Aileen Martinez runs Rise Up Bookkeeping and teaches experienced bookkeepers how to build a firm, not just do the bookkeeping work.
In posts about the six-week Bookkeeper to Boss program, they describe lessons in pricing, setting client boundaries, building systems, and finding clients, drawing on a firm they say they built over more than five years with a team of seven and over 100 clients served.
For business owners, their advice emphasizes reviewing the books month by month so they can plan before tax season.
Follow them for a practical view of both sides of bookkeeping: keeping a client’s financial records useful and building a sustainable bookkeeping business.
Martinez connects bookkeeping details to the decisions they affect.
In one post, they argue that owners should have ongoing access to their books rather than wait until tax season to understand their numbers (advice on financial visibility).
In another, they recount finding incorrectly categorized transactions in a client’s books and say the errors had cost the client more than $10,000 in taxes (client example).
For bookkeepers, Bookkeeper to Boss turns their firm-building experience into instruction on pricing, contracts, systems, client acquisition, and the QuickBooks Online approach they use (program outline).
The material is aimed at people who already know the work and want to run a business, rather than beginners learning basic bookkeeping.
A separate post points readers to a carousel about the relationship between bookkeeping and CPAs (carousel post).
Aileen Martinez's posts return to the same arguments: bookkeepers need to run their practice as a business rather than stay an employee inside it; undercharging and over-delivering are one habit to fix; owners should see their numbers every month instead of only at tax time; and bookkeeping and accounting are different jobs whose confusion costs money.
Read more
The teaching material focuses on the business layer—pricing, contracts, systems and client acquisition—not accounting fundamentals.
Run the practice as a business, not as another job inside it
The central argument is that bookkeepers are usually trained in the work but not in running a firm, so the gap to close is the business layer: pricing, contract terms, back-end systems and winning clients.
Read more
The course says outright that it is not teaching what a debit and a credit is. Client acquisition is presented in the present tense—how clients were won and how they are still won—treating it as an ongoing, repeatable practice rather than a growth story told after the fact.
The Bookkeeper to Boss announcement lists the six weeks: the "Rise Up Way" in QuickBooks Online, how Aileen Martinez prices to stop over-delivering and under-charging, what goes in the contract and what to say when a client asks for work outside it, the systems running the firm, and how clients were and still are found. The same post describes the practice behind the course — over five years building Rise Up Bookkeeping into a boutique firm with a team of seven and 100+ clients served — and frames the offer with the line "the point of a business is to be the boss of it, not another employee in it."
Undercharging and over-delivering are treated as one habit
Pricing is a named part of the teaching, and the stated goal joins two problems: over-delivering and under-charging.
Read more
The audience is described as people who are good at the work but not paid enough for everything they do, so the fix is framed as changing how the practice operates rather than picking a new rate off a table.
The course outline includes a session described as "How I price so I stop over delivering and under charging," and the companion post describes the bookkeepers in that audience as good at the work, underpaid for what they do and without anyone to fall back on when they hit something new.
Owners should have access to their own books every month, not only at tax time
A recurring client-facing argument is that not being the expert is no reason to be blind to the numbers.
Read more
Books are presented as a forward-planning tool.
The common failure mode is straightforward: everything is handed over, the client is told it is handled, and they do not really know what is happening until tax season—by which point decisions are already too late.
The bookkeeper manages the details and keeps things organized, but the owner should still have month-by-month visibility.
The post says the goal is for owners to plan, adjust and lead with confidence, and that "your books aren't just for the past… they help you move forward." It invites readers to make contact through a bio link.
Bookkeeping and accounting are different jobs, and mixing them up costs money
The argument is that a chaotic tax season usually traces back to books that were not maintained through the year, and that accountants and bookkeepers play different roles.
Read more
When year-round bookkeeping is skipped, small categorization errors compound. One post makes the point through a specific client outcome; another opens by defending the CPA and locates the problem in what happens behind the scenes during the year.
While reviewing a client's books that an accountant had been handling, Aileen Martinez found several transactions categorized incorrectly.
The post says those mistakes cost the client over $10,000 in taxes, money that could have stayed in the business once corrected.
A separate post opens "Your CPA doesn't suck… but something's definitely off" and points to a carousel for the breakdown.
The bookkeepers in the audience want a safety net and their own time
The audience shares an origin: people thrown into financial work that was not the plan or the degree they studied, who discovered they liked it.
Read more
They end up good at the job but underpaid and without anyone to fall back on when they meet something new.
