When Linda Spinale launched Honeycomb Bookkeeping in 2021, she set out to provide two things: exceptional service to a handful of clients, and a better work-life balance for herself.

What she didn’t anticipate was how quickly her firm would grow. Within just four months, she hired her first employee, and soon, she was leading a fast-growing team. To maintain the high level of service her clients had come to expect, Linda knew she needed systems that could scale with them. That’s when she heard about Keeper.

Implementing Systems for Growth

Initially hesitant about adopting an entirely new platform right before the busy season, Linda was won over by Keeper’s Prepare 1099s Report. She found that it eliminated a notoriously painful part of the bookkeeping workflow by automatically excluding credit card spend from 1099 payments. But what started as a solution for 1099 season quickly evolved into a complete practice management overhaul.
With Keeper, the Honeycomb Bookkeeping team could now:

  • Track team progress in real-time, ensuring tasks were completed consistently without micromanagement.
  • Automate reporting and analytics, providing clients with tailored insights beyond standard financial statements.
  • Standardize onboarding, allowing for immediate client integration that makes way for efficient scaling.

A 30% Time Savings Per Client

With Keeper in place, Linda’s team saved approximately 30% of their time per client. This efficiency gain translated into significant firm-wide growth—Honeycomb Bookkeeping added three new bookkeepers and over 50 clients in just 18 months.

[Keeper] has transformed our firm into what I feel is a truly legitimate business... My bookkeepers can handle more, and I feel very strongly that Keeper has allowed us to become the firm that we are.
