Episode Summary:

In this episode of Next Cell Over, host Jenna Moser sits down with Amanda Metzger, founder of Bookkeeper 365, to unpack what it really means to serve small businesses with heart, strategy, and integrity. From her roots working with her husband’s construction business to now helping business owners across industries with CFO insights, health insurance navigation, and hands-on financial clarity—Amanda is the rare kind of bookkeeper who goes way beyond the books.

We talk about building profitable businesses from the ground up, pricing mistakes that cost you more than money, and how she's using value-led conversations to grow a lean, purpose-driven firm.

In This Episode:

✅Why most small businesses are “owned” by the business—not the other way around

✅Amanda’s unconventional (but brilliant) strategy to attract high-value clients

✅The hidden health insurance gap no one's talking about—and how Amanda helps solve it

✅The very real cost of undervaluing your services (especially as a woman in finance)

✅QuickBooks vs. Xero: the real deal from someone who worked inside Intuit

Golden Nugget:

"The clients who pay you the least are usually the most demanding. Value yourself first—or you’ll build a business that breaks you.”

Episode Summary:

In this episode, host Jenna Moser sits down with Corry Jankowski, founder of Digitsquid, to talk about how she’s helping CEOs shift from reactionary to intentional decision-making. With decades of experience and a no-fluff approach to advisory services, Corry helps business owners turn chaos into clarity—starting with their numbers.

From rescuing broken books to reframing what it really means to "scale," Corry shares why she believes bookkeeping is just the beginning—and how real growth happens when entrepreneurs start listening to what their data is trying to say.

In This Episode:

✅ Why most business owners confuse advisory services with traditional bookkeeping

✅ How she uses a “stoplight system” to help clients prioritize and simplify

✅ The shift from cleaning up books to coaching for real growth

✅ Her favorite reporting frameworks to track ROI, cash flow, and opportunity

✅ The emotional toll of helping clients who aren’t ready to receive help

✅ What she learned from watching a client 10x their motivation (and soon, their revenue)

✅ Why planning for success—not failure—was her biggest mindset breakthrough

You’ll also hear how Corry brings empathy and realism into every client relationship, helping founders break free from financial fog, set realistic short-term goals, and finally feel in control of their business again.

Golden Nugget:

"Don’t plan for your business to fail. Plan for it to succeed. You have the capacity for amazing, impossible things—so prepare like it’s already happening."

Episode Summary:

In this episode of Next Cell Over, host Jenna Moser speaks with Allie Bice, founder of BookTrue, about the importance of financial literacy for entrepreneurs, the value of referrals in building a client base, and the significance of understanding one's 'why' in business. They discuss the challenges of entrepreneurship, including loneliness and the need for community support, as well as the importance of setting boundaries and learning from mistakes. Allie shares insights on identifying ideal clients, ensuring accurate financial records, and streamlining financial processes to aid business growth.

In This Episode:

✅ Why most entrepreneurs don’t need more data—they need context and coaching

✅ The early mistake that nearly broke her business (and how she fixed it)

✅ How Allie grew to 10 clients in months—without traditional marketing

✅ What makes financial services feel safe, personal, and human-centered

✅ Why she sees bookkeeping as part strategy, part therapy

✅ How her perspective on “ideal client” has shifted—and simplified her offer

You’ll also hear how Allie’s shift from burnout to business owner changed the way she approaches growth, relationships, and boundaries. For founders overwhelmed by financial noise or unsure if their numbers even mean anything—this episode is a must-listen.

Expect a grounded conversation on building trust, owning your expertise early on, and why your books might be trying to tell you something you're not hearing yet.

Golden Nugget:

"Bookkeeping is more than numbers—it’s one of the most honest reflections of how someone runs their business. When you treat it like a conversation, not a checklist, it becomes a strategy tool, not a stressor."