That isolation is the premise for what the teaching offers.
A safety net and their own time are described as more valuable than anything else on offer.
The post opens by saying a safety net and their own time are what the bookkeepers Aileen Martinez talks to actually want, then traces the familiar route into the field before listing the course contents as the answer.
Contract material is taught in two connected parts: what goes in the contract and what to say when a client asks for something outside it.
Read more
The awkward ask is treated as a conversation with prepared language rather than a judgment call made in the moment, pairing the written scope with the words to use when it is tested.
The course outline lists a session on what goes in the contract and what Aileen Martinez says when a client asks for something outside it.
This is the clearest single answer to “what does Aileen Martinez actually teach?”
Read more
A newcomer can see the six-week agenda, the size of the business behind it, and its intended audience in one place.
In the announcement for the first live run of Bookkeeper to Boss, Aileen Martinez lists the six weeks: the "Rise Up Way" in QuickBooks Online, how they price so they stop over-delivering and under-charging, what goes in the contract and what to say when a client asks for work outside it, the systems running the firm on the back end, and how they got clients and still do.
The same post states the scale of the practice — over five years building Rise Up Bookkeeping into a boutique firm with a team of seven and 100+ clients served — and describes the offer as having been taught one-to-one before this group format.
The mechanics are spelled out: six live sessions, Wednesdays 1:00 to 2:30pm ET starting September 16, 60 minutes of teaching plus 30 minutes of live Q&A, three beta seats left, founding members get lifetime access to replays including later cohorts.
The framing line is "the point of a business is to be the boss of it, not another employee in it," and the intended reader is someone who already knows the work, whether for their own clients or at a job.
For brands planning a campaign
A workshop on pricing and client systems can mirror this agenda: pricing, contract scope, back-end systems, and client acquisition are already modules Aileen Martinez teaches, so a brand can use an established curriculum. Pair the live teaching with the Q&A format they already use, and expect an audience of practising bookkeepers rather than beginners learning debits and credits.
A close example of how Aileen Martinez turns a specific client problem into an argument for their service.
Read more
It answers “what kind of outcome do they claim to deliver?” with a number rather than an adjective.
Aileen Martinez describes reviewing a client's books, which an accountant had been handling, and finding several transactions categorized incorrectly.
The post says those errors cost the client over $10,000 in taxes—money that could have stayed in the business.
The argument is about roles: accountants and bookkeepers do different jobs, and errors add up when books are not maintained throughout the year.
The client was then able to keep more of what they earned.
The post ends with an invitation to talk and the #Bookkeeper #Bookkeeping hashtags.
For brands planning a campaign
This is the clearest cost-of-poor-bookkeeping story in these posts and a ready-made value framing for a pricing workshop: the fee is small next to a five-figure tax error. It also shows the commercial instinct the workshop audience is buying: spotting a fixable problem and attaching a dollar figure to it.
This post shows how Aileen Martinez positions a bookkeeping firm: transparency and monthly visibility rather than a year-end surprise.
Read more
It illustrates their client-facing philosophy in practice.
The advice is direct: business owners should always have access to their books.
Aileen Martinez describes a common pattern: everything is handed over, the client is told “we've got it,” and they do not really know what is happening in the business until tax season, when real decisions may already be too late.
Not being the expert does not mean being shut out of the numbers.
Bookkeepers manage the details and keep things organized, but owners should still have month-by-month visibility so they can plan, adjust, and lead with confidence.
The post ends with a link-in-bio invitation and the #Bookkeeper #Bookkeeping hashtags.
For brands planning a campaign
For a client-systems workshop, this is the opening principle: reporting cadence and client access are part of the service design, not an afterthought. It also shows the voice a brand would be buying—plain, direct, and built around a recognisable client complaint.
This post states what bookkeepers say they want before any discussion of pricing or systems.
Read more
A newcomer gets the problem statement that the teaching offer addresses.
Aileen Martinez opens by naming what the bookkeepers they talk to want: a safety net and their own time, which they describe as more valuable than anything.
The post traces the usual route in—being thrown into the financial world, finding it was not the plan or what they studied, then discovering they love it—and the situation they end up in: good at the work, underpaid, and with nobody to fall back on when they hit something new.
Bookkeeper to Boss offers the Rise Up Way, pricing, contract terms, systems, and client acquisition across six live weeks.
The post closes with three seats left, the September 16 start at 1pm ET, and a request to comment BOSS or send a message.
