The accounting small business course for busy owners
Small Business Tax Resource Library
A comprehensive library of plain-English videos, PDFs, and templates for small business owners who'd rather understand their numbers than guess at them.
You don't have to dread tax season anymore.
Whatever you've been doing so far hasn't gotten your books organized or saved you money on taxes. It's still a hot mess.
The Small Business Resource Library helps you confidently understand the essentials of your business taxes and give you the bookkeeping plan you need to stay on track – without spending hours Googling or deciphering complicated tax rules.
A lot of CPAs would rather keep you confused. It's good for their hourly invoicing, but it's bullshit, and you deserve better.
You're the one signing the return, so you should actually understand what's on it. This is me handing you the keys.
Does this sound familiar?
You're overworked and fed up with your current tax situation.
You do a ton of work each month on your business, but the financial results aren't matching the effort
*
*
You're so focused on running everything else that accounting gets pushed off until it becomes an emergency. Yikes.
*
You spend hours each week looking up how to record transactions or whether something's actually deductible
*
Every April, your tax return shows up and you have no idea where the numbers came from or why you owe what you owe
*
Maybe you even hired a pro to handle it and figured the support would be there. Turns out, your CPA has 200 other clients and no time to answer your questions throughout the year (unless you want another hourly invoice).
You ended the year more confused than when you started, with a stack of new questions and nowhere to put them.
Imagine being the person that actually gets it.
You sit down to invoice, pay bills, and review your numbers, and it doesn't feel like a chore anymore. You've got the systems and the know-how to handle it like someone who knows what they're doing (because you are).
When you're comfortable talking about your reports, your cash flow, and your profitability, that confidence starts showing up everywhere else in your business.
Better questions, better decisions, fewer head scratching.
What you walk away with:
-
A working understanding of how tax forms actually function, so you can spot mistakes no matter who's preparing your return.
-
Real instructions for reporting income and expenses, so your books get and stay clean.
-
The language of tax and accounting, so you can hold your own in a meeting with a banker, lender, or financial planner without bluffing.

Why I built this
Most accounting pros want to keep you slightly confused so you have to keep paying them to translate. I don't work that way.
I don't think any small business owner should be filing their own return, but you absolutely should understand the numbers on it. Nobody likes paying more tax than they have to.
This library is built around the questions my clients ask me over and over. It's actually useful because it's built for people exactly like you.
Hashtag no gatekeeping.
From someone who’s been there
Hi, I’m Erin Rue
The CPA behind it all
I've been doing this work since 2008, mostly with small business owners across Oregon, Washington, and California.
I built this library because the same questions kept coming up, year after year, and I want to get everyone the answers.
Plus, the more you understand, the better our work together gets (whether or not we ever work together one-on-one).
Is this thing for you?

FAQs

You won't, but if you're really struggling, send me an email and we'll work through it together.
People over profit is a core value of how I run this business. I want both of us happy, and I'll work with you to find something that works. No refunds after purchase, since it's a digital product.

You can, technically. Have fun sorting through thousands of websites trying to figure out which advice is legit and which is bullshit.
When you're done burning hours and still feel stuck, I'll be here.
The content here is the result of years of real questions from real small business owners. I've seen a lot of great accounting and some really sketchy stuff. You get to learn from all of it!

There's no behind. It's structured for you to work through at your own pace. Take what you need, leave the rest.
And lifetime access means you can come back to anything, anytime you need it.
I genuinely love this stuff – accounting and tax rules light me up.
My hope is that some of that enthusiasm rubs off on you. Or at least that the next time you sit down to look at your books, you don't feel that little pit in your stomach.
Whether you're here because:
You feel stuck in an endless cycle of accounting tasks and want it to be easier
You're tired of wondering if you're "doing it right" (entering transactions, documenting deductions, handing off the right forms to your accountant)
You want to pay less tax by actually understanding the process
I've got you. Use what you need from the library, regardless of what brought you here.
