I didn’t start Antunes Bookkeeping because I thought owning a business would be easy. I started because I knew I was being called to something MORE. 💙
In 2025, the idea of starting my own bookkeeping firm began growing in my heart.
And if I can me completely transparent… I was scared.
I had the experience.
I knew accounting.
I knew how to help businesses understand their numbers.
But knowing how to do the work and having the courage to build your OWN business are two very different things. 😅
There were so many questions.
What if I fail?
What if I can’t find clients?
What if leaving the security of a regular paycheck is a mistake?
What if I’m not ready?
Fear can get LOUD when you’re getting ready to do something you’ve never done before.
But I kept moving.
One client became another.
One opportunity opened the door to another.
One challenge taught me something I needed for the next one.
And slowly, I began to realize something:
God wasn’t asking me to have the entire plan figured out. He was asking me to trust Him with the next step.
Today, when I look at Antunes Bookkeeping, I don’t just see financial reports, reconciliations and QuickBooks.
I see the small business owner who finally understands where their money is going.
I see the restaurant owner working long hours to build something for their family.
I see the contractor who is amazing at their craft but needs someone beside them to make sense of the financial side.
I see entrepreneurs carrying the same fears I once carried.
And that’s why this business means so much to me. ❤️
I don’t just want to do your books.
I want to help you understand them.
I want you to know whether you’re actually profitable.
I want you to make decisions with confidence.
And I want you to have someone in your corner who genuinely cares about what you’re building.
Because behind every set of books is a person.
A dream.
A family.
A story.
And sometimes, a whole lot of faith. 🙏
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3
If you’re building a business right now and fear has been telling you that you’re not ready, here’s your reminder:
You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Take the next step.
I’m so thankful I did.
