THE STEADY STANDARD Reports by the 15th · No lock-in · No stupid questions
Before the aim, the scatter
Does any of this sound familiar?
Most owners who find Clear Aim start in one of these four places. None of them is a character flaw — they are what books look like before someone takes aim at them.
The books are behind
A few months, or a whole year of “I’ll get to it” — and every month adds another layer to untangle before anyone can tell you where you stand.
The categories can’t be trusted
Transactions miscategorized, some missing entirely. The reports exist, but you would not bet a decision on them — so you don’t decide.
Tax time is a scramble
A shoebox year, handed to your tax pro at the deadline, with questions about your own business that you cannot answer. Every year. The same way.
You’re flying blind
Ask yourself your profit margin, your overhead, how many months of cash runway you have. If the honest answer is a guess, the books aren’t doing their job.
Wherever yours lands, there is a defined next step — and it starts with locating yourself honestly. Take aim ↓
Take Aim — the wayfinder
Three questions. One clear next step.
This is Jyenny’s own diagnostic, built on her target. Answer one question per ring — where your books stand, how you want to work, what you run — and the board resolves to the service that fits. No scores, no verdicts. Just aim.
RING 1 OF 3 — WHERE DO YOUR BOOKS STAND?
Every route starts at the same door.
Answer the three rings and this board names your service. Or browse the routes directly:
Hand it off — and actually get it back, explained.
Three ways to stop carrying the books yourself. Every engagement is customized to your volume and complexity on the Clarity Call; the packages below are the shapes that customization takes.
The Essential Foundation
Monthly bookkeeping, handled end to end: transactions classified, bank accounts reconciled, your books always audit-ready. The calm baseline — nothing piles up, nothing waits for tax season.
Best for: straightforward activity, hands-off owners
The Growth Insight
For growing, layered income: everything in the Foundation, plus the thing most bookkeepers never hand you — a monthly, plain-English visual performance breakdown of your profit margins, operating overhead, and cash runway, explained for your next big business move, with monthly support video calls.
Your month, in plain EnglishSample
Profit marginWhat’s left after the work is done
Operating overheadWhat it costs to keep the doors open
Cash runwayHow far your cash carries you
A sample month, shown as an illustration — yours is built from your real books.
Best for: growing businesses whose income has layers
Catch-Up & Clean-Up Bookkeeping
A one-time reset project: a setup review, miscategorized and missing transactions cleaned up, past months reconciled, and your financials organized ready for tax preparation. Often the necessary first step before monthly service.
Best for: books a season — or a year — behind
Reports by the 15th. Monthly financials, delivered on a date you can plan around.
No lock-in. Cancel your contract at any time. The relationship stays because it works.
QuickBooks Online or Xero. Setup, training, and conversions included in the work.
Tax time, handled calmly. Your reports are packaged for your tax professional — who can ask Jyenny questions directly.
DIY Support & Reviews
Keep your own books — with a professional reading over your shoulder.
Not every owner wants to hand the books off. The reviews ladder gives you expert eyes at the rhythm you choose: once, quarterly, or at year’s end.
01Start here
Diagnostic Review
One-time. Your setup and data entry reviewed end to end; errors, gaps, and risk areas named plainly; clear next-step recommendations you can actually act on.
02Stay honest
Quarterly Review
Each quarter, your books are confirmed accurate, with trend guidance as you go — ongoing accountability without monthly outsourcing.
03Close the year
Annual Review
The full-year ledger reviewed, cleanup recommendations made, and your reports confirmed ready for your tax professional — before they ever ask.
Let's TalkThe Clarity Call confirms which rung is yours — pricing is customized there, too.
The group door
Back Pocket Bookkeeper Group
A monthly accountability and coworking group for owners who do their own
books — a bookkeeper in your back pocket, and a room of people doing the
same work at the same time.
“I love working with Jyenny in her Backpocket Bookkeeping group. … the weekly meetings keep me on track with managing the books for my business … Her guidance and advice has helped me become more organized and feel more confident in maintaining accurate books. … I never feel like I asked a stupid question. And she is fun with a warm, friendly personality. … While I look forward to the day I can hire her to manage my books, until then her Backpocket Bookkeeping group has made a huge difference for me. And I am fully confident in recommending Jyenny and Well Accounted Bookkeeping for anyone looking for a little support to keep it all in order or full support with someone managing the books for you.”

