Uncat’s 10 must-read bookkeeping blogs
Pure Bookkeeping
Pure Bookkeeping is one of our favorite bookkeeping blogs because of its conversational writing style, even with condensed, heavier topics.
While many bookkeeping and accounting blogs cover the same topics as Pure Bookkeeping, they often fall short in translating the information into comprehensible language, especially when bookkeepers have tasks upon tasks piled on their plate every day.
But Pure Bookkeeping’s conversational writing style helps break down dense or overwhelming topics into an approachable dialogue. For example, some of the topics Pure Bookkeeping has covered include self-care topics like stress management, making unhappy customers satisfied/happy, and selling your service/product without sounding like a salesperson.
Number Crunch
Number Crunch is a great choice in blogs for bookkeepers looking for updates on accounting news and insight into bookkeeping needs for small businesses.
As the blog for OutSource Your Business (OSYB), LLC, a small business bookkeeping service, this blog is experienced and certified to provide you with genuinely useful, experienced-based tips and tricks for bookkeeping business. By connecting to the bookkeeping needs of all types of businesses (such as law firms and dental practices), this is a fantastic resource to help you land and onboard clients from any background or industry.
School of Bookkeeping
This blog is the official blog for the School of Bookkeeping, an educational institution established by accounting and bookkeeping professionals to act as an online resource providing courses and ways to connect accounting and bookkeeping professionals across the world.
While the blog often focuses on accounting software news, updates, and information, the blog is a broad online resource, so it includes anything from how to complete specific actions in accounting software like QuickBooks to learning how to focus.
For aspiring bookkeepers or new hires looking to add more accounting skills to their resume, find a new job, or learn how to use QuickBooks and integrate the software into their practice, this is a blog to check out.
5 Minute Bookkeeping
5 Minute Bookkeeping is a website/blog specifically designed to provide resources for bookkeepers.
It isn’t attached to any business or firm specifically; rather, it’s a platform providing tutorials, tips, and tricks to assist your bookkeeping practice.

Insightful Accountants
For the best bookkeeping blog on the latest accounting and technology updates—specifically regarding Intuit, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and others—Insightful Accountants is the blog to read.
