How QuickBooks and AutoEntry Save Coaches Time and Money

If you’re a coach or consultant in Ireland, here’s why it’s time to stop DIY bookkeeping.

As a coach or consultant, your time is your most valuable asset. Every hour you spend chasing receipts, manually entering data, or stressing about your taxes is an hour you’re not spending with clients—or growing your business.

The good news? Bookkeeping doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive.

Two simple tools—QuickBooks and AutoEntry—can transform the way you handle your finances. Here’s how.

1. Automate the boring stuff

QuickBooks is accounting software designed for small businesses. It connects directly to your bank accounts, tracks your income and expenses, and gives you real-time visibility over your financial health.

Pair it with AutoEntry, and you’ll never have to manually input a receipt again. Just snap a photo or forward an email, and AutoEntry pulls the data straight into QuickBooks—categorized and ready to go.

2. Save hours each month

Let’s say you spend 3–4 hours every month trying to manage your bookkeeping. That’s time you could spend:

• Coaching more clients

• Working on your offers

• Or just taking a proper break

With automation in place, those hours come back to you—without sacrificing accuracy.

3. Avoid missed tax deductions

Many self-employed coaches leave money on the table simply because they forget to log a business expense or lose a receipt. With AutoEntry and QuickBooks working together, every transaction is captured and categorized. That means:

• Less stress at tax time

• Fewer missed deductions

• More money in your pocket

4. Make better decisions, faster

QuickBooks gives you clear reports on how your business is doing—profit, cash flow, outstanding invoices—all in one place. Instead of waiting until the end of the year, you can make smarter decisions all year round.

5. Get support from someone who gets your business

Bookkeeping is not just about data—it’s about understanding your business.
