You weren't meant to build this alone.

Quite frankly, bookkeepers and accountants need to stick together.

I spent way too long in my own career being a lone wolf — figuring everything out on my own, second-guessing my decisions, undercharging, overdelivering, and struggling in silence. That's exactly why I created this community.

Because running a bookkeeping or accounting business is not just about doing great client work. It's about learning how to lead, price, communicate, set boundaries, make decisions, and build a business that actually supports your life.

And you should not have to figure all of that out by yourself.

On June 1st, I'm bringing a few of the incredible women in my village into a virtual room — just for you. This is your invitation to step away from the daily client work for one afternoon and get poured into, encouraged, challenged, and equipped with practical tools you can carry back into your business.

Because as I always say: you only fly as high as the flock you are with.

Learn practical lessons from women who have gone before you.

You'll hear real-world wisdom on leadership, money, resilience, pricing, and decision-making — so you can skip some of the guesswork and move forward with more confidence.

Celebrate how far you've already come.

You've worked hard to build your business, serve your clients, and keep going — even when it felt heavy. We'll take time to honor what you've already accomplished and help you see yourself as the business owner and leader you are becoming.

See what becomes possible with the right support.

You'll discover why community is not a "nice to have." It is a strategic advantage when you are building a firm, making hard decisions, and creating a business that supports your life. Running a business without a village is like being the captain of the boat without a crew!

My Promise to You

It Takes a Village is not just a day of inspiration — it's a day you will learn skills and tools you can use forever.

Practical mindset shifts for pricing, leadership, and growth

You'll learn how to think differently about your value, your role as CEO, and the decisions that help you build a more sustainable firm.

Real conversations about money and confidence

We'll talk honestly about undercharging, self-trust, financial certainty, and what it takes to stop making business decisions from fear.

Leadership lessons you can apply immediately

You'll hear practical strategies for motivating yourself, communicating with more confidence, and leading your business with more intention.

A deeper understanding of why community matters

You'll see why the right room can shorten your learning curve, strengthen your decision-making, and help you stop carrying everything alone.

This is your chance to learn from the best.

I am absolutely honored to bring together women who have inspired me, challenged me, taught me, and reminded me what's possible when you have the right people around you.

Justine Lackey
Host
Justine Lackey
Business Mentor for Bookkeepers & Accountants

I founded one of North America's first virtual bookkeeping firms, scaled it, and completed a successful exit in 2023. Now, I help ambitious bookkeepers and accountants build structured, profitable businesses — with better systems, stronger pricing, clearer boundaries, and more confidence as business owners.

I created It Takes a Village because I know what it feels like to build alone, and I also know how much faster, lighter, and more powerfully you can grow when you are surrounded by the right people.

Ready to join the Village?

I've been planning this day for months, and I'm carefully curating every moment to make it meaningful, practical, and worth your time.

Block your calendar for Monday, June 1st from 1:00 – 4:00 PM Eastern.

Bring a notebook, your favorite drink, and an open mind.

Anything is possible when you are in the right room.
