About Dana

She turns chaotic finances into clarity — and confidence.

Dana Achebe started Achebe Financial after spending years watching brilliant Black women business owners undercharge, overspend, and avoid looking at their numbers — not because they weren’t smart, but because no one had ever made finance feel safe for them.

She specializes in service-based businesses — coaches, consultants, creatives — who are generating revenue but have no real financial foundation underneath it.

“My goal is simple: I want you to feel as powerful in your finances as you do in your work.”

Common questions

Dana answers your questions

Do I need a bookkeeper or an accountant for my small business?

Most small service businesses need a bookkeeper first. A bookkeeper keeps your records clean and organized throughout the year so that when tax season comes, your accountant isn't spending expensive billable hours sorting through a mess. I handle the day-to-day bookkeeping so your accountant can focus on strategy and filing.

When should I hire a bookkeeper?

The moment you're spending more than an hour a week managing your own finances, or you genuinely don't know what your profit margin is, it's time. The longer you wait, the more expensive the cleanup — and the more money you're likely leaving on the table in missed deductions.

How much does a bookkeeper cost for a small business?

For a service-based small business, monthly bookkeeping typically ranges from $200 to $800 per month depending on transaction volume and complexity. My Financial Foundation Package starts at $497/month and includes bookkeeping, a monthly P&L report, and quarterly tax prep — so you're not piecing together multiple services.

What does a bookkeeper actually do every month?

Every month I reconcile your accounts, categorize your transactions, and send you a plain-English profit and loss report so you know exactly what came in, what went out, and what's left. No jargon, no spreadsheets you have to decode — just a clear picture of your business finances.

Can a bookkeeper help me with my taxes?

A bookkeeper keeps your books clean throughout the year, which makes tax time significantly cheaper and less stressful. I also do tax strategy and quarterly estimated tax planning, so you're never caught off guard by a surprise tax bill.

Looking for referral partners

Build a two-way referral relationship.

Dana isn't just looking for clients—she's looking for fellow business owners to refer back and forth with.

She's looking to connect with

Business coaches, consultants, and virtual assistants who work with early-stage service business owners—especially anyone whose clients are growing past DIY bookkeeping.

A good partnership looks like

If your clients are scaling past spreadsheets and guesswork, I'm a strong referral. I'll send business your way too—especially clients who need support before they're ready for full bookkeeping.

This month's ask

July 2026

Looking to connect with virtual assistants who work with coaches. My clients often need help with their inbox and calendar before they're ready for a bookkeeper, and I'd love a trusted person to send them to.

Introduce yourself to Dana

How to refer her

Everything you need to send her the right person.

A referral works best when both people know what they're walking into.

Her ideal client is

A woman-owned service business making $50k–$300k/yr who has revenue but no real financial clarity.

A great referral looks like

“My friend runs a coaching business and has no idea what her profit margin is.”
