To the ambitious bookkeeper itching to take on new clients, be their own boss, and make fantastic money from the comfort of home…
Build your money-making confidence in the Fast & Easy QBO Gym. The hands-on training academy for bookkeepers who love to learn by doing. Not watching.
So, you’ve got your QBO Accountant account. Maybe you’ve even got your certification.
Now you’re eager to take on clients so you can multiply your income and make bookkeeping your full-time gig.
After that, maybe the plan is to bring on your loved ones so they can get a taste of time freedom too.
There’s just one itsy bitsy problem…
When you sit down to market yourself to clients, your hands go clammy. Your cheeks flush red.
“Do I really know what I’m doing?”
When the self-doubt creeps in, you have two options:
OPTION 1
Do nothing. Keep fumbling. And risk missing out on business-defining opportunities because the thought of messing up someone’s book legitimately terrifies you.
Let your shiny new certification collect virtual dust because you get queasy talking to potential clients.
All while battling the sinking feeling that your bookkeeping business *could* have been something great.
This could have been your ticket to being debt-free or getting a deposit together for a house in your favorite neighborhood.
If only you’d swung while the iron was hot and got the experience you need to get clients to trust you with their books.
OPTION 2
Get on-the-job experience without the nail-biting pressure of managing - and potentially messing up - someone’s books.
How?
It couldn’t be more simple:
Spend just 45 minutes a week (or more if you’re ambitious) working with a life-like virtual business owner and sample company.
All this amounts to an entire year of experience working with a client -- in just 42 real-time hours.
Get walked through how to complete a wide range of tasks, step-by-step. Snatch up time-saving tips to speed up your process. And most importantly… practice what you’ll do for actual clients.
So when clients ask about your experience, you’ll be able to win their trust with “been there, done that” confidence (hellooooo higher rates).
Because you won’t just know what you’re doing. You’ll have done it umpteen times already.
Hundreds of ambitious bookkeepers are kicking imposter syndrome to the curb with Option #2.
It’s costing them LESS than the average gym membership. And they’re using the experience they’ve gained to move up a tax bracket because SO MANY business owners are in desperate need of their skills.
These bookkeepers are raising the standard for what it means to impress the pants off clients and be their own boss.
Better still, all it takes is ONE client on a monthly retainer to 10X the investment you’ll make to get an entire YEAR of the invaluable, hands-on experience we’re offering you today.
Don’t you think it’s time you joined them?

“Being able to work through situations that are “life-like” and get my hands dirty has been such a confidence booster. I feel so much more prepared for that first client call. I’ve even been able to go back on the exercises and read through the scenarios to see if I can remember the steps without looking.”
Kristen
Bookkeeper
“Wow…this is exactly what new bookkeepers need…there is always a pretty significant difference between knowledge you need for an exam and what you need to know to “do the job” and your QBO Gym subscription is fantastic for those practical exercises.
As I have started this journey to become a bookkeeper, I have realized something, and that the only thing scarier than putting in all this effort (and money) and not getting any clients is getting clients. The fear of getting a client and not really knowing how to do the work is terrifying and your QBO Gym with each exercise dispels that fear just a little bit more.”
Shawn
Bookkeeper
“Your hands-on practice gym is the BEST! Nothing beats being able to practice the different steps as you learn how to do them. Just listening alone on how to do something is less effective than actually practicing step by step what you are trying to learn.”

