Hi, I’m Trudi
-
I don’t teach bookkeeping.
I help bookkeepers build businesses. -
After more than 40 year-end cycles across nearly every industry you can think of, I’ve learned this:
-
Most bookkeepers don’t have a skill problem.
They have a systems problem. -
I’ve helped dozens of bookkeepers move from doing the work to running a business using systems that actually hold up under pressure.
-
That’s what Maven is built on.
Start. Scale. Sustain.
Start.Scale.Sustain.
With systems that actually work.
Why Maven Exists
-
Maven Systems was built to solve the problem most bookkeepers don’t realize they have until it’s too late.
-
Not more work. Not more clients.
Better systems. -
Because building a successful bookkeeping business requires more than knowing how to do the work. It requires structure, consistency, and processes that hold up as you grow.
-
Maven brings that structure together through training, systems, and tools designed to help you move from technician to business owner to operator.
-
Whether you are just getting started, actively scaling, or looking to gain control of an established practice, Maven is built to support that progression.
Who This Is For
Maven is for bookkeepers who are ready to move beyond doing the work and start running a business.
​
If you want clarity, structure, and systems that actually support growth, you’re in the right place.
​
I’ve completed over 40 year-end cycles. I know what it takes to get a set of books across the finish line, and what it takes to build a business that can do it again and again.
Build Your Bookkeeping Business
Step 1:
START – Get Compliant. Get Ready.
Step 2:
SCALE – Build Credibility. Attract Ideal Clients.
Step 2 is all about visibility and growth. Shift from setup to standout — build your brand, attract ideal clients, and step fully into your role as a business owner. With Maven, you’ll move from chasing clients to being the expert they seek.
Start your bookkeeping practice with confidence — and with Maven, it’s simple. From business setup to workflow SOPs, you’ll move from concept to compliance in hours and from chaos to clarity in days — all with step-by-step, Maven-approved guidance.
Step 3:
SUSTAIN – Systematize. Stabilize. Lead with Clarity.
Step 4:
At this stage in your business, it’s all about scaling smart — building structure and systems that keep you in control. That’s exactly where the Maven app (coming soon!) will help. It’s designed to help you manage clients, tasks, and data effortlessly, so you can stay organized, protect your time, and lead your firm with confidence — turning chaos into calm and busy into brilliantly in control.
SURGE – Unlock Unlimited Capacity
When you reach this stage of your business, it’s all about scaling with control — learning how to grow while staying clear and calm. That’s where the Maven app comes in (coming soon!). Maven will help you manage unlimited clients, streamline communication, and expand your capacity — all while keeping your operations organized and chaos-free.

"When Trudi forwards her year end packets, I can jump directly into the tax return with very little research and virtually no loose ends.
Tax returns without supporting documents that tie out should never be filed. I get the complete information from Trudi consistently and that allows me to maneuver the tax returns faster with significantly less legwork at my end.
Compiling documents for year end is something I honestly wish every bookkeeper would take the time to do."

"When Trudi gives me year end packages for tax prepping her clients, I never have to ask for anything additional.
It's always right there, the first time, in the right order. All I have to do is the tax return and then give her my closing entries.
I was very excited to hear that she had developed a program to teach this approach to other bookkeepers.
This right here is what tax preparers need! A complete package!"

"Trudi and I have been referral partners for a number of years and we've referred a good deal of businesses to each other over the years.
I can say this with absolute certainty: Trudi's clients are very well served. Which is why I continue referring our clients her way despite her moving her business to another state.
She definitely delivers and our clients at Rockland love her for it!"
