Welcome to 5 Minute Bookkeeping!

I’m Veronica Wasek, and I’m so glad you’re here.

My journey into the world of bookkeeping started during a tough time in my life. After losing two jobs to the Great Recession, I found myself with no money and no clients, facing the daunting task of starting my own business. As an introvert, this was incredibly scary for me. But I knew I had to push through my fears and doubts to make it work.

At first, I was just trying to replace my lost income. But as I dove deeper into the world of bookkeeping, I discovered a passion I didn’t know I had. I realized I had the potential to do so much more. I focused on building my confidence and sharpening my skills, eventually becoming a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and later an Advanced Certified ProAdvisor. I learned everything I could about QuickBooks and built my firm around providing expert QuickBooks Online services to clients all over the United States.

As my business grew, I hired an amazing team of employees who share my commitment to providing the highest level of service and quality to our clients. But I didn’t stop there. I wanted to share what I had learned with others, so I started the 5 Minute Bookkeeping blog and YouTube channel. I love creating short, actionable articles and videos to help virtual bookkeepers everywhere.

Later, I created the 5 Minute Bookkeeping Community on Facebook, a safe and positive space where bookkeepers can connect and support each other. And then came 5MB Academy, where I offer online training for virtual bookkeepers, covering everything from workflows and QuickBooks Online cleanup to marketing and more.

Looking back, it’s incredible to see how far I’ve come—from a scared introvert to someone confident, bold, and unstoppable. My passion now is to help others build the bookkeeping business of their dreams, just like I did.

When I’m not working, I enjoy staying active and dabbling in art. My husband, Eric, and I love spending time at our farm, where we find peace and inspiration.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. I’m here to support you every step of the way!
