Days a week, workingBecause she loves what she does
§ A note from the founder

I worked most of my life in accounting.
Then I built something else.

I worked most of my life in the accounting sector, and at the same time, I wanted to do business on a part-time basis. Eventually I became an affiliate marketer and started my own accounting company. After so long looking at figures, I wanted to change my career.

So I set up two websites — one for affiliate products from Amazon, and one for accounting. People say to focus on one project until you succeed, but I couldn't help myself. I started writing eBooks and books, and that ended up creating online courses.

Today I've created 155 eBooks and more than 32 online courses. I also run a parenting advice forum where parents share knowledge with each other. I'm pleased to say I love what I do — I work almost seven days a week, long hours, trying to achieve what I love. Writing helps me share my knowledge with others.

How to control lifestyle inflation

Earnings go up, savings stay flat — sound familiar? Three quiet habits that hold the line without making life feel small.

Vathani's Tip "Wait 30 days before any non-essential purchase over $100. Most of the urge dissolves on its own."
Side Hustles 15 Apr · 5 min

Starting a business with no money

The cost-free start-up isn't a myth — but it does require trading something other than cash. Here's the honest exchange rate.

§ 04 — From the students

Quiet wins, in their own words.

Over 1,800 reviews across the catalogue. A small selection — chosen because they said something true.

Vathani has the rare ability to make a balance sheet feel like a conversation, not a confrontation. Two evenings with the bookkeeping course saved my agency from a tax mess I'd avoided for three years.

I've taken accounting modules at two universities. Vathani's 4-hour course taught me more than either of them. The workbook alone is worth the price.

Every founder I mentor now gets a copy of Bookkeeping Essentials. It's the most generous, most readable accounting book I've ever bought — and I've bought a lot of them.
