Are you doing your business books the hard way?

Running a business is hard enough without spending hours trying to figure out receipts, expenses, bookkeeping and payroll.
September's Schuypreneur Boot Camp is tackling the money side of running a small business with a practical introduction to QuickBooks and payroll services.

We'll talk about how QuickBooks can help you organize your business finances, what you should be keeping track of, and when a payroll service may make sense for your business.

We'll also tackle questions like:
💵 Where did the money go?
🧾 Do I really need QuickBooks?
📊 What should I be keeping track of?
👥 When do I need a payroll service?
⚠️ What payroll mistakes should I be trying to avoid?

You don't need to be an accountant. This session is for people who aren't.
