About the Author

I’m Anna Hill, CPA. I founded the 11,000 member strong Facebook group for Amazon sellers called Accounting We Will Go. I envisioned the group as a place for sellers to build a community to help with something most people don’t like doing: their books. I realized that the need for accounting help was substantial but with so many different types and sizes of online seller businesses there was a need for self-education on how to do simple bookkeeping for growing businesses.

That’s how this site came to be. I combined my more than 20 years as a CPA licensed in Georgia with my experience of being a small-scale Amazon seller myself to create this set of online courses for small e-commerce businesses. I’m passionate about helping the seller community become self-sufficient in keeping their books, by teaching them how to do it right!
