Description
Our group coaching plan is for those that really want to learn!
This session is run in groups of 5-7 people. During this training, we teach you the basics that you need to know to get a handle on bookkeeping for small business.
Bookkeeping has a lot of “grey” answers. It is not always black and white. You need to be able to make decisions “on the fly” and (as humans), we learn by repetition.
This group of people will share their business details and learn through getting to know one another.
After taking one of our 3 hours sessions “Preparing for tax season” or “Small business bookkeeping”, you will receive a copy of our DIY Bookkeeping Kit that will help you get started on doing your bookkeeping.
Group coaching sessions consist of 12 weeks, with a different theme each two weeks.
- In person time will be 2 hours for each 2 week rotation
- Homework will be on your own time during the other hours in each 2 week rotation
