QuickBooks Online Tips Every Business Coach and Consultant Should Know in 2025
As a business coach or consultant, you guide clients to clarity, growth, and strategy—but how clear are your own financial systems?
Many coaches and consultants overlook their bookkeeping until tax season hits. But with the right setup, QuickBooks Online (QBO) can give you the insights you need to run a more profitable, stress-free business all year long.
Here are 4 QuickBooks ProAdvisor tips designed specifically for consultants and coaches who want to keep their finances streamlined and smart in 2025.
1. Track Income by Offer or Program
If you offer 1:1 coaching, VIP days, courses, or group programs, set up custom income categories so you can see which revenue streams perform best.
2. Automate Client Invoices
Don’t waste time manually billing clients each month. Use recurring invoices and payment reminders to stay on top of cash flow.
3. Use Classes or Tags to Track Marketing ROI
Want to know if your podcast, webinar, or referral network is paying off? Use classes or tags in QBO to track how clients are coming to you and what it’s costing.
4. Review Reports Monthly
Get into the habit of reviewing your Profit & Loss statement monthly. It gives you real-time clarity on revenue, expenses, and overall profitability—exactly what you preach to your clients.

FAQ: QuickBooks for Coaches & Consultants
Q: Can I track multiple income streams in QBO?

Q: What if I’ve already made mistakes in QBO?
A: No problem! The DBR community includes cleanup support and walkthroughs.
Q: Do I need an accountant too?
