My name is Vicki McCay. I’m a wife and homeschooling mother, who has an eCommerce business and does accounting for local small businesses. With many years of experience in automotive (double-entry) accounting under my belt, QuickBooks was the logical choice when I started my eCommerce journey.
Having run an Amazon business for a few years, I’ve gained valuable experience and empathy for my fellow Amazon sellers. I spend a lot of time these days helping others find their way as they try to navigate the eCommerce world.
Being an entrepreneur and teacher at heart, it is only natural to share what we learn with others. Hope you enjoy the ride with us.
