Client Love Notes

Writing a testimonial for Jordan Ilderton Bookkeeping

I work with the most brilliant humans + am so honored + grateful to partner with them and their businesses!

Some of my clients have been clients for 5-10 years!  I do not take these relationships lightly and give them my ALL!  Truly, my 1:1 support is like NOTHING you’ve ever experienced before!

 

Working with Jordan has been like having a secret weapon in my back pocket all the time. I have doubled my revenue, clarified my services, and generally grown as a business owner.

Jordan has helped me define what I want out of my business, not just in money, but in time as well. She understands what it’s like to run a business and can give impartial feedback on my issues.

Jordan has helped my business grow, but she has also enriched my life in ways I could have never imagined.

I am a better business owner and person for working with her.

Emily Pote, Pote Management

Working with Jordan has been an absolute game-changer for both my business and my mindset. 

From the very beginning, she brought clarity to my finances through meticulous bookkeeping and helped me create a strategic plan to grow my business with intention. She doesn’t just talk numbers—she helps you understand the why behind them and how they align with your bigger goals.

Since working together, my revenue has increased, I’ve attracted more aligned clients, and I finally have a financial system that supports growth rather than chaos. 

I’m making smarter, more informed decisions that directly impact my bottom line.Honestly, the peace of mind is priceless.

I no longer feel overwhelmed or avoidant about money. I’ve gained confidence, set clearer boundaries, and feel empowered as a business owner. 

My mindset around money has completely shifted—from scarcity to strategy.One specific way my life has been impacted: I now make decisions based on data and long-term goals, not just emotions or “what feels urgent.” 

That has reduced so much stress and helped me show up as a stronger leader in my business.

If I had to sum up the experience in a few words: Empowering, strategic, and transformative. 

I’m so grateful for Jordan and the impact she’s had on my business and my life!”

Michele n.

Going all in and making the pivotal decision to work with Jordan has been the BEST business move I have made. Jordan truly offers deep, heart-centered 1:1 care, support and guidance in every interaction together. 

I’m moving into my 2nd 6 months of working together and my business has completely done a 180 through the process of restructuring my practice in a sustainable manner long term, honing in on my messaging, demographics, knowing my client’s needs and connecting my services accordingly.
But here’s the thing… amongst all the ‘business moves’ I’ve made with Jordan’s help, the foundation she helped me rebuild and solidify has been in learning to deeply trust and honor myself and rebuild my confidence. THIS is everything. This is the transformation that Jordan has assisted in me bringing to my business because I am changing … in my mindset, perspective and skill sets!
If I could have done anything differently, it would have been to start with Jordan at the beginning of my business so that I had the support and guidance from the start. Don’t waste anymore time trying to do it yourself or do it alone … Jordan is well versed in the needs and roadblocks that we entrepreneurs have and hit up against and is ready to transform your business despairs to unimaginable success!
I can not wait to see what this next season holds for my continued personal growth and business success!”
Bethany Huss, RN, CCH

“I came to Jordan in a phase of my business where I was in the middle of a complete pivot, not really knowing which direction to take next. I am a very intuitive (sometimes impulsive) person and was initially attracted to Jordan’s down-to-earth, logical approach to help ground my ideas.

I loved working with Jordan! She is a genius in her strategic analysis and I truly felt so supported. She cared so much about me and my business every step of the way.

During our work together, I launched a free call as part of my funnel and had multiple people booking the call immediately. I also launched a women’s circle and had people signing up and joining live, which was so exciting!

From our work, I feel very clear about the direction I want to take my business. I also gained a ton of confidence in myself, my services, and the way I approach my content. I feel a deep shift in who I am, and I know that this will translate even more in tangible business results in the future.

I stopped making myself wrong in so many different ways.

Jordan empowered me to throw away the rulebook and let go of all the shoulds in my mind when it comes to running a successful online business and helped me guide me towards what I want, what I believe in, and how I WANT to run my business and bring in clients.

Jordan was truly there for me every step of the way.

She is a genius and so knowledgeable when it comes to business strategy, but also helped me with crucial mindset shifts.

I am so grateful to have worked with Jordan and happy about where I am in my business.”

“I was exhausted from taking every job that was offered. Each one required doing many hours of physical labor and I couldn’t determine profits or if this business even made sense to continue
We narrowly defined the client so that I got in front of the right audiences.
We established procedures.
We created packages where full estimates could be provided and signed off on by the client before any work began.
I recently booked my largest (and most trying) client as one of these new packages.

