So go ahead.

Do what you love and leave the rest to us.

What you can expect

A Safe Space

This is a judgement-free, safe space to share your challenges, hopes and dreams for your business.

Goal-Oriented Solutions

I will listen to your pain points and only recommend solutions that will move you toward your goal. If I'm not the right person for the job, I'll be the first to tell you and do my best to recommend someone who may be a better fit.

Transparency

I will always outline expectations up front so you know what will be done, when and how much it'll cost.

Hi! I'm Julie

As a serial entrepreneur, I know that running a business is not for the faint of heart. Most business owners I know are so busy working in their business, they are too busy to work on their business. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to spend your time focusing on the things you love? The reason you got into business to begin with? That’s what we do. We make the back-office noise go away, leaving you to do the parts you love, that only you can do.

My name is Julie Goodall and I understand entrepreneurship. My superpowers include not only an intimate knowledge of bookkeeping and back office systems but enough empathy to make even the most burnt out entrepreneur feel at ease. If you want to work with someone who genuinely understands your feelings of overwhelm and doesn’t judge you for it, you’ve come to the right place.

It is not only my pleasure, but my privilege to help business owners take their time back, while simultaneously taking their business to the next level.

I LOVE what I do, and I’m confident you will too.

People often ask me how it all got started.

It looked a little something like this....

2010

2011

I decide I want to start my own business. I reach out to bankers, mentors and other business owners who all tell me I can’t or shouldn’t. They tell me I’m too young and I don’t have the right level of education.

I open my very first business. It turns out, it can be done. It's here that I develop a wholehearted appreciation for what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. I work all the time. I do all the things. I burn out. I swear I’ll never be a business owner again.

2014

I start my second business, this time with a partner. Surely it’s better if you share the load. I learn valuable things about growing a team and that you can’t make a living by giving away free advice. I swear I’ll never be a business owner again.

2015

Genesis Consulting is born. Kind of by accident and mostly as a side hustle, but it’s born just the same. It turns out, I love the energy of entrepreneurship but I can get that by helping others grow theirs instead of starting over a bunch of times.

Today

There are a LOT of business owners who don’t want to do all the things. They need help. I love helping. But there’s only so much 1 person can do so the Genesis team continues to grow so we can serve more people. We love what we do and we all live happily ever after.

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