For brands planning a campaign
Use this as a workshop's framing slide: isolation, undercharging, and lack of a fallback come before any pricing tactic. The post also shows the promotional urgency Aileen Martinez uses—seat count, firm start date, and comment-to-receive—which a brand can expect around a paid workshop.
It signals a recurring argument: the problem is the bookkeeping-to-CPA handoff, not the CPA.
Read more
Ask to review the carousel before using its specific points.
The caption says the reader's CPA does not suck, but something is off: tax-season chaos probably stems from what is happening behind the scenes, and the breakdown is in the accompanying carousel.
The carousel images are not included here, so ask to review them before relying on the specific causes and fixes.
The caption establishes the topic—year-round bookkeeping behind a rocky tax season—and includes the hashtags #Bookkeeping #Bookkeeper #CPA.
For brands planning a campaign
The handoff between bookkeeper and CPA is a natural workshop segment: it approaches the same client-systems problem from another angle. Before quoting this piece, a brand should review the carousel itself; the caption alone does not lay out the argument.

Teaches the business side of bookkeeping, not debits and credits
Aileen Martinez runs Bookkeeper to Boss, a six-week live course built on the premise that the point of a business is to be the boss of it rather than another employee.
Read more
Sessions run Wednesdays 1:00-2:30pm ET, with 60 minutes of teaching and 30 minutes of live Q&A each week.
The beta cohort started September 16 with three seats left, and founding members were offered lifetime access to replays.
The syllabus focuses on the business side: the Rise Up Way in QuickBooks Online, pricing, contracts, back-end systems, and client acquisition, plus the templates and SOPs their team works from.
They state plainly that they are not teaching what a debit and a credit is.
Six live weekly sessions with Q&A, taught to a group for the first time after previously teaching the same material one to one with a few bookkeepers.
The September 16 start date, three remaining seats, and founding-member replay offer are time-bound beta details, not standing course facts.
For brands planning a campaign
A sponsor need not make the case for pricing and systems content; Aileen Martinez already teaches that syllabus live. A workshop should add a distinct layer, such as a tool walkthrough, a pricing benchmark, or a fill-in-the-blank template, rather than repeat the five topics the course already covers.
Pricing to stop over-delivering and under-charging
Pricing is a named module and a recurring problem Aileen Martinez describes: bookkeepers who do good work but are not paid enough for everything they do.
Read more
The goal is to stop over-delivering and under-charging, treating them as connected habits rather than a rate-card exercise. The message is that bookkeepers already know how to do the work; they need to fix the business side.
For brands planning a campaign
Pricing is a clear entry point for a workshop aimed at growing bookkeeping practices. A sponsor can focus on the gap between what the work is worth and what gets billed, then add a comparison point, such as rate benchmarks across firm sizes, that the course material does not supply.
Contracts and what to say when a client asks for more
One module covers what goes in a contract and, more specifically, what to say when a client asks for something outside it.
Read more
The material treats the awkward ask as a rehearsed conversation, pairing the written scope with words to use in the moment.
Contract content sits alongside the pricing module, with the firm's own templates and SOPs included as working resources.
For brands planning a campaign
A useful hook for a hands-on segment on scripts and scope language: the value lies in what a bookkeeper says when scope creep appears, not in generic contract advice the audience has already read.
Client acquisition as a current practice, not a growth story
"How I got clients, and how I still do" is listed as course content, presenting client acquisition as an ongoing activity rather than a retrospective on how the firm grew.
Read more
Alongside the pricing and systems modules, it treats getting clients as a repeatable part of running a practice.
For brands planning a campaign
A brand with an acquisition tool or channel can fit alongside this module. Ask how the method holds up at the audience's current client count, not just whether it worked once.
Owners should see their numbers every month, not just at tax time
A recurring argument for business owners: they should always have access to their books.
Read more
Aileen Martinez describes a common pattern: owners hand everything over, are told it is handled, and do not know what is happening in the business until tax season, when it is too late to make decisions.
Not being the expert is no reason to be blind to the numbers; books support forward planning, not just a record of the past.
A second post gives a concrete case: reviewing a client's books handled by an accountant, finding several transactions categorized incorrectly, and identifying more than $10,000 in tax that could have stayed in the business once corrected.
A before-and-after client example makes the visibility argument concrete.
For brands planning a campaign
For a workshop aimed at practice owners, this is the client-facing half of the argument: it explains why owners pay for monthly work instead of year-end cleanup and gives a dollar figure for the cost of waiting.
A post for business owners opens with "Your CPA doesn't suck, but something's definitely off" and traces chaotic tax seasons to books that are not maintained during the year.