With Jordan’s advice on how to process and respond to great projects with challenging clients, I’m able to get past my stuff and focus an exciting and successful project.

Life happened and took the wind out of my sails. I would have folded the business without Jordan. Even when I couldn’t light the world on fire, Jordan provided warm and caring support along with smart, bite-sized tasks to keep myself and my clients engaged.

I have confidence in my business- and my ability to offer an important service that no one else is offering. I found my niche and am no longer second-guessing my decision to start this business.”

Client message sent for a referral:

“I am connecting you with what I consider the best business coach in Charleston, Jordan Ilderton. We have been working together going on 5 years, and she helped me hit over 1M in cash in my business, streamline systems, and focus on the areas of my best that need my expertise. She’s also a genuine and honest person and I am lucky to have her.”

Michele

“I absolutely LOVE working with Jordan!  She is so smart and logical and really looks at the big picture!  Her calm personality and skillset make her a huge asset to have on your side.  Jordan is one of the most organized and intelligent people I have ever met.  That is definitely the kind of person you want helping you get your business and finances in order!

She truly cares about every single one of her clients and is a huge cheerleader for you!  She is the real deal.  HIRE HER TODAY!

If you’re on the fence about hiring Jordan, just book the call!  Having the opportunity to do a FREE call without any sort of pressure is so nice!  Plus it’s actually a call where you get a ton of value and actionable steps to implement right away!  I think everyone should hop on a call just to see what potential there is and to just get the support.”

Kristy

I was trying to figure out how to grow beyond attracting only traditional bookkeeping clients. I wanted clarity on how to position myself to reach a larger audience, create higher-value offers, and build a business that wasn’t solely dependent on monthly bookkeeping services. My goal was to shift from competing on bookkeeping alone to creating premium solutions that would allow me to make a bigger impact while increasing my revenue.

Working with her was a great experience. Sometimes I struggle to put into words exactly what I’m trying to say or the direction I want to go, but she always understood what I meant and helped expand my ideas into something even better. She helped me create three offers that build on each other, giving me a clear path for clients to grow with my business. More importantly, she challenged me to think beyond where I am today and focus on the bigger picture of where I want my business to go. I left our sessions with more clarity, confidence, and a long-term vision instead of just focusing on the immediate next step.

I just want you to know how much I appreciated your ability to understand what I was trying to create, even when I struggled to fully explain it. You have a talent for taking scattered thoughts and turning them into clear, actionable ideas.

Liz, Bookkeeper + advisor

“Working with Jordan is a transformative experience. Her strategic insights and personalized approach, tailored to my specific needs, provided a supportive framework that led to significant progress in a short period of time.

Before working with Jordan, I struggled to believe I could scale my boutique marketing agency. I felt consumed by anxiety and overwhelmed by uncertainty. I needed someone who has successfully scaled a thriving business to provide guidance and a neutral perspective as I mapped out a path through the woods.

From the very beginning, she helped me find clarity, solutions, and structure in my business operations. We tackled daunting tasks, such as creating a sales process that felt authentic and organizing my bookkeeping practices. She helped me establish better boundaries, which has considerably improved my experience being an entrepreneur.

Not only have I experienced a significant increase in both revenue and client acquisition, but my confidence and self-worth have also improved substantially. I have been able to break through limiting beliefs I didn’t realize were standing in my way.

I now feel more in control of my business and less overwhelmed. Jordan’s support has been invaluable, and I highly recommend working with her!”

Natalie, ceo of diffuse media lab

Not to sound dramatic, but for me specifically it felt like “true peace of mind”. I believe in God and at the time I had many questions swirling in my mind.

Jordan was so attuned to that being my source of peace that she always tried her best to communicate things to me in a language that felt like she was answering these questions without knowing them.

It helped me stay optimistic in a waiting period and keep my eyes on the bigger picture.

I am a person who is very reluctant to ask for help and can at times be stubborn in what I think I need. She really helped me see the areas that needed work.

And surprisingly enough, that first moment I realized it helped me open up my mind to what else I was needing a third party to look at and help me realize how I can better what I was already doing.

I enjoyed every session; it helped tremendously with my mindset and in turn with how I was approaching every little task to build systems and processes.

Seeing the data was really life-changing because you learn to not just throw stones into random targets but, being intentional and precise. Although the income and clients were not to be seen at the moment because I chose the organic route, the momentum skyrocketed as a result of all the work put in, and I’m so happy I did it.

