Book Keeping: From Overwhelm to Awareness - with Mary Faber

Today we’re focusing on your numbers and keeping on top of everything – namely your book keeping. Now if you do your book keeping yourself you’ll know how much time it takes up and how keeping on top of it all can sometimes be a challenge when you’re trying to do everything else. Ben's guest today is Mary Faber, who works with rural entrepreneurs of all kinds to help prevent that sense of overwhelm and take them from overwhelm to awareness. She does this through a virtual book keeping service and training. Mary is based 90 minutes outside of Chicago in the US. Make sure to check us out at RuralPod Media. You can follow Rural Business Focus and contact Ben on Twitter @ruralbf_pod or on Instagram @ruralbusinessfocusHave you thought about the benefits of podcasting for your business?
