Know your numbers — for good.
12 weeks for the business owner who's tired of avoiding the bank account. By the end, you'll know what you can pay yourself, when you can afford to hire, and what to set aside for taxes — no accounting degree required.
No judgment. Real templates you'll keep using long after we're done. And a guide who's done your job and the accountant's.
(Client login coming next. For now, free access is included with bookkeeping sign-up.)
This is for you if:
You can run your business in your sleep — but the P&L makes your stomach drop.
You've been 'meaning to look at the numbers' for, oh, a while now.
You nod along when your accountant talks, then quietly hope it works out.
You want to know what's actually yours to pay yourself — without guessing.
You don't need to be good at math. You need someone to translate. That's the whole job.
Four phases. Twelve weeks. Fifteen minutes a week.
Each phase ends with a tool you'll keep.
Meet Your Numbers
Organize your history and meet your numbers honestly. No judgment. By the end you can read your own reports instead of bracing for them.
- 01Finance is just a language — the core words, no nodding-along.
- 02The three reports that run your business — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, in plain English.
- 03The few numbers that matter — margins, money in vs. out, what you're owed and owe.
Run Your Money
Build a simple cash flow forecast, plan your money, and price for profit. Stop guessing, start deciding.
- 04Cash is oxygen — build your 13-week cash flow forecast.
- 05Plan the money — a simple budget, and checking against it.
- 06Price like you mean it — stop undercharging.
Pay Yourself & Protect
What you can actually pay yourself, what to set aside for taxes, and how to keep your money separate from the business's.
- 07Pay yourself properly — salary + owner pay, on purpose.
- 08Taxes without panic — what to set aside, year-round.
- 09Your money vs. the business's money — separate accounts, protect your net worth.
Lead Your Numbers
Make confident calls — when to hire, when to invest — build a cushion, and lock in a 15-minute weekly money habit that sticks.
- 10Decisions by the numbers — when you can afford to hire or invest.
- 11Build a cushion — reserves and simple what-if planning.
- 12The CEO money habit — your 15-minute weekly routine.
By the end of 12 weeks, you'll be able to:
Read your P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow without flinching
Build and run a 13-week cash flow forecast
Pay yourself a real number — on purpose, not on leftovers
Know what to put aside for taxes before they're due
Price your work for profit instead of approval
Walk into any money conversation and lead it
You keep every template.

Chantal
I'm a CPA, CA, and CFO — and I built and scaled a 7-figure salon and medi-spa from the ground up. So I've sat in your chair and the accountant's.
Here's what I don't lead with on most bios: I failed grade 11 math. On paper, that should have ended any future in finance. Then I figured out that numbers aren't a test you pass or fail — they're patterns, stories, and signals. That's exactly how I'm going to teach them to you.
No jargon. No making you feel small for not knowing. Just your numbers, finally in plain English.
"Leadership was never just about information. It was always about judgment."— Chantal
The honest answers.
I'm bad at math. Will I keep up?
Yes. There's no math test here. If you can read a recipe, you can read a P&L — I just translate.
I already have a bookkeeper. Do I need this?
This doesn't replace your bookkeeper — it makes you the boss who actually understands what they send you. The two work together.
How much time per week?
About 15 minutes for the lesson, plus a short weekly money habit you'll build as you go.
Is it live or self-paced?
Self-paced, so you go at your speed and keep lifetime access.
I'm just getting started. Is it too soon?
No — the earlier you meet your numbers, the fewer expensive surprises later.
