Key Thoughts:

  • My process and any service that I offer my clients, we follow the organize, implement, and maintain framework, and that organizes the first piece with any client where we truly dive into those foundations. Erin McGhee (8:55) 

     

  • Your chart of accounts needs to be detailed enough that you can look at them and analyze and make decisions for your business, it doesn't mean you won't have to dig down further here and there, but you should be able to look at it and make decisions. Michele (9:55) 

     

  • My goal is simple. It's to put owners in charge of their money. Erin McGhee (16:21) 

     

  • I do not ever want the owner of a company to feel like they don't own their books, you own them, period. Michele (18:03)
