Small Business Coaching
With the heart of an entrepreneur and over 20 years of running my own small business, including setting up and maintaining the books for a variety of other start-ups, I have a passion for supporting the small business owner.
​
The truth is, the average small business owner does not start their business because they like the accounting aspect. Far from it! My guess is, you started your business because you love doing what you do, and you’ve figured out a way to make money off of it. That should be your focus! Unfortunately, many owners get bogged down by the bookkeeping details, or they’re just intimidated and avoid it altogether, which makes things even worse.
Any of this sound familiar?
-
No idea how to even begin tracking your business finances - do you need Quickbooks, Wave, or just a spreadsheet?
-
Not sure what you should be giving your accountant at tax time, so you give them a hodgepodge of numbers and hope they’ll make some sense out of it.
-
Not skilled with spreadsheets or software! Need someone to teach you and save you time and frustration?
-
Uncertainty around paying yourself - am I taking too much out of my business and how can I be sure what this number should be?
-
Feel like you’re never able to take any money out of your business. “I thought this business was supposed to work for me, instead of me working for it!”
-
Monthly paycheck is unreliable and variable. Feast or Famine syndrome.
-
Is my business stable? If I have an emergency, and am not able to work, will my business survive?
​
If you resonate with any of these sentiments, then you need Small Business Financial Coaching. How would it feel if, within four months, you gained control of your business numbers, knew what to expect with what was coming in and going out, you could pay yourself a regular income, and you were at peace knowing your business was financially stable? This small investment in yourself and your business will equip you with the skills needed to set you on a path of organization and control, and change the rest of your business’ financial future.
Reach out to me and let’s have a chat. Tell me a little more about your business’ needs and I will tell you how I can help. The process will be similar to personal financial coaching, but will take you even further to equip you to run your business confidently.
“For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?” Luke 14:28
"After working with Deb, I can see clearer and further than my current circumstances. I realized that making money wasn't the issue - budgeting, saving, and putting aside money for the future was my issue. I was more reactive than proactive when it came to making money. Our coaching sessions challenged me to plan and think about tomorrow, not just right now.
Being able to discuss my debt with Deb and bring everything to the forefront was humbling, but it helped me see where I made mistakes in the past regarding money and then challenged me to change.
She also helped me to discover how I was getting into a hole when it came to my business. She looked thoroughly at my income and expenses and told me exactly what I should be putting aside for taxes, emergency funds, and savings. She's the honest coach you need to get you where you need to be regarding your personal and business finances."
