### A quiet, supportive space to work on your books—with business owners who get it.
You’re running a business, not just keeping a spreadsheet. And yet… the bookkeeping still matters.
If money management keeps falling to the bottom of your to-do list, join us for a weekly meetup designed to help you get it done—with community, not pressure.
This isn’t a class or a coaching session. It’s a co-working-style check-in where you can organize your finances, ask questions, and build sustainable habits around your money—alongside other business owners.
***
### đź’ˇ What You Can Do During This Hour
âś… Reconcile your books
âś… Categorize income and expenses
âś… Create reminders or reports
âś… Ask a question (or just listen in)
âś… Start your budget from scratch
✅ Or simply stay consistent—because showing up is the win
Whether you're using Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Notion, Airtable, or pen and paper, we’ll meet you where you are.
⏱️ Drop in anytime. Stay for 30 minutes or the full hour.
***
### Why It Works
📌 Accountability drives follow-through. Business owners are 65% more likely to achieve goals with regular check-ins (Matthews, 2015).
📌 Financial consistency leads to confidence. Clear money habits reduce errors, increase profitability, and lower stress (CFPB, 2018).
📌 Community combats overwhelm. Peer-based environments reduce isolation, boost creativity, and promote sustainable financial behaviors (Spinuzzi, 2012; Weijs-Perrée et al., 2019).

### Who Should Join
This meetup is for small business owners at all stages, including:
- Real estate investors
