Business Services for Entrepreneurs

You Started This Business to Buy Back Your Time. So Where Did It Go?

Somewhere between the bookkeeping you keep putting off, the tasks only you can do, and the vacation you keep not taking, the freedom part of owning a business went missing.

I’m Shawn Kuehn. I spent 26 years inside a family business, so I know exactly how that happens — one “I’ll just handle it myself” at a time. Work Faster Play Longer exists to reverse it, with three services that share one job: getting your business to run on systems instead of running on you.

  • Bookkeeping that shows you your real profit — no more guessing.
  • Coaching that builds the systems and delegation so the business runs without you in the middle of everything.
  • Travel planning that turns the time you get back into trips your family actually remembers.

“The goal was never a bigger business. It was a business that lets you leave at 3 PM without your phone in your hand.”

Bookkeeping Services – Profit Clarity & Peace of Mind

Here’s the test: if I asked you right now whether last month was actually profitable, could you answer without opening a spreadsheet and wincing?

Most owners can’t. Not because they’re bad at business — because nobody’s keeping the dashboard clean. Your P&L is like your car’s dashboard: most owners never look at it, so they’re driving 70 mph with their eyes closed, hoping they don’t run out of gas.

I’m a QuickBooks Advanced ProAdvisor, and my remote bookkeeping keeps your numbers accurate, current, and readable at a glance. You get clean books and clear reports every month. I get the spreadsheets. You get your evenings back.

Business Coaching – Build Systems That Scale

If the business stops when you stop, you don’t own a business — you own a job with extra paperwork.

That’s not a character flaw. It’s a systems gap, and systems gaps are fixable. My coaching finds the places where everything routes through you, then builds the processes and delegation that take you out of the middle — so the business keeps moving when you’re at school pickup, at dinner, or on a plane.

Key Services:

  • Time Audit: find exactly where your hours actually go — the leaks are never where you think.
  • Process & Systems Building: turn the things only you can do into things anyone on your team can do.
  • Delegation Framework: what to hand off, to whom, and in what order.
  • Goals & Accountability: clear milestones and regular check-ins, so plans survive contact with a busy week.
  • Owner-Level Focus: your time shifted to the decisions only the owner can make.

Here’s exactly what the outcome looks like: a business that runs on a system, and an owner who gets to be a person again.

Travel Advisor – Guilt-Free Vacations That Recharge

This is the part most business services skip: the payoff.

You’ve seen the pattern — you open a browser to plan a family trip, and two hours later you’ve got seventeen tabs, three half-finished comparisons, and a decision hangover that makes the vacation feel like more work than work. So you close the laptop. Again.

Play Longer Travel handles every detail — destination, bookings, itinerary, the restaurant your kids will still talk about next year — so the only thing on your list is showing up. And because I’m the same person who helps you build the systems back at the office, the trip isn’t a risk. It’s proof the systems work.

  • Custom Itineraries: built around your family’s ages, interests, and budget.
  • Destination Expertise: a focused portfolio of family destinations I know inside and out.
  • Bookings & Logistics: flights, hotels, activities — handled.
  • Concierge Touches: dining reservations and the local tips that make a trip feel effortless.
  • Built for Owners: flexible plans that fit around a business, not the other way around.
