Bookkeeping For Business Owners Luncheon Seminar

The General Counsel, P.C. Business Academy, a program of the Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce, is designed to educate business owners on topics that one must understand to successfully operate their business!

This month's topic is:
Bookkeeping & Accounting

Speaker:  Bob Stocker, President/COO Bookkeeping Express
Topic:  Bob will provide an overview of basic bookkeeping for business owners and managers.  Bookkeeping is essential for all businesses.  Bookkeeping helps you measure what really matters.  It helps you anticipate problems before they become crises. So often small business owners complain they don't have enough money. The problem is they don't know how much they need. Small business bookkeeping captures what is happening in the business so you can make better decisions on where to invest your time and money you do have.

Maybe We're Boring

Maybe dull drives digital. 
Maybe fundamentals face us forward. 
Maybe boring is breakthrough.
Browsing Twitter this morning, I came across a very interesting article that @MarketingProfs shared, from Pete Blackshaw in the CMO Strategy section of AdvertisingAge - Marketers, Get Back to Boring.  There are a number of interesting points made in the article, but what I found most interesting was Pete Blackshaw's list of "foundational building blocks" to "get back to boring," a few of which I've picked out:
  • Trust - Blackshaw says it perfectly: "disclose, don't disguise."
  • Client Relationship Management - in the age of technology and social media, are businesses getting away from the reason they're in business?  Always strive to maintain and grow your client relationships. 
  • Listening - if we're not listening, we're not learning.
  • Leadership - there's no substitute for old-fashioned strong leadership.
There's no neon, no flashing signs, no fancy words or tricks.  Blackshaw details a trustworthy, relationship-based way for companies to get their message out, and it makes me really think about why some businesses weren't doing this in the first place...

Hello Charlotte, NC!

BookKeeping Express is expanding to Charlotte, North Carolina!

BookKeeping Express has sold more than 129 franchise territories throughout the U.S, and our next step in moving toward nationwide expansion and brand recognition is by entering the Charlotte, NC market.

BookKeeping Express is a recession-proof concept targeting small to mid-size businesses in both local communities and larger cities. Today’s successful business owners have more important things to do than bookkeeping. The time business owners spend setting up books, tracking transactions, and gathering reports for tax, inventory, or payroll, can be offloaded to a certified bookkeeper. Business owners can then sell more, spend time with existing customers, and better manage employees in the time they save. Bookkeeping Express offers the only national franchise model for outsourced bookkeeping. We are leading the industry by bringing 21st century modernization to bookkeeping and by providing a proven, turn-key business model perfectly suited for business professionals and entrepreneurs.

BookKeeping Express aims to partner with entrepreneurs who are talented and driven and who have a passion for success. If you're interested in a partnership opportunity in the greater Charlotte area, contact us today at info@bookkeepingexpress.com.
