Why Every Midwife Needs a Professional Bookkeeper

Why every Midwife needs a professional bookkeeper

When you first realized you had a passion for midwifery, the business side of it was probably not the most exciting part of it. Supporting women and their families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is your calling in this work and that is a demanding schedule both physically and emotionally.

The reality of taxes, payroll, and bookkeeping and the business side of being a midwife is important to pay attention to, even though it wasn’t top of mind right away. Do any of these phrases sound familiar?

  • I’m going to be late paying my taxes (and I’m afraid of over paying or underpaying) because my books are a mess

  • My friend/family member/admin help is trying to do my books, but they aren’t trained and I don’t really know if they’re doing it correctly

  • My finances are keeping me up at night

  • I need help with the business side of my business

Mothers would never entrust their care to someone who didn’t have proper training, and midwives should do no less when it comes to their bookkeeping.

We love encouraging and equipping you to have your hands in the monthly data and to know your numbers, so we also created a free monthly training called “Understanding Your Reports”.

Midwives’ bookkeeping needs are different from other industries and we meet those industry-specific needs with budget-friendly options. Put your mind at ease, whether you need a couple of months cleaned-up or a couple of years, we’re here to support you. Let a pro handle the daily grind of all that goes into making sure you have accurate, up-to-date books. No more scrambling at the end of the month, or even worse at year-end and tax time.