Read more
The carousel promises to show what is happening behind the scenes and what needs to change. A related cleanup example makes the same point: accountants and bookkeepers play different roles, and errors compound when year-round bookkeeping is not done.
The caption is available, but the carousel slides carrying the explanation are not. Ask for the slides to check the specific breakdown.
For brands planning a campaign
A sponsor can use this argument to move owners from a tax-season-only relationship to ongoing bookkeeping. In a practice-owner workshop, it works in reverse as positioning language bookkeepers can use with prospects.
The reviewed output consists of short-form LinkedIn text posts written in the second person, with hashtags like #Bookkeeper and #Bookkeeping and a closing call to contact them or follow a bio link.
Read more
Teaching is delivered live in a cohort with Q&A and was previously taught one to one. Promotion uses a comment-keyword mechanic ("Comment BOSS") as well as direct messages; one post sends readers to a carousel rather than making the full argument in the caption.
For brands planning a campaign
A partner activity should be live and conversational rather than a written series. The comment-keyword mechanic is a natural call to action for a session or downloadable template, and gives a measurable way to count hand-raises.
Aileen Martinez’s documented business ties are Rise Up Bookkeeping, the bookkeeping firm they say they built, and Bookkeeper to Boss, the live training program they teach to other bookkeepers.

Their firm’s method runs on QuickBooks Online, but the posts do not state a commercial relationship with Intuit or QuickBooks. The posts contain no sponsorship, affiliate, or paid-partnership disclosures.
Rise Up Bookkeeping
Owned business
Aileen Martinez says they have spent over five years building Rise Up Bookkeeping into a boutique firm with a team of seven and more than 100 clients served.
Read more
The firm reviews and corrects business owners’ books, keeps them organized month to month, and gives owners visibility into their numbers. Posts describe the firm’s internal method as “the Rise Up Way.”
Martinez teaches a six-week live training program for bookkeepers, with six sessions of 60 minutes of teaching plus 30 minutes of Q&A.
Read more
The curriculum covers the firm’s bookkeeping method in QuickBooks Online; how they price to avoid over-delivering and undercharging; what goes in the client contract and how they handle out-of-scope requests; the systems running the firm; and how they get clients. Participants get the templates and SOPs the team uses.

Both use practical questions and checklists to help owners make the selection.
Renée S.'s material centers on how owners should vet a bookkeeper and compare software costs, and offers a Bookkeeper Interview Guide. Aileen Martinez's material focuses on running a bookkeeping firm, including pricing, contracts, systems, and client acquisition, and is promoted through a live course.
Ann Hooper also writes about the difference between bookkeeping and accounting, the role of financial professionals in business growth, and how owners should use their numbers to make decisions.

Kerrie Batchelder stresses weekly bookkeeping and the cost of falling behind; Aileen Martinez focuses on the business systems, pricing, and contract language needed to run a bookkeeping firm.
Aileen Martinez's posts point to bookkeepers who already do the work and want to charge properly for it—the audience a pricing-and-client-systems workshop needs to reach.
Read more
They speak directly to bookkeepers who were pulled into the financial world, are good at the work, feel underpaid for everything they take on, and have nobody to compare notes with.
They also address business owners who want monthly visibility into their books instead of a once-a-year scramble.
Workshop topics—pricing without over-delivering, what goes in the contract, what to say when a client asks for more, back-end systems, and client acquisition—match the ground covered in the posts, rather than targeting an unrelated crowd.
The only stated audience figure is a LinkedIn following of 1,430, observed October 9, 2026.
The five posts carry no engagement totals or measures of geography, age, gender, employer, job title, or seniority.
The content identifies the intended reader, not who actually reads it or their professional makeup.
A following in the low thousands on one platform fits a small practice teaching a niche.
The launch post for Bookkeeper to Boss™ says the first six-week beta had three seats left; that is the creator's own description of a small-group live format, not a measure of audience size.
Before committing, ask for registration and attendance for the most recent Bookkeeper to Boss™ cohort and its replay views; how many attendees ran their own firms versus worked inside someone else's; typical firm size and revenue band; and post analytics for the pricing and systems topics.
If campaign success depends on geography, age, or gender, ask whether an audience survey exists.
For employer, occupation, or seniority, ask for a survey or another documented source.

