Stop Winging It--Season II Ep 10: What's the value of a fractional CFO? Why you want and NEED peace of mind in your financial life.
Somewhere beyond the roles and responsibilities of a standard bookkeeper is the art and practice of making sense of all the financial movement happening in your organization. It's not general payroll or data entry, it's what can we forecast for? What's our budget to expand? Will our cash flow support our growth? What is the cost of adding more people, equipment, systems? Who do you talk to today who can be a sounding board with experience in these areas to help you make the next best financial decision possible? That's where we want to meet you and become your Wingman, so you can grow, invest and budget confidently. This Q&A answers many of the basic questions when it comes to understanding the difference between what you may be doing today and what you could be doing.

Stop Winging It: Season II Ep 9: Finding the balance between work and life. What's your motivation? The pain of discipline or the pain of regret?
In this last of the series on Work-Life-Balance, we put into perspective the reasons why it's important and what the studies say about the benefits of being "in balance." We've talked about working to live or living to work and what that looks like. How do you know when you're out of proportion in one area or another, and not just for a moment in time, but all the time? What do the experts say are the benefits of having some balance and order in your life? Tune in for a few minutes to cement what you probably already know. The question is, will you take the necessary steps to change anything or will the status quo remain the same? Remember, there is the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. What do you want to experience in your life?

Stop Winging It: Season II Episode 8: The Life part of Work-Life-Balance. What you do outside of work and why it matters.
The second part of this series is on life this week. We ask lots of questions to get you to think about what's important outside of work and why. Are you living to work or working to live? About a third of your existence is not working or sleeping--what's important to you?
Is work or life taking precident? In today's fast-paced and demanding world, achieving a balance between work and personal life has become increasingly challenging for many individuals. With the increase in technology and the rise of a 24/7 work culture, it can feel like there's no escaping the demands of work, leading to stress, burnout, and decreased productivity without losing the opportunity for growth.
