Episode Details

Joining Dr. Sabrina today is Ean Price Murphy, the newest business owner being featured in our Great Place to Work Spotlight. Ean is the founder of Moxie Bookkeeping, where they teach successful entrepreneurs a dead simple cash management system that works with their natural habits so they don’t have to learn accounting to become permanently profitable. They allow business owners to focus on impact rather than spreadsheets. Ean is a fellow certified Profit First Professional–Mastery Level, Xero Platinum Partner, Quickbooks Pro Advisor, and Certified Business Coach. 

Living on the cutting edge, Ean is not your typical bookkeeper. She relishes what makes her and Moxie Bookkeeping unique, and she knows what makes Moxie a great place in attracting A-players and retaining her great team. Ean shares with openness and honesty the hard lessons she has learned, along with the best practices that are bringing success. Join us to learn more from Ean!
