Lourene Bouffard, the founder of Every Penny Bookkeeping & Business Services, is a passionate entrepreneur on a mission to empower business owners with financial clarity and confidence. With decades of experience, Bouffard offers a unique blend of expertise beyond traditional bookkeeping.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve found that bookkeeping is the starting point, but we do much more than bookkeeping. When you delve into the numbers, you gain a deeper understanding of the business,\u201d Bouffard explained.<\/p>\n

Bouffard\u2019s journey began with a desire to become a CPA. However, after witnessing the struggles of small business owners firsthand, she made a bold decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter about 20 years or so working in different industries and having various roles in management, payroll, and business advising, I decided that I wanted to go off on my own and do more for businesses that are struggling.\u201d<\/p>\n

She realized many businesses lacked the foundational knowledge and systems to achieve financial stability and growth. Seeing this frustration fueled her desire to help bridge this gap and allow business owners to take control of their finances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many people who have great business ideas, but they are not sure how to run a business, don\u2019t know how to watch their finances, don\u2019t know what they\u2019re looking for, don\u2019t have the right processes, or the right people needed for their business to succeed financially,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Every Penny Bookkeeping provides a comprehensive suite of services to meet each client\u2019s needs, including Bookkeeping & Accounting, Business Consulting & Coaching, Financial Analysis & Forecasting, Diagnostic Reviews, Software Training, Payroll Services, and Debt Counseling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\u201cDebt is a big issue for a lot of businesses right now,\u201d she noted. \u201cWe work with clients to help control that debt and get it paid off. We all know that credit scores are important, and it\u2019s even more important for business owners. Your personal score directly affects your business, from insurance, bank loans, and lines of credit, so it\u2019s important to get under control.\u201d<\/p>\n

One service she particularly enjoys offering focuses on business growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a Growth Planning Program, which is a 12-month program that works on all aspects of the business,\u201d she said. \u201cWe work on debt, goals, and resolving specific issues. We discuss dreams, exit plans, leadership, accountability, and developing the required mind sets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bouffard and her team understand that finances can be a source of stress and overwhelming for business owners. She prioritizes building genuine relationships based on trust and open communication, offering judgment-free consultations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This manner of doing business has also brought about working with one particular niche of clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe work well with the neurodivergent population, clients that struggle with focus,\u201d she said. \u201cThey have great ideas but don\u2019t know how to implement them. One client asked me, \u2018How easily are you scared off?\u2019 Not very. We pride ourselves on being patient and keeping them on track.\u2019<\/p>\n

One mistake that Bouffard sees many small businesses make is mixing personal and business accounts – bank accounts, credit cards, insurance policies, etc. \u201cThere\u2019s two sides of you now. You\u2019re a business owner, and you\u2019re an individual. It\u2019s just smart to keep things separate and smart so you can see what\u2019s going on in your business,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Like many businesses, the pandemic is one of the biggest challenges that Bouffard had to face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had built up a great business, and a year later, Covid hit and I lost all of my business. I told my clients they needed to fire me because they couldn\u2019t afford me. They were struggling to make ends meet. So, I trained them in what they needed to keep their business rolling forward. We thought outside of the box to keep them moving. Some of them came back after Covid. Some of them have not, but that\u2019s okay. So I just basically started all over. It shows other business owners that with some hard work and resilience and getting out there, and just keep trying and making those connections and networking and working together, you can make it happen, but you can\u2019t lose sight of your goal,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The ability for businesses to efficiently work remotely and virtually allows Bouffard to work with clients much further than her base in the Saratoga area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got clients all over the place. We have clients in many other states like Alaska, California, Florida, Virginia, Maine, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bouffard advises her clients, \u201cStay focused on your dreams and goals. It might not be something that you can do on your own. We like to partner with our clients, work with them, help them look outside the box, and see what other things they can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
