Congrats on taking the big, scary step to start your own business. It’s exciting and terrifying and awesome, all wrapped up into one. But when you find that thing that you love, that you’re so good at - better than anyone else - you’ve gotta follow your heart, right? And in the beginning, it’s all the feels. You’re out on your own, being your own boss, making your own rules. Your product or service is going to make a splash. You’ll be the talk of the town. You’ve figured out why you’re awesome and how to get to market but then...mentors and other business owners and people who care about you start asking questions like, what type of entity are you? Sole proprietor? LLC? Partnership? Corporation? Do you have insurance? No? They look horrified. Are you saving your receipts? Escrowing money for taxes? What’s an escrow, you ask.
Doing all the things is ok in the beginning, afterall, you’re likely on a budget as you get your footing and find your way in this new world. But even doing all the things doesn’t mean you know
how
to do them all right away.
Help is on the way! I’ve been there, done that. Three times in fact. And let me tell you, it’s scary and exciting EVERY time. And while I highly recommend entrepreneurship and wouldn’t trade it for all the chocolate cake in the world (ok, maybe I’d consider it for ALL the cake).
Having an experienced guide on your entrepreneurship journey can make all the difference. That’s where I come in.
If you’re feeling less than stellar about your financial situation – whether it’s the bank balance or the bookkeeping that stresses you out – we’ve got you.
Money can create feelings of shame, guilt and my least favorite, “should”. We feel like because we’re business owners we “should” understand where our money is going. We “should” understand our financial reports.

Do you spend your days answering emails and scheduling appointments? And your nights worrying you've forgotten tasks? Or maybe you've just reached that level of success in your business that leaves you with a constant feeling of overwhelm.

Our team specializes in helping frazzled solopreneurs create and master their workflows with ease. We can help you find the right tools to help your business stay in motion - even when you're not there. Cut out the repetitive work and get more business with less busywork.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"Julie and Genesis Consulting have been integral to a turnaround in our financial data management. We had no idea how poorly managed things were before Julie took the wheel and righted the ship. She is passionate, responsive, knowledgeable, and driven. She helps us to not just keep our data organized, but also to leverage the information in the data as part of our ongoing business planning efforts. She has become a critical part of our team and we're so very grateful to have her!
~ Brendan Walsh, Quantum Leap Capital
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"Whether it's small technical questions, or big picture strategy, and everything in between, Julie listens and offers practical solutions. Her breadth of knowledge and her genuine caring for her clients are a winning combination! I have used Quickbooks for years, but Julie has vastly improved my ability to make the most of it. She explains things in an easily understandable way so that I can apply the new knowledge."
~ Sarah Thompson, Clean Slate
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"Right from the start, Julie took the time to not only guide me through the complex financial situation I was in, but took the time to get to know more about me as a client and a person. Personable, professional, inquisitive, kind... these are just a few of many words that summarize her skills and personality. After just one meeting, and a handful of e-mails, I went from being dramatically negative in financial standing to having money left over at the end of each month! Anyone who chooses to work with Julie will have nothing short of a great experience. Recommend with high regard!"
~ Justin Wilson
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"I've been working with Julie for three years and she has made running a business so much easier. My business is very small and I don't need much help, but whenever I do, Julie is right there. Having her help with Quickbooks has been a life saver for me. I used to stress about tax prep. No more. Now my small business is manageable."
~ Liza Cowan
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"I have worked with some business coaches and consultants, but none like Julie and her team. She was the first who really listened and asked questions to first understand my goals and then understand my business models. Her approach helped me feel more empowered and knowledgeable about how my business and my books work together. Julie is a breath of fresh air and somehow made diving into the numbers fun and empowering. I highly recommend working with Genesis Consulting to any professional who wants to be heard and helped as they work on their numbers, strategies, and systems."
~ Janina Kotulich, Red Poppy Cakery
