Practical Bookkeeping Systems for Small Business
If bookkeeping feels like the thing you're always one step behind on, this session is built to help you set up a system that actually fits where you are. A clean, repeatable workflow with the right tools for your stage, not someone else's.
You'll leave with a steady weekly and month-end rhythm, a clear sense of what to set up first, and a routine you can actually stick to.
session II
Chris Arruda - Bright Idea
digital marketing foundations
The pieces, how they connect, and what to do first!
If your marketing feels like a pile of disconnected pieces, this session is built to help you see how it actually fits together. Your website, social media, Google Business Profile, and how you reach people directly.
You'll leave knowing what to focus on first, what to skip for now, and how to make the marketing you're already doing work harder.
