In this episode of the Whiny Palooza podcast, host Rebecca Greene (licensed clinical social worker, mother of three) interviews Tiffany Higgins, founder of the Stay At Home Bookkeeper Academy and mother of five. Tiffany shares her personal journey from a corporate CPA working 60‑hour weeks to a remote bookkeeping entrepreneur working about 10 hours a week while earning a comparable income. She explains how she identified the market need for bookkeeping services, leveraged networking (both in‑person and virtual) to acquire her first clients, and built a value‑based, fixed‑price model that allows bookkeepers to earn $100+ per hour. The conversation expands to the Academy’s curriculum, which teaches anyone—no accounting degree required—how to run a bookkeeping business, with students worldwide. Tiffany discusses work‑life integration tactics such as separate work and personal phones, designated days off, and mindset shifts (overcoming fear, people‑pleasing, and “fake it till you make it”). She describes scaling her own company to a 26‑person team, hiring a Director of Operations, and the importance of building a supportive community through a Facebook group and live weekly Q&A sessions. Throughout, she offers practical advice for parents seeking financial and time freedom, emphasizing risk‑taking, incremental action, and the transformative impact of financial independence on families.