Aileen Martinez's own LinkedIn post announcing the beta cohort · 2026-09-15
Aileen Martinez's posts describe two commercial offers, both sold directly to clients or students rather than as paid placements: bookkeeping and book clean-up for business owners (including correcting a client's miscategorized transactions and arguing that owners should keep month-by-month visibility into their books), and Bookkeeper to Boss™, a six-week live program teaching bookkeepers to run a firm, covering pricing, contracts, practice systems, and client acquisition.
Read more
For a buyer considering a bookkeeping-firm workshop, Martinez already offers a structured live teaching format with a defined curriculum and live Q&A. Ask about sponsorship terms, availability, and willingness to run the format for a brand.
Good fit: a workshop on pricing and client systems for growing bookkeeping practices, delivered to a boutique bookkeeping firm's own client and prospect list.
Read more
The brief lands on ground Aileen Martinez already teaches and writes about.
Bookkeeper to Boss, their six-week live programme, covers the business layer this brief asks about: how to price without over-delivering and under-charging, what goes in the contract and what to say when a client asks for work outside it, the systems running the firm behind the scenes, and how they got clients and still do.
They say outright that this is not a debits-and-credits course.
The announcement names readers who already know the work — for their own clients or at a job — the group a workshop for growing practices needs to reach.
A second post describes the same audience from another angle: bookkeepers who were pulled into the financial world, turned out to be good at it, are not paid enough for everything they do, and have nobody to compare notes with.
The format is already tested, so a brand is not asking them to invent one: six live weekly sessions, sixty minutes of teaching plus thirty minutes of live Q&A, promoted with a comment-keyword mechanic.
The material was first taught one-to-one to a few bookkeepers before the group run.
Two things to plan around.
First, the course already covers pricing, contracts, systems, and client acquisition, so a workshop that repeats those five modules adds nothing.
The sponsor should contribute a layer the course does not carry — rate ranges by firm size, a tool walkthrough, or a filled-in scope script.
Second, audience measurement is thin.
The only figure in the posts is a LinkedIn following of 1,430 observed 9 October 2026; the posts carry no engagement totals and do not measure firm size, revenue band, geography, or whether readers run their own practices.
For a boutique firm booking a session for a list it already owns, the firm can fill that gap; for a sponsor buying reach, it cannot.
The team of seven and the 100+ clients served are the creator's own descriptions of the practice, not audited figures.
When to choose a specialist
Poor fit: a broad-reach awareness campaign — for example, a payments or payroll platform buying a large webinar or a national teaching slot aimed at finance leaders at scale.
Read more
The posts do not support scale claims.
The one audience number is a LinkedIn following of 1,430 observed 9 October 2026.
The five posts carry no engagement totals, geography, age, job title, seniority, or named employers.
The audience described is owners and staff of small bookkeeping practices, plus the business owners they serve, not finance teams at larger companies.
The format points the same way.
The posts are short-form LinkedIn text posts and a live cohort taught in small groups — three beta seats were left when the first cohort was announced.
No video, podcast, newsletter, or transcript is included.
A brand that needs a broadcast deliverable should ask whether one is available.
The posts show no sponsorship product: no rate card, media kit, sponsorship policy, disclosed brand collaboration, or partnership inquiry route.
The commercial offers that do appear are bookkeeping and clean-up services sold to business owners and a paid course sold to bookkeepers.
A buyer should ask whether sponsorships or partnerships are available and request terms before planning a campaign.
A second poor fit is any brief that needs the method quoted back in detail.
Pricing figures, contract wording, client-acquisition channels, and the year-round bookkeeping argument are named as course topics but not set out in the posts.
The slides behind the "your CPA doesn't suck" post are not included here — only the caption that points to them.
A worked campaign example
Worked example: the boutique firm's workshop.
Brief. A boutique bookkeeping firm wants a session on pricing and client systems for growing bookkeeping practices, with Aileen Martinez bringing a practitioner's curriculum to the firm's own client and prospect list.
Angle: "The work is not the problem."
Open on the situation they describe in their posts: bookkeepers who were thrown into the financial world, found they loved it, got good at it, are not paid enough for everything they do, and have nobody to fall back on when they hit something new.
That framing carries the rest of the session: the technical skill is already in the room; the business layer is what is missing.
Shape, borrowed from how they already teach it.
Use the split from Bookkeeper to Boss: sixty minutes of teaching plus thirty minutes of live Q&A.
Organise four segments in the order of their syllabus: pricing — stop over-delivering and under-charging; the contract, including what to say when a client asks for work outside it; the back-end systems that hold the firm together; and how they still get clients.