My mindset changed forever! I gained my confidence back, felt a lot less overwhelmed about the what if it doesn’t work out, remembering that I was not inexperienced and I need to walk in that in everything I do and say. The huge part of it all, I felt a lot less alone in building something and that was a game changer for me and my business journey.

Liz

“Getting feedback on my outreach message, and knowing that I have clear next steps that I could work on after our initial call. I also appreciated all of the notes that Jordan sent after our initial call.

I referred back to those notes all week as I was making content, creating my landing page, and thinking about how I could really differentiate myself.

E.F.

I can’t speak highly enough of Jordan and her team. They have completely transformed our financial management by professionalizing our books and implementing effective tracking systems.

Thanks to them, our processes are more streamlined and we have actionable insights at our fingertips. Jordan’s expertise has not only simplified our day-to-day operations, but has also provided us with a clearer understanding of our financial health and put us on a path for sustainable growth.

Beyond their expertise, Jordan and her team are incredibly easy to work with and integrate seamlessly in our operations, becoming a valued team member.  I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to elevate their financial management.

Rob a.

Before our work, I felt uncertain and unsure if this transition was the best way forward.  After our work, I feel clearer about the sales process and how to work pitching my services into my content naturally. 

I’m feeling more confident in attracting potential customers rather than hiding.  Now I have a list of people to follow up with and continue them through my sales journey.  If you’re on the fence about this work…it has to be done! 

There is no way around it.  If you’re working for yourself…you have to sell.  No one else is going to do it for you and getting comfortable with selling is required to create a sustainable business!

Natalie v.

What so impressed me about Jordan was her ability to provide practical advice that was tailored to my specific situation.  She didn’t give me generic recommendations or one-size-fits-all solutions.  I highly recommend scheduling at least a call with her to explore where you can break through barriers in your business!

bernie d.

Jordan is amazing!  Very knowledgeable and great ideas to help you grow your business!

Heather

Two months ago I left my corporate job to fulfill a lifelong dream to start my own business.  As a busy mom of two little ones I knew there would be some challenges along the way and one of the biggest obstacles for me was the numbers.  While I consider myself organized it was hard for me to track expenses, revenue, and income effectively.  And then I met Jordan!  After booking a free call, I was confident I needed to hire her to help me setup my business in QBO and get trained on how to use it.  Our time together was efficient, eye-opening, and effective!  I feel so much more confident as a business owner seeing where I stand financially, and I am confident my time with Jordan will help me scale up as I continue to grow my business.  It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I could see the health of my business clearly for the first time.  I am confident every business owner can benefit from her gentle guidance and expertise!

Erin p.

Jordan gave me great guidance and inspiration in trying to organize my time better in order to get the most out of all the different parts of life including my business.  It’s wonderful to have someone break down a larger problem into more bite-sized pieces that you can work on in increments for consistent results.

Gret m.

I worked with Jordan for a “60 Minutes To Clarity + Connection” call, and it was one of the best investements I made for my business in 2022!  Jordan helped me get really clear about my numbers.  Before our call, I was afraid to pay myself as a new business owner, but she helped me set up a system that really streamlined how I looked and planned with my money on a weekly and monthly basis!

Nicole w.

Jordan also helped me think through my packages strategically, and the clarity I gained from our call helped me identify some changes I needed to make in my business to make it more profitable. 

I’m so grateful to Jordan for helping me take these next steps!

Nicole w.

I absoluetly want to continue work with you!  It’s been a huge change for me and my business.  I truly appreciate all of your insight and support.  You are honest and real and I need that in my life and business.  I can’t thank you enough and look forward to continuing this relationship!

Michele N.

I can honestly say she has helped my business grow. She is responsive and thoughtful and she takes the time to give me all the details I need to see the changes I’m looking for in my business.

Michele N.

We are SO grateful to go into another year with you and your team.

holly t.

I got a lot of value from our intensive. Being able to sit down with someone and talk through marketing content ideas was so helpful. I have been stuck on coming up with content since I started my firm three years ago. Now I finally have a list! I am hopeful that this will help propel my business forward.

Lauren A.

So honored to work with you.  You’ve literally changed my business.

Michele N.

When we had our intensive call I told you a previous month I had made $70 from (services), then several months of no inquiries or bookings, and not covering expenses.  Currently, I have $2000 in open invoices.  I’ve had a lot of inquiries, and I’ve gotten comfortable with my pricing.  It’s just amazing!  I really thank you for all the guidance in clarifying my offers and feeling confident in my process.  I also just paid myself!  Champagne is chilling for tonight to celebrate!

