Meet the Founder
Built by a real financial professional who understands self-employed life.
Hi, I'm Nahla, founder of Bumblebee Books and creator of The Self-Employed Lab.
I'm a Tax Strategist, Small Business Consultant, and Mortgage Broker with over 25 years of experience in the financial world.
Over the years, I've worked closely with entrepreneurs, freelancers, self-employed professionals, and small business owners — and I kept seeing the same problem again and again:
"Most financial tools were not built for the way self-employed people actually live and work."
They were too complicated, too corporate, and often left business owners confused about their numbers, their taxes, and what they could actually afford.
That's why I created Bumblebee Books.
Bumblebee Books was built as a product inside The Self-Employed Lab to give freelancers and small business owners a simpler, clearer, and more supportive way to manage their finances.
I'm also a proud mom of two lovely kids, and I'm deeply passionate about creating tools that help people build stronger businesses, create more freedom, and feel more confident about their money.
"This isn't just software. It's a solution built from real experience, real client work, and a real passion for helping the self-employed thrive."
