Paperless by Design: Running a Sustainable Remote Bookkeeping Business

Remote WorkSustainability
Written By Victoria Stokes

I’ve been fully remote and paperless for years — not because it’s trendy, but because it’s intentional. When you live and work digitally, you quickly learn that efficiency and sustainability can go hand in hand.

At I’m the Bookkeeper, I use secure cloud-based tools like QuickBooks Online, Google Workspace, and encrypted digital filing. I’ve eliminated paper records, cut down on travel, and built systems that are both eco-friendly and efficient.

My clients appreciate it, too — no boxes of receipts, no lost files, no waste. Just clean books, simple collaboration, and a workflow that honors the planet as much as it supports their peace of mind.

Sustainability, to me, means creating systems that last — for our businesses, our families, and the earth we share.
