The Small Business Owner’s Dream (or Nightmare)
Ah, the sweet scent of entrepreneurship wafting through the air—like freshly brewed coffee combined with a hint of dread. If you fancy yourself a small business owner, an audacious entrepreneur, or just someone looking to distract themselves with a side hustle, buckle up! The Mill Workspace is hosting an event that may just make you question your life choices.
QuickBooks Online: The Financial Black Hole
Struggling with accounting? Fear not! The Mill Workspace proudly presents a workshop designed to unravel the mysteries of your finances—or at least try. Dubbed “Getting Started with QuickBooks Online,” this session promises to illuminate the financial darkness that looms over your business. Sponsored by the ever-reliable CRS CPAs, this comedy—sorry, I meant workshop—will be led by financial savants Wendy Butler, CPA/Shareholder, and Emily Watkins, a mere Accounting Associate. Let’s hope they have a sense of humor about it!
When, Where, and Why Am I Doing This?
Mark your calendars for Thursday, September 25, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.—a prime slot for pretending to care about your financial future! The event will be hosted in the bustling metropolis of Henry County at the fabled Paris Henry County Chamber of Commerce. Spoiler alert: it’s not Paris, France, but we can pretend.
Your Financial Literacy Lifeline
Wendy Butler, the guru of all things finance, shared her excitement about this partnership with The Mill, stating, “We are thrilled to support small business owners in mastering those enigmatic financial statements while wrestling with QuickBooks.” Just imagine them wrestling. It’s great entertainment!
The Workshop Agenda: Or “What You Need to Know to Survive”
This workshop is beginner-friendly, much like how a two-year-old is friendly with crayons—chaotic but endearing. You’ll learn how to set up QuickBooks Online, so you can finally feel like your financial life isn’t a wild game of Monopoly. Topics will cover:
- How to set up QBO for the very first time (because the first time is the best time, right?)
- A crash course in deciphering financial statements without needing a decoder ring
- Linking accounts like a pro (or at least not like a toddler trying to connect dots)
- Opening a new business account—try not to get too excited
- Starting a Chart of Accounts (it sounds thrilling, I know)
Networking: The Real Challenge
The event will feature a live presentation designed to elevate your networking skills to heart-racing levels of awkwardness. Not only will you be educated about accounting, but you’ll also get some quality face-time with fellow entrepreneurs who are just as lost as you are. What better way to bond than over your shared existential dread?
