We understand not everyone has a strong financial background, so we've partnered with Intuit to create "A Crash Course in Small Business Finance," a limited-edition podcast series.

Whether it's understanding financial statements, managing cash flow, budgeting and forecasting, pricing strategies, funding options, tax obligations and compliance, or utilizing financial software and tools, this podcast covers it all. We aim to make financial concepts more accessible and less intimidating for first-time founders, providing practical advice and insights from experienced individuals who have faced the challenges of running a business themselves.
