Hi __,
I’m not sure if I mentioned it, but I have a colleague who provides full service, done for you, finance support for women-owned businesses and nonprofits (bookkeeping, tax prep, bill pay, invoicing, cash management, and empowerment meetings/coaching, etc.). In short, she handles finance for your business so you can maximize your time doing what you love.
I wanted to send it your way since I know you’re looking for a way to get out of the weeds of your business, but you need to have it done right.
Lindsay has a MBA and is an Enrolled Agent, and she has been supporting finance for businesses and nonprofits for over 10 years. She has also started and run multiple businesses of her own, so she really gets it. I thought you might be interested. Her success stats are solid.
All of her work is done on a flat fee basis so you never have to wonder how much it’s going to cost you. She has lots of tried and true models that give you the information you need to feel confident making big-picture decisions. The coaching piece really helps move the needle so you can actually make progress on the initiatives that mean the most to you. She keeps you in the loop about what she’s doing and why it’s important. She will even take the time to teach you how to access reports in Quickbooks Online so you don’t always have to rely on her. She’s especially helpful for organizations that are being held back by the lack of a finance skillset.
I've copied Lindsay on this email - but you can check out Numbers in Boxes here too: numbersinboxes.com.
