From Panic to Prosperity: How Ann McPherson Transformed Her Life with Bill Von Fumetti’s Booming Bookkeeping Business

Published

on

Redondo Beach, CA, 21st July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, When Ann McPherson lost her job in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, she found herself in crisis. As the primary breadwinner in her family, her top priority was clear: keep the house. But with a shrinking job market, outdated skills, and growing financial pressure, she didn’t just need another paycheck. She needed a lifeline. That lifeline came in the form of a YouTube video featuring CPA and entrepreneur Bill Von Fumetti, founder of Booming Bookkeeping Business.

Just seven months after enrolling in Von Fumetti’s mentorship program, McPherson now bills over $6,500 a month. That adds up to an annualized income of roughly $75,000. She works fewer than 35 hours a week, manages her own schedule, and most importantly, has reclaimed her peace of mind.

The Breaking Point

With 25 years of experience in administrative, legal, and bookkeeping roles, McPherson had every reason to believe she was employable, even during a global downturn. But after losing her job in May 2020, she quickly realized how much the world had changed.

In one pivotal interview for a bookkeeping position, the hiring manager told her directly: “I really like you, but you need to know QuickBooks Online.” That feedback was a turning point. “I had all the experience, but it was outdated,” McPherson recalled in an interview with Von Fumetti. “And I was really grateful for his honesty because it was information that I really needed to hear.”

Determined to get back on her feet, she turned to the internet for answers. That’s when she found Von Fumetti’s video explaining how to launch a virtual bookkeeping business. “The sincerity in your video made me trust you instantly,” McPherson said. “Even though there was a cost to the program, I knew that it cost money to make money. And the overall success I’d have from the program would pay in spades.”

Her experience has become one of many positive stories contributing to the growing number of favorable booming bookkeeping business reviews online.

Step-by-Step Success

Booming Bookkeeping Business is known for its clear, structured mentorship approach. Designed for both beginners and experienced professionals, the program offers a roadmap for launching and growing a virtual bookkeeping business. For McPherson, who was dealing with personal and financial stress, the structured format provided a way forward.

“I needed someone real and tangible to take me by the hand,” she said. “The step-by-step nature of the program kept me focused, even when I felt like my world was spinning out of control.”

Von Fumetti emphasizes two keys to success: putting in the effort and reaching out for support. McPherson followed both. She joined every coaching call, participated actively in the Facebook group, and made full use of the support channels. “That’s what I tell people,” Von Fumetti said. “You have to commit to doing the work and staying engaged.”

Beyond Bookkeeping

Within a few months, McPherson expanded beyond standard bookkeeping and began offering additional services. “It’s amazing how the people you meet through the program help you grow,” she said. “We share knowledge, we share ideas, and I’ve added new services based on what I’ve learned from others.”

She found particular value in the marketing module. “That section alone is worth the cost of the program,” she said. “You didn’t just teach us how to find clients. You showed us how to attract high-quality clients and how to charge appropriately for the work.”

McPherson now bills at premium rates, which is a contrast to many other bookkeepers in her area who continue to undercharge. “You helped us understand how to value ourselves,” she said. “Now I’m earning what my work is truly worth.”

This kind of result echoes many of the most enthusiastic booming bookkeeping business reviews shared by other students.

A New Lease on Life

Income is only part of the story. What McPherson values most is the renewed sense of control, peace, and balance in her daily life. “I can breathe again,” she said. “I have hope. I’m back in the saddle. I’ve got my joy back and my confidence too.”

She works between 25 and 35 hours a week, balancing her business with homeschooling and family time. “If I didn’t have those other responsibilities, I believe I would already be earning six figures,” she said. “But right now, I’m focused on creating a life I actually enjoy.”

This kind of lifestyle flexibility is at the core of what Booming Bookkeeping Business stands for. “You get to wake up when you want, work when you want, and be your own boss,” she said. “That sense of freedom is what I had been missing.”

A Thriving Community of Support

Another unexpected benefit for McPherson was the community built around the program. “We have an amazing network of students who support each other,” she said. “Whether you’re a CPA or brand new, everyone helps everyone else.”

