The 9 most power fundamentals of finances. I know exactly where Business owners get stuck each day and in this course, we will crush the fundamentals.

The first few weeks of Accountable U will deal with the basics: understanding why it’s important to be involved in your business finances and examining your current state. We’ll set goals and expectations and finally an action plan And, because all of this can get to be too much, we’ll look into mindset techniques to help keep all this as stress-free as possible. Yes, exercise and self-care are things you should schedule into your workday! During the next few weeks, we’ll focus on my nine fundamental principles for effective, paperless DIY accounting. We’ll tackle subjects like taxes, expenses, record-keeping, scheduling, and more. You’ll learn the most efficient techniques for managing your accounts and ensuring everything is tracked and documented for when tax season rolls around.