Nicole

Jordan is patient, concise, a true professional, and listens to the situation before evaluating.  Which made her a joy to collaborate with in every scenario.

Hands down, more income was the result of working together.  She let me focus on clients’ needs and took on the financial responsibility of organizing things as they were delivered.  This outsourcing helped me focus on getting more opportunities.

Working with Jordan has allowed me to know when to ask an expert to handle what I do not have skills or time to accomplish.  Her approach to things is different than mine, and the balance was overwhelming positive.

She is ever mindful to the needs of others, and overdelivers what she commits to.

Gil, True Sourcing Solutions

We no longer feel confused or alone in monthly accounting. As our business began to grow, Jordan took the initiative to help us better harness our direction and efforts. She’s completely worth the investment.

Annise

 She keeps up all the financial parts together so I don’t have to worry about the “details” and can focus on what I do best, helping people get and stay healthy. I have started two different businesses at this point in my life and I regret not having found Jordan sooner…she is excellent at what she does.

Lisa B.

As a business owner, you get so caught up in running your business that you don’t make time to dot your i’s and cross your t’s. Well- Jordan saved our lives!!
Because of her social media posts- and the consistency of them- I was constantly reminded that I also needed to focus on our books to keep our business running. We hired Jordan to help us get a strategy and on track with QB and bookkeeping.
In the first week, we realized we hadn’t coded over $200k of expenses correctly in our QB which means we would have paid significantly more income tax on money we didn’t actually keep. After that- we hired Jordan to help us get our books in order and a system to keep them that way. It’s the best money we’ve ever spent. So, so thankful!

Kimberly

Jordan has a soulful approach that helps keep what’s important to me as the forefront of my business. She’s helped me create profitability goals and helped create clear pathways to meet them.
Holly

As a business owner, it can be hard to ask for help. But Jordan was very easy to talk to. She has great energy for what she does and true talent when it comes to all things business.

Chris

Jordan & her team do an excellent job. Jordan isn’t your ordinary bookkeeper. She’s a CPA with considerable experience helping small businesses stay on top of their books. Jordan understands the big picture, and is able take financial data and distill it into useful insights for your business.
Walker

 I highly suggest using Ilderton Bookkeeping & Advisory! As a self-employed business owner, it is crucial to stay organized and on top of finances each month. Jordan and her team go above and beyond for their clients! Search no more for a bookkeeper- you found the right one!

MelToms

I have known Jordan for many years and she is always professional, detail oriented, and very hardworking. She will exceed your expectations and you won’t regret using her services!
Allison

Since we started working with you our stress level has gone from 100% to 20%!
Michele M.

They are the absolute best!!! So wonderful to work with, fast and efficient. 5 out of 5 stars.

Michele M.

Our work together made me feel more confident in my ability to sit down and actually figure things out! I have been avoiding it in fear that I don’t have enough time, or I am going to make things more complicated for myself. But this session made me realize that I am worth investing in!

If you’re on the fence, I would probably say that even if it feels like you don’t have all the answers, that’s okay. This really helps you just getting your ideas out and gives you a great starting point (or even more than that).
Taking this time is actually the first time I have thought about these things, or been asked these questions. I feel like all business owners can really benefit from this.

Michelle F.

Before our work together my biggest challenge was was lack of big picture ideas and organization of thoughts. It wasn’t a good feeling at all. Left me stuck in stagnant mode.

The session helped provide several strategies I can implement now! To anyone considering this work, I would say, “Don’t wait, you can only benefit from this work!”

Janelle

I am super grateful to Jordan for the knowledge and help she has provided me. I am excited to take control of my business and personal finances and am blissful for the forthcoming changes.

Iris

I found Jordan on Google and am so happy I worked with her! She was prompt, smart, professional, and understanding. I went from feeling “lost” in my business to feeling on top of things. I would totally recommend.
Amanda

My books were jumbled and disorganized and somehow you made sense of it all! You literally saved me and my marriage!

Elizabeth

I manage a few small businesses and have used Jordan for a couple of years. She is talented and just very good at what she does. She provides great monthly and quarterly reports always on time and accurate.

Reggie

I’ve worked with Jordan since she first started and I have been nothing but pleased with my experience. She is quick and punctual to respond and makes sure to remind me of deadlines. She works with my tax accountant to make sure that they get everything they need. Super professional and friendly.
Rosanne

Jordan has been a very valuable part of our team for several years. Even though she is an independent contractor we all think of her as an insider. I feel that Jordan treats my business as if it were her own. I would highly recommend working with her!