Von Fumetti echoed that sentiment. “That’s something I’m really proud of. You don’t just get a course. You join a community of people who genuinely want to see you succeed.”

A Rising Tide in a Growing Industry

Demand for qualified bookkeepers is high, and McPherson is seeing that firsthand. “The bookkeepers in my area aren’t taking on new clients. There’s more demand than supply,” she said.

Von Fumetti emphasized the need for capable professionals. “Clients want more than just someone to handle bank reconciliations. They want someone who understands their business and helps them grow,” he said.

That focus on real value is part of what continues to generate strong booming bookkeeping business reviews from students who see real-world results.

Advice for the Undecided

For those thinking about starting a bookkeeping business, McPherson offered clear advice. “There’s a lot of noise and information out there. This program helped me stay focused when I needed it the most. And best of all, you learn how to charge what your work is actually worth.”

Her final message was simple. “If I can do it, anyone can.”

A Legacy of Empowerment

As the workforce evolves, programs like Booming Bookkeeping Business are helping people take back control of their lives. For Ann McPherson, what started as a desperate search for stability became a path to independence, growth, and lasting success.

“Bill, I appreciate you,” she said during their conversation. “You’ve made a real difference in my life.”

And she’s one of many. With thousands of students enrolled and countless testimonials, Booming Bookkeeping Business continues to offer more than just training. It delivers hope, clarity, and a pathway to a better future.

Roland Sanchez-Medina Jr. Advocates for Better Mental Health in the Legal Profession

Published

on

Miami attorney and Bar leader urges lawyers to look out for each other, before it’s too late

Florida, US, 21st July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Attorney and civic leader Roland Sanchez-Medina Jr., a founding partner at SMGQ Law, is calling for a renewed focus on mental health and wellness across the legal profession. Drawing from personal experience and decades of legal work, Sanchez-Medina is raising awareness about the silent challenges many attorneys face, and what can be done to change the culture from within.

“The legal profession is emotionally and mentally demanding,” Sanchez-Medina said. “We need to support lawyers before things fall apart, not after.”

Recent national studies show:

  • 28% of lawyers suffer from depression

  • 19% report anxiety

  • Over 11% have considered suicide at some point in their careers

Source: ABA Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs

Despite these staggering numbers, stigma and fear of professional judgment keep many attorneys from seeking help.

“A Softer, Kinder, Gentler Profession”

Sanchez-Medina, who has practiced law for over 30 years, says the problem isn’t just personal, it’s cultural.

“Too many lawyers only hear from their professional circles when something goes wrong,” he said.
“We need to build a legal community where connection, not just correction, is the norm.”

He stresses that mental health should not be treated as a side issue. “This can affect careers, families, and lives,” he said. “If attorneys lose their ability to make a living, everything else can unravel.”

Mentorship and Human Connection

Sanchez-Medina believes part of the solution lies in peer support. He has mentored dozens of young lawyers and students over the years, including a former teenage Haitian immigrant and a young associate who became a partner at his firm.

“Mentorship changes lives,” he said. “Someone did it for me. Now I try to do it for others.”

In 2018, he arranged a Harvard tour for low-income Miami high school students during his daughter’s time as a student there. “Those little things matter,” he said. “Sometimes people just need a door opened, or someone to say, ‘I see you.’”

What You Can Do

Sanchez-Medina’s message isn’t about launching a foundation or starting a campaign. It’s simpler: each person can do something.

“Check in on a colleague. Offer time to a law student. Use the resources that are already out there,” he said.
“And don’t be afraid to talk about mental health like we talk about deadlines or cases.”

A Personal Mission

The son of Cuban immigrants, Sanchez-Medina understands the pressure to push through silently. But he says the time has come to rethink that mindset.

“We’re trained to solve other people’s problems. But we rarely stop to check on ourselves,” he said.
“That needs to change. And it starts with us.”

He isn’t representing any organization in this effort, just himself, a lawyer who has seen the highs and lows of the profession.

