Olive Knits – Empowering Creative Confidence with Clear Finances through Digits
Olive Knits is a thriving creative small business that empowers knitters with patterns, workshops, and a supportive community called Knit Camp. Founded by Marie Greene, a passionate entrepreneur, the company’s mission is to help knitters gain creative confidence while fostering connection. Through a blend of educational resources and community building, Olive Knits has become a trusted resource for makers worldwide.
Yet, behind the vibrant community and steady growth, Marie found herself facing a frustrating—yet all too common—challenge: managing the finances of a small business.
The Financial Struggle 🧵
Like many entrepreneurs, Marie initially relied on a patchwork of accounting solutions. QuickBooks felt overwhelming. Spreadsheets became unmanageable. Other tools never adapted to her corrections, forcing her to repeat the same work and leaving her unable to trust the results. Even with a private bookkeeper, she found herself needing to dedicate hours each week answering calls, emails, and clarifying transactions.
The result? Stress, backlogs, and sleepless nights.
“I used to stay awake worrying about the state of my books,” Marie recalled. “Even with a bookkeeper, I felt like I was still doing too much of the work myself.”
Discovering Digits 🔍
One late night, in the middle of insomnia brought on by accounting stress, Marie turned to ChatGPT for help. She searched for AI bookkeeping solutions and discovered Digits on a list of top platforms. Intrigued by its promise of automation and clarity, she decided to give it a try.
Her goal was simple: eliminate the time sink and stress of bookkeeping while gaining reliable, and timely visibility into her finances.
The Digits Impact 🎯
Since adopting Digits, Olive Knits has experienced dramatic improvements in financial management:
- Clear Financial Visibility Anytime Digits’ real-time clarity eliminated the backlogs and negative surprises.
“Now I can instantly pull up what I need — whether it’s downloading a statement or checking a category. That visibility is priceless.” - Marie
- Significant Cost & Time Savings By replacing her previous bookkeeping setup, Marie saved about 70% in monthly costs and at least three hours per week. With transactions connected automatically and automated categorization learning the nuances of her business quickly, manual uploads and back-and-forths are no longer necessary.
- Intuitive AI-Driven Categorization Digits’ categorization became a standout feature. “It just learns,” Marie emphasized. “Instead of re-explaining the same transaction every month, Digits recognizes it and saves me time. It’s like having a bookkeeper who actually remembers.”
- Setting the Stage for Growth With financial clarity, Marie now feels prepared for future business milestones — like bringing in a business partner.
“Digits makes my business decisions so much easier because I can see the full financial picture instantly,” - Marie
Why Digits Stands Out ✨
Instead of juggling the complexity of QuickBooks or the ongoing demands of a private bookkeeper, Marie found Digits. It pairs automation with intelligence, giving her confidence that everything is handled—and the freedom to focus on what matters most.
“I recommend Digits to any entrepreneur who wants time savings, cost savings, and reliable clarity. Especially if you have multiple income streams, Digits is a game-changer.”
