You started a business dreaming of financial freedom & impacting lives...
But instead, you feel like you're constantly focused on bringing money in, but unsure of what your bank balance will be the next month.
Let's fix that.
I already know I need this
Let me guess..
⦿ You've tried to learn business finance, but it feels like it's all in a foreign language.
⦿ You feel like an imposter because you *should* know more about your business finances.
⦿ You don't know where to start with your business finances so you mostly just avoid it.
⦿ You worry that your business isn't set up as it should be.
⦿ Your accounting system is mainly designed to get information to your tax advisor every spring rather than to give you information to help you run more successfully.
⦿ You're working non-stop, but the only way you can gauge the success of your business is by your bank account balance.
⦿ You don't have a system in place to produce accurate complete financial statements monthly, or if you do, you don't understand what you are supposed to be doing with them.
Are you ready to finally get in control of your business finances?

Christie Varner
Hi! I'm Christie, nice to meet you! I'm a 25 year CPA & business coach. I love helping entrepreneurs and small business owners grow confident in understanding their business finances.
Financial statements tell the story of a business. You just have to know how to read the story. Once I understood that, I became passionate about teaching business owners how to produce & understand their numbers so they could read that story well.
Business finances don't have to be complicated. I use simple actionable steps and everyday words when I work alongside my clients. I created this course because I knew that every business, no matter how big or small, needs and deserves a solid financial foundation.
Your success is my goal!
In my 25+ years of working with small businesses, I have witnessed so many small business owners who are frustrated & overwhelmed when it comes to the numbers side of their business.
Whether you've been in business for years or you are just getting started, there is no way you could know how to make sense of those numbers unless someone taught you.
Well, I have some great news for you! This doesn't have to be complicated!
I KNOW that every business owner NEEDS & DESERVES the CONFIDENCE & COMPETENCE that comes from establishing a solid financial foundation.
I created this course for business owners just like YOU using SIMPLE actionable steps & REAL words!
