Sara Kucharski, owner of True North Bookkeeping, is thrilled to be speaking to us and answering all of our questions about small business bookkeeping!

After studying Financial Planning at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario, Canada, Sara started her career as a Financial Advisor at TD Canada Trust and held a variety of leadership positions in the distribution sector before moving to Denver, Colorado in 2015 with her husband, Patrick.

Sara, while working as an Office Manager in Colorado, saw a great opportunity to take her Financial Planning skillset and start freelancing on the side as a bookkeeper. ”I always wanted to work for myself and utilize my skills in providing businesses with processes that will set them up for success,” she explains.

During COVID lockdown, and with the potential of an upcoming relocation to another state, Sara saw another opportunity to assist others in keeping their books and business on track and decided to take the leap to turn her freelance bookkeeping into a full-time career. True North Bookkeeping now serves businesses locally and across North America with monthly bookkeeping, payroll, training and more.

While she is very busy with True North Bookkeeping, she has also been concentrating on continuing to grow and develop her real estate photo editing business, Real Estate Photo Fix.  These convenient services offered to real estate photographers and professionals provide remarkable image edits that will help sell properties and/or provide images of what a property could look like inside and out. She offers Image Enhancements, Virtual Staging, Virtual Twilights and more.

Sara, her husband Patrick, and their 3 big dogs have made Milford their home since 2020.  Sara enjoys the Milford community and the support she has received while living here.  She continues to support local and has enjoyed participating in groups such as the Huron Valley Chamber of Commerce and Women In Milford.

Women In Milford

Women In Milford at River’s Edge Brewing Co.

River’s Edge Brewery was hopping on Wednesday night as Women In Milford gathered for our August Meetup: Brewery Beers & Bookkeeping!  Huge thank you to Sara Kucharski, owner of True North Bookkeeping, for educating everyone on the importance of bookkeeping for your business!

Dayna Smedley, Real Estate Agent (Deals with Dayna)

Some big takeaways from our meeting:

- #1 Rule: Keep business and personal separate when it comes to keeping your books!

- Software recommendation for bookkeeping: Wave; a lot like quickbooks; not as robust, but it gets the job done, it has an accountant login option, and most importantly, it’s free.

- You should be reconciling your bank account at the end of each month, at the very least.  Don’t wait until the end of the year.

- When it comes to financials, you can never overdo it.  Triple-checking is better than double-checking!

Olivia Stellman, Community Choice Credit Union & Amanda Holdsworth, Holdsworth Communications

We had some other women in the financial business there, too, to help answer questions and share some financial insight.  Thanks to Anne Beck, CFP, and Jill Shelby, CPA, for sharing your knowledge with everyone!  Jill enthusiastically pointed out that “Tax people love bookkeepers!”

Special thanks to River’s Edge Brewery, Renee Craig, and Anna Swanson, for letting us host the meetup at the brewery and taking care of us throughout the night.  We love River’s Edge!

Hope everyone has a fantastic Milford Memories weekend!
