Proven Accounting Training

Simplify Your Numbers, Grow Your Business

Get Your Accounting System Up and Running with the Help of an Expert
Master Your Numbers with Confidence

Running a business is tough enough without the stress of messy books, confusing reports, and dreaded tax-time surprises. That’s why we created Proven Accounting Training—a step-by-step system designed to help online sellers and entrepreneurs finally take control of their finances. Whether you want to manage the books yourself or delegate with confidence, this training gives you the knowledge and tools you need to understand, track, and use your numbers to make smarter business decisions.

Inside, you’ll start with the fundamentals—what bookkeeping really means, the difference between cash and accrual, and which records you should never toss. From there, you’ll learn the exact process for recording transactions, reconciling accounts, handling inventory and payroll, and choosing the right accounting software. Then we’ll roll up our sleeves together inside QuickBooks Online, where you’ll learn how to set up, record, reconcile, and run the reports that matter most. Finally, we’ll show you how to use your numbers to actually grow your business, covering key ratios, common tax questions, and how to catch up when you’ve fallen behind.

With Proven Accounting Training, you won’t just learn bookkeeping—you’ll learn how to turn your financial data into a powerful tool for business growth. Whether you’re a DIY entrepreneur or simply want to understand what your bookkeeper is doing, this course will give you the clarity and confidence you need to move forward with less stress and more control.

CINDY SMITH

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

My name is Cindy Smith. After working in public accounting firms for over 25 years and seeing that the hectic pace and the large volume of clients hindered personalized client service, I decided there had to be a better way. Exhausted and overworked public accountants don’t have time or energy to focus as much as they would like to on the needs of their clients. So, in 2019, I decided to focus on e-commerce businesses because I admire the entrepreneurial spirit of Amazon FBA sellers and e-commerce business owners, I love working with people who are blazing their own trails in life, and there seems to be a real need for a CPA that has a passion for, and experience with, e-commerce accounting.

I live just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, have been married to my wonderful husband, Jim, for many years, and have the most amazing son and daughter-in-law, Jimmy and Lauren. I love to travel, go sight-seeing and hiking, and absolutely love spending time with my family.

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and a member of the AICPA, MSCPA, ACFE, and am a founding member and former board member for the Greater St. Louis Area Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. I am also a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor and am Xero Advisor Certified.

Cindy Smith and E-Commerce Accounting are the bomb!!! Before Cindy, I had been three years in the e-commerce business with terrible bookkeeping records and did not know my numbers. Cindy and her team have patiently helped me get my records current, and I have a lot less stress come tax time now. Thank you Cindy!  ~ Kristal V

Cindy and the eCommerce Accounting team have been outstanding to work with. As our business has grown, one of my greatest challenges (and pain points) was trying to stay on top of bookkeeping, taxes, tax laws, etc. Working with Cindy and her team has been one of the best investments I have made in my business. They not only help us keep our numbers in order, but also serve as a trusted advisor for my many questions. I have peace of mind and far less stress each month thanks to eCommerce Accounting! ~  Tim C.
