Shop Talk is a low-pressure, monthly gathering just for merchants, makers, and small business owners who want to grow their business and connect with like-minded people. Expect real talk, not fluff - with practical advice you can actually use, no matter what stage you're at.

If your bookkeeping system currently lives in your head… a shoebox… or a slightly chaotic spreadsheet, this one’s for you. Join us for a practical, no-shame, actually-useful conversation on the basics of business bookkeeping - what you need to track, how to stay organized, and how to get your books tax-ready without the last-minute panic. We’ll cover the foundations, then open it up for Q&A so you can get answers specific to your business.

This session is led by Emily Gleich, founder of Elderberry Bookkeeping and a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor.