Meet Jyenny
A doctorate in how people finish hard things. Applied to your books.
Jyenny Babcock is the founder and strategist behind Clear Aim Advisory — and
its bookkeeper, full stop. No hand-offs, no queue: “I approach
bookkeeping as a partnership,” and she keeps the partnership
small on purpose: “I intentionally work with a limited number of
clients so I can provide steady, attentive support.”
Before the books, there were doctoral students. Jyenny spent her first career
in higher education, earned an EdD in Leadership — with a
health and wellness focus — from American College of Education,
and coached doctoral candidates through the hardest project of their lives.
It is an education doctorate, and she will be the first to tell you so: her
authority here isn’t a finance license. It’s a career spent
helping capable people finish the work they keep avoiding — which, for most
business owners, is the books.

Inspired to Climb Higher
The Challenges, Questions, Struggles, and Joy of Earning Your Doctoral
Degree. Jyenny wrote Chapter 2, “Finding Myself in the Last Place
I Thought to Look” — and calls the book “a motivational
GPS.” The Rancho Cordova Independent and the Gold River
Messenger both featured it in June 2024.
The name changed; the bookkeeper didn’t. This practice was Well Accounted Bookkeeping — it has evolved into Clear Aim Advisory, to match its focus on clear, forward-looking financial insight.

The record
Proof is a record, not a rating.
Four verifiable credentials, a partner-directory listing, a published book, and two newspaper features. That is the whole stack — shown whole.

You run a service-based business — consulting, coaching, creative work — and your books are behind, untrusted, or eating the hours your clients should get.
This is not for you if…
You need a tax return prepared or tax advice — Clear Aim is bookkeeping only, and it will point you to a tax professional with your books packaged and ready. Product and inventory businesses are case-by-case.
A 20-minute Clarity Call: your service level confirmed, your pricing customized, your fit checked in both directions.
It is a 20-minute call with a set agenda: we confirm the service level that fits you, review your transaction volume and complexity together, customize your scope and pricing, and confirm the fit — in both directions. Pricing for monthly and review services is set there, from your actual books, before you commit to anything.
No — deliberately. Clear Aim is a bookkeeping practice. At tax time, your reports are packaged and sent to you and your tax professional, and I field your tax pro’s questions directly, so filing starts from clean, complete books. Deductibility and filing questions belong with your tax professional; the books they work from are my job.
Monthly financial reports are delivered by the 15th of every month. On The Growth Insight, that report is a plain-English visual performance breakdown — profit margins, operating overhead, and cash runway — with a monthly support video call to walk through what it means for your next big business move.
Monthly and review pricing is customized to your transaction volume, number of accounts, and complexity, and it is quoted on the Clarity Call, before any engagement. One price is listed up front: the Back Pocket Bookkeeper Group, $47 a month. And there is no lock-in at Clear Aim — you can cancel your contract at any time.
QuickBooks Online or Xero — setup, training, and conversions are part of the work if you are not there yet. An invoicing tool like FreshBooks can stay in place. For banking, I recommend Relay, where bookkeeper access keeps us both looking at the same numbers.
My books are a year behind. Is it too late — or too embarrassing?
Neither. Behind is a starting point, not a verdict. Catch-Up & Clean-Up is a defined project: a setup review, miscategorized and missing transactions corrected, past months reconciled, and financials organized ready for tax preparation. With hundreds of thousands of transactions categorized across my clients’ books, a messy year is familiar territory — and here, there are no stupid questions. A client said it best: she never feels like she asked one.
This practice is service-based first. Inventory and product businesses are considered case-by-case — the Clarity Call is where we find out honestly whether I am the right fit, and I will tell you if I am not.
By email — put URGENT in the subject line for priority, and expect a response within a day or two. Monthly clients on The Growth Insight also get a scheduled support video call every month.
Take aim at the books. Twenty minutes is the whole first step.
Every engagement at Clear Aim starts with the same 20-minute Clarity Call —
Jyenny herself, a fixed four-step agenda, and a price built from your actual books.
