Hello Now What Show Listeners! I am your host, Amber Christian, Editor of Handmade Seller Magazine. Today we welcome Jacob Curtis from Curtis Accounting Solutions.
Making sure the financials for your business are working is such a crucial thing to get right to ensure the health of your business. So many of us hate this part of our business, or only deal with it when we HAVE to. But what if there was a different way to do this so it wasn’t so painful? I brought Jacob on the show to tell his story of getting into this industry, and in such a personal way. He has firsthand experience working with businesses that are having financial difficulties. And he helped them find their way to creating manageable thriving businesses. All by using the profit first methodology. If you are struggling with your business or if this economy is proving challenging, check out this episode to learn more about the profit first methodology through the very real stories of small business.
