Building our Entrepreneurial Ecosystem: Accounters, Bookkeepers, and Small Businesses

Two things that almost every small business owner needs to support their business are an accounting professional and a bookkeeper. We have identified a gap in the available resources to support our entrepreneurial ecosystem with a shortage of high-quality, affordable bookkeeping services for small and startup businesses. This also leads to an awesome opportunity for individuals looking to be self-employed or to have a flexible well-paid career path as a bookkeeping professional.

Hannah Grimes is excited to be hosting a solutions-focused forum to discuss the needs and ideas already being considered including:

• creating a local bookkeepers network
• training & mentoring programs for bookkeepers
• a way to connect businesses with qualified bookkeepers

Who should attend?

• CPA
• Bookkeeper
• Curious Individual interested in learning accounting or bookkeeping
• Small businesses owner

Why attend?

It is vital that our business community have access to the resources they need to build, maintain, and grow resilient businesses in our community. If you have skills to share, knowledge to drop, or are interested in how to be part of the solution – join us!

We invite you to join us in this exciting conversation to understand the current accounting and bookkeeping landscape, gain an understanding of the opportunities, and work together to brainstorm solutions and plan the next steps!