“This is personal,” he added. “We can build a healthier profession together. But only if we decide to.”

Lawyers, legal staff, and law students are encouraged to:

  • Reach out to someone they haven’t spoken to in a while

  • Ask how colleagues are really doing

  • Recommend confidential support services when needed

  • Speak openly about stress, burnout, and wellness in their circles

“If you see someone struggling, don’t wait. Say something. Be the reason someone feels less alone.”

About Roland Sanchez-Medina Jr.
Roland Sanchez-Medina Jr. is a corporate and tax attorney based in Miami, Florida. He is a founding partner at SMGQ Law and has held leadership roles in legal and civic organizations across the state. His work focuses on mentorship, inclusion, and building a more human-centered legal profession.

Kavya Travel Calls for a Return to Human Connection in a Tech-Obsessed World

Published

on

Why One Travel Company Is Making Phones Ring and Making Us Rethink How We Travel

Indiana, US, 21st July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a digital world filled with chatbots, wait times, and endless online forms, Kavya Travel is sounding the alarm—and offering a simple alternative: talk to a human.

Founded in August 2022, Kavya Travel has quietly grown into a movement. Without raising outside funding, the company has already helped over 10,000 travelers by doing something that feels almost revolutionary in 2025: answering the phone.

“Most websites are built for people aged 10 to 30,” says a founding team member. “But once you get above 30, people start preferring a human touch. Above 50? It’s even more true.”

The numbers support this shift. A 2024 AARP survey found that 68% of people over age 45 prefer speaking to a live agent when booking travel. In the same survey, only 12% of respondents over age 60 trusted online-only travel platforms to solve issues quickly.

Fighting the Quiet Isolation of Digital Convenience

Kavya Travel isn’t just booking trips—they’re advocating for connection in customer service. “We found there is no alternative to the comfort a customer gets by having someone on the phone,” the team explains.

While tech companies continue automating away voice support, Kavya did the opposite. They built their own call center. They launched Google ads. Within months, they were receiving over 500 calls a day—mostly from travelers seeking help from someone who would just listen.

“Everything today—your gym trainer, your food delivery, even your doctor—is through a screen,” the company states. “We want to change that.”

This Is Bigger Than Travel

For Kavya, this is about more than vacations. It’s about bringing back a type of service that feels real—one where people aren’t just numbers in a queue.

They hear daily from seniors who feel shut out by self-service platforms. Parents overwhelmed by logistics. Students looking for deals. Solo travelers just wanting to talk things through.

And people are listening. Their cruise booking platform now features over 700 ships, 50+ cruise lines, and custom itineraries that span from $170 Caribbean getaways to luxury Alaskan cruises.

But the goal has never been to just sell more cruises.

“Success,” the founders say, “is when a customer completes the journey, returns home safe, and knows we were there the whole way.”

Why This Matters

The decline of voice-based support isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a barrier. Studies show that nearly 1 in 4 Americans over age 60 have abandoned an online purchase due to difficulty navigating automated systems (Pew Research, 2023).

For many, frustration leads to exclusion. People opt out of services they want or need because they can’t get past the software.

Kavya Travel is calling attention to that problem. And they’re not asking for money. They’re asking for awareness.

What You Can Do

Kavya isn’t telling people to throw out their phones or delete their apps. They’re just asking you to pause and reflect:

  • Do you know someone who avoids booking online because they don’t trust it?
  • Have you ever been stuck in an endless loop of “press 1 to continue”?
  • Have you ever wished you could just talk to someone?

“You don’t need to wait for the world to change,” says the team. “Just pick up the phone. Talk to someone. Help others do the same.”

About Kavya Travel

Kavya Travel Company LLC, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, is a fully self-funded, CLIA-certified online travel agency with a mission to restore human-first customer service. They specialize in cruise bookings, flights, hotels, and car rentals—serving travelers across the U.S. and Canada. As of 2025, they are developing their new cruise-focused brand, TheTripTime.com.

Call a loved one to help them book a trip. Support services that listen. And remember—travel should feel human. Kavya Travel is proving that it still can.