Pssst… have you met Craig?
Craig is the simulated owner of a landscaping business. And guess what? He needs YOU to help him with his books.
Each exercise you’ll complete for Craig mirrors the tasks you’ll do on the job.
This means you’ll have experience with a wide range of bookkeeping skills when you start (or continue) working with real-life clients.
Each “workout” is made up of 4 sets of practice exercises designed to sharpen your skills and get you comfortable working in QBO
You’ll warm up by watching a short animated video outlining the tasks Craig needs help with.
Next, you’ll complete a 3-question quiz to get clarity on what needs to be done.
Finally, you’ll get walked through a series of hands-on exercises so you can practice doing each step along the way.
Now you’ve got the lay of the land, you’ll put into practice all the things Craig has asked you to do.
You might:
- Send invoices or reminders
- Record payments and bank deposits
- Record and pay bills
- Make a loan payment
Think of it as a day in the life of a practicing bookkeeper.
Dig deep into specific QBO features you’ll need to use for Craig.
Sharpen your problem-solving skills by facing real-world challenges.
Example:
Craig has decided to sell products at farmers’ markets. How will you keep track of everything or deal with the fact that some kid stole some keychains?
Get confident handling tricky situations like this one — because you’ll handle them a dozen times over here in the Gym
Finally, it’s the end of the month, so you’ll need to reconcile Craig’s bank accounts — including fixing mistakes and preparing reports.
Never reconciled an account? No problem. You’ll do it for multiple accounts every month in the gym.
Come back to the step-by-step workflows any time you need a refresher. So you can do an amazing job for your future, delighted clients.
INCLUDED WITH *EVERY* WORKOUT:
Turn your skills into clients with proven marketing prompts
Now you’ve got some experience under your belt, it’s time to share it with the world. Use our post-workout marketing prompts to position yourself as a true QBO ProAdvisor so you can attract dream clients on your favorite social media platform.
No more awkward tail-between-your-legs convos with clients when they ask about your experience. You’ll know how to translate your experience inside the Gym into posts that make you irresistible to new clients.

But that’s not all…
Our life-like AI version of Craig won’t share all the information you need this time. So you’ll have to ask him for what you need — just like you would with a real client!
When Sherry talks to Craig, it feels like she is talking to a real client
“I LOVE this feature. I wish all clients responded as fast as Craig does! It’s an awesome addition! I use a MacBook and my iMessages pop up on my screen – it was like I was texting a really client and he was sending what I needed once I got the question right! So cool!”
Sherry
Bookkeeper
Brandy loves that she can go back to previous training if she gets stuck
“I love the way the new workouts are set up! I am easily able to get through the exercises that I already know how to do and I like that there is a link to the previous year exercise with instructions for the things I’m not sure on.”
Brandy
Bookkeeper
Marceline enjoys the more challenging and interactive elements in Year 2
“I loved this! I like that it’s more interactive instead of just passively clicking on stuff because I’m told to. I’d forgotten about the difference between using the Category and Item grids, and the quiz helped me catch that. Overall, this is more challenging. Good job!”

“These exercises clarify what it’s actually like to work as a bookkeeper”

Meet your personal trainer: Margie-Davis Remmers
Hi, I’m Margie. And I’ve helped thousands of people pass their ProAdvisor certification exam and achieve time and money freedom along the way.
I created QBO Gym because it broke my heart to see so many talented bookkeepers miss out on opportunities because they didn’t have experience.
Now, you can get on-the-job experience without getting a job. Which means you can be more impressive to potential clients… and get paid great money to put your number-crunching superpowers to the test. 💪
Did we mention the entire program is gamified?
Stay motivated by collecting points and badges when you complete exercises.
Watch your skills stack up as you become more and more attractive to potential clients.
And don’t forget… some of those clients are actively looking to hire talent like you in the QBO Gym talent database, BooksMatch.
The more points you get, the higher you rank. And the higher you rank, the more clients will want to work
The Gym is RIGHT for you if you…...
- Believe practice makes perfect profit. It’s important to you that you know what you’re doing so clients can trust you with their books
- Can spare just 45 minutes a week to sharpen your skills so you’re equipped to take on - and do a great job for - paying clients
- Enjoy problem-solving. When a challenge pops up, you want to be the person with the answers… not the person running and screaming in the opposite direction
The Gym may NOT be for you if you..
- Are fine guessing your way through your clients’ books. Even if it means getting things wrong and risking an audit
- Have no time to take on paying clients -- and therefore can’t spare 45 minutes to get client-ready in the Gym
- Are looking to do the bare minimum. You don’t mind turning away leads because you don’t have the experience needed to take on those clients (totally valid, BTW!)