The sponsor adds a distinct layer the course does not carry, such as rate ranges across firm sizes, a filled-in scope script template, or a walkthrough of the firm's own monthly reporting pack.
A closing client-side frame comes from the same posts: owners should keep month-by-month visibility into their books rather than discovering what happened at tax time, and the $10,000 miscategorisation example puts a number on the cost of waiting. For practising bookkeepers, that doubles as the pitch they make to their own prospects.
Promotion.
Use the comment-keyword mechanic they already use — the course announcement asks readers to comment "BOSS" for details — with a keyword tied to the downloadable template.
A template download gives the firm a countable hand-raise beyond registration.
What to settle before booking.
Ask for registration and attendance for the most recent cohort and its replay views; how many attendees run their own firm versus work inside someone else's; typical firm size and revenue band; and post analytics on the pricing and systems topics.
Confirm the workshop fee, exclusivity, content-reuse rights, and whether Aileen Martinez offers sponsorships or partnerships; the posts do not provide those terms.
Choose Renée S. when the workshop audience is the firm’s clients and prospects—business owners, not practising bookkeepers.
Read more
Renée’s material guides buyers on hiring and evaluating a bookkeeper, with questions about what a monthly service includes, when the close finishes, which reports arrive, how questions and missing information are handled, how confidential records are protected, how the bookkeeper works with the owner’s CPA, and who performs and reviews the work.
Renée also offers a free interview guide with 18 questions, warning signs, note pages, and a candidate comparison scorecard that could serve as the session’s working handout.
A second post covers accounting-software costs and switching decisions, useful if the workshop will help owners judge whether they are paying for features they use.
That material teaches the buyer’s side, not how to build a practice.
It does not cover pricing a bookkeeping engagement, contract terms, firm systems, or winning clients as a bookkeeper—the topics in the boutique firm’s brief.
Choosing Renée for the same slot means the firm must supply the practitioner-facing content and has less material to draw on for an audience of bookkeepers.
Choose Ann Hooper when the workshop focuses on owners’ financial discipline and vetting, rather than bookkeepers’ pricing and systems.
Read more
Ann’s posts offer a five-point diagnostic for spotting an accountant who is not fueling growth: stuck in the past, doing data entry without insight, communicating in jargon, treating the business generically instead of specializing, and leaving the owner uneasy about the numbers.
Ann names online and e-commerce specialization and takes a skeptical view of quick five-figure-month claims, arguing that steady bookkeeping, reading financials, and acting on them move a business forward.
For a firm whose list is mostly owners who suspect their current financial help is passive, that message and structure could anchor the session.
Ann's content speaks to business owners evaluating or getting more from financial professionals.
The posts contain no teaching on how a bookkeeper should price work, write a contract, or run back-end firm systems.
Choosing Ann for the same decision means the firm builds the pricing and systems segment without posts to draw on, and the session shifts from practice-building to owner education.
Choose Kerrie Batchelder when the firm’s list is mainly small-business owners behind on their books and the workshop aims to convert them into ongoing bookkeeping clients.
Read more
Kerrie’s posts make the owner-facing case: outdated books lead to bad decisions, illustrated by a lawn-and-landscaping owner who had not touched the books since 2023 while fuel costs moved.
The material lays out a catch-up sequence, argues for weekly rather than monthly recording, shows when DIY bookkeeping has been outgrown, and distinguishes the CPA’s tax-filing role from the bookkeeper’s current-numbers role.
A session built on that material would answer the owner’s “why now” question and give the firm a warm list.
The posts target owners, not bookkeepers.
They do not cover pricing a practice, bookkeeping contract terms, or firm systems—the core of a practice-building workshop for practising bookkeepers.
Choosing Kerrie makes the workshop owner education; if practising bookkeepers are in the room, the firm must add the practice-building content.
Five LinkedIn posts by Aileen Martinez are available here: three aimed at business owners about keeping visibility into their books, and two announcing the first live run of the Bookkeeper to Boss course, including its six-week outline, format, and the practice it draws on.
These posts are dated 22 April to 15 September 2026, and LinkedIn showed 1,430 followers on 9 October 2026.
One post is a caption pointing to a slide carousel; the slides are not included here, so the specific points they make are not repeated.
Comparison posts by three other bookkeeping creators — Renée S., Ann Hooper, and Kerrie Batchelder — were published between June 2023 and August 2026.
Pricing figures, contract wording, client-acquisition channels, sponsorship terms, audience demographics, and firm-size or engagement data do not appear in Aileen Martinez's posts here.
