Calm Books: Monthly Bookkeeping That Lets You Breathe Again
For freelancers and solo service providers earning under $100K who want their books handled—without the meetings, mentoring, or mental load.
You don't need another system to learn. You need someone to just... do it.
If you're a freelancer or solo service provider, you already know: bookkeeping matters. You know you should stay on top of it. You know it would help come tax time.
But between client work, admin, and actually running your business? It falls to the bottom of the list. Again.
Calm Books takes it off your plate entirely.
No meetings to schedule. No calls to prep for. No explaining your business over and over.
Just clean, consistent books—handled for you, every month.
What you get with Calm Books
Monthly bookkeeping using the Kick platform
Your transactions categorized, your accounts reconciled, your records ready when you need them.
A simple monthly financial summary
So you can see where you stand without digging through spreadsheets or logging into multiple accounts.
Clean books you can trust
Whether you're filing taxes, applying for a loan, or just want to know your numbers are right—they will be.
No Kick subscription fees
We cover the platform cost as part of your service. One less thing to manage.
This is bookkeeping for businesses that are still simple
Calm Books is the right fit if:
- You're a freelancer or solo service provider
- Your annual business income is under $100,000
- You have one primary business with straightforward finances
- You want your bookkeeping handled consistently—without meetings or mentoring
If that sounds like you, this is exactly the level of support you need.
What Calm Books doesn't include (and why that matters)
To keep this service calm, clear, and sustainable, we don't include:
- Financial coaching or mentoring
- Strategy or planning sessions
- Tax filing or tax advice
- Forecasting or projections
- Multi-entity or complex business structures
This isn't about hand-holding. It's about getting your books done reliably, so you can focus on your work.
If you want help using your numbers to make better decisions, our Momentum services are designed for that. But if you just want your bookkeeping handled? Calm Books is exactly what you need.
