, and seeing alot about how NOT to do things. You have a lot of really great suggestions. Thanks for taking the time to write it!

Roxanne

Julie, I just finished reading your book and it was great! I have completed some of the marketing ideas you suggested and I have received some feedback.

Scott

Hi Mrs. Mucha-Aydlott:

I just purchased your "Computerized Bookkeeping In Layman's Terms". It appears to be exactly what I need. I have QB2004 and have run some "dummy" companies.

I really wasn't as knowledgeable as I should have been to adequately fill the position. Your book will certainly help me fill in the gaps. Your book is great, it is really helpful. I am a Californian( can't afford to retire in Calif.) and get a kick out of your little "asides" about Gray and Arnie.

Keep up the good work.

Duane

I have read through your book twice already. I can't believe how relevant and complete the information is. This is exactly the book I needed.

Jarad

Re: What a really great book! Thank you!

Julie: I started to read your book and I found that I could not put it down. When I told myself that I felt like a nerd. What kind of person gets their kicks out of reading tax and bookkeeping stuff.

Well I guess I do!

This is just the thing to let me have the confidence to face that bad bookkeeping world out there. I knew 95% of everything that I was reading but I read all of it anyway and you had things in there that I was completely unaware of. When I read these I just sat in awe of what I had just learned.

I cannot thank you enough for writing this.

Frank

Hello Julie,

Here is a copy of my resume and the flyer I have made to take with me when I see the accountant Tuesday. Thank you for your encouraging words. The Paychex guy just seemed so uninterested. I am better though. I called some businesses I mailed information to today and got one positive response out of 5, so that was good. She said they have an accountant 30 miles from them & that I was closer to them. I told her I could work with their current accountant. I will be mailing out more letters Friday. I think of you as a mentor, I hope you don't mind.

Michelle

Hi Julie,

Thank you for the e-mail. I have just opened up my own CPA firm an plan on using the book as an instructional aid for my staff. I appreciate your concern and I'm sure my staff will find your book very helpful. Thanks again

Re: Computerized Bookkeeping in Laymen's Terms

Dear Julie,

I just ordered your book and I'm so looking forward to your guidance - it is precisely what I was looking for.

Looking forward to your advice and to your book. Here is to your success in 2004!

Wanda

Re: How to Open your own In-Home Bookkeeping Service

Julie,

Thanks for the warning about the virus. Luckily, my anti-virus software removed the offending attachment before I could open it. I just received your book today...it is excellent!! It has invaluable advice and is really the only book out there about starting a home-based bookkeeping business.

I have recommended your book to my girlfriend. She is currently an accounts payable clerk and is very interested in becoming a certified bookkeeper and starting her own business, too.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Brad

Re: How to Open your own In-Home Bookkeeping Service

Hello Ms. Mucha-Aydlott,

I recently purchased your e-book on how to open your own Bookkeeping Service. I found it to be a very useful, hands on type of manual - the type I have been looking for a long time.

I am planning on opening my own home based Accounting/Bookkeeping business in 2004. My background is that I am an inactive CPA in the state of Washington, plus I am also a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor. I also have worked with Microsoft Access for the last 10 years.

again, I really enjoyed your e-book and found it to be very helpful.

Regards,

Dennis

I was looking for someone to tell me how it really is to start my own bookkeeping business, and I think I may have found it in your information. I look forward to receiving it and hope it's helpful.

Thank you,
Karen

Julie - I have really enjoyed reading your book. I have always worked for someone else so when I decided to go into my own business I was a bit scared. You have answered all those "little" questions that I wasn't sure about. Thanks again and keep up the good work!!

Jan

I've been meaning to send you a message to say thank
you very much for the E-book and forms. They are a great help.
