Who is behind NextGen Academy?

NextGen Academy
Anastasija (Ana)
US GAAP · QBO · Close

Fifteen years in accounting. Ana was responsible for building the internal teams in our businesses and now creates the accounting program in NextGen Academy.

In the training, she covers the technical side: US GAAP, QuickBooks, compliance, contracts, and much more. But also, she is focusing on showing you how to serve as an advisor rather than a data-entry bookkeeper.

She teaches from the practical ongoing work she is still doing in Books at Ease.

Tony
Sales · Outreach · Positioning

Tony brings the clients to our businesses. By using LinkedIn, cold outreach, and partnerships. Seven years and 500+ clients later, he is sharing this side of the business with others. 

He teaches the exact sales system used in our businesses: messages, optimizing LinkedIn profiles, and smart outreach sequences that turned strangers 8,000 km away into paying US clients.

The outreach he teaches is the outreach still filling our own pipeline.

How Did We Get Here?

Three companies, in the order they happened. Each one taught us the piece the next one needed.

2019 · NextGen Company

Supporting US Accountants

Back-office for US accounting firms. We hired across Macedonia, opened two offices, trained 20+ accountants, and turned everything we figured out into a repeatable system.

20+ accountants · 100+ US firms

2022 · Books at Ease

Supporting SMBs

Our own US-registered firm. We learned how to find, support, and keep American clients. This taught us the part no course covers: how to actually grow the business. 

500+ US businesses served

Today · NextGen Academy

Supporting Non-US Accountants

Same skills, same playbook, packaged so the next accountants reach US clients in months, not the years it took us.

200+ trained and counting
Why we're different

We still run every business we teach from.

The businesses are still running

We didn’t step out to teach. All three companies are live, so the material updates itself. You learn how US accounting works this year, not how it worked when some curriculum was written.

Taught from live client work

Every example traces back to a real US business our team touched recently. Nothing is invented or learned from theory. 

Business owners, not presenters

Ana still reviews clients’ books. Tony still runs the sales system that brings us clients. You’re learning from the people who do this for a living. Day in, day out. 

A real way in

Sharp graduates aren’t left to figure out the rest alone. Our own company is a direct door into working with US firms.

What we believe
This region has incredible accounting talent.
The only thing missing is access
Access to knowledge, to connections, to opportunities.
We’re building the bridge
Tony & Ana
Why we built this

“Being an international bookkeeper takes skills that aren’t taught at university. They’re so important, and yet almost no one focuses on them. That’s what we share with our students.
