Money can be a very awkward topic!
Especially in the Birth world! We all do this work to serve and love others well! We don’t do birth work to get rich, but just like anyone else, we have families to provide for!
You cannot hide from the financial side of your business! It’s a vital part of a successful business!
The clearer your view of your numbers is, the better you can make decisions for your business & in turn the better you can serve your clients!
Today on the show I chat with Loriann Kuntz - Bookkeeper & CFO for Creatives and Small Businesses!
As a Home-birth mom & Birth Enthusiast, Loriann has such a sweet heart to share her numbers knowledge with the birth community!
