Getting to the Bottom Line: Helping business owners maximize revenue, profit, and cash flow
Getting to the Bottom Line is the podcast for business owners who are done guessing at their numbers. Each episode covers the topics that actually move the needle: cash flow, bookkeeping, revenue, profit margins, budgeting, financial clarity, and making smarter decisions with the money your business generates. Whether you use QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books, whether you do your own bookkeeping or work with a team, this podcast meets you where you are.
Stephanie Smith and her husband, Kris, are bookkeepers and outsourced CFOs running New Light Financial Solutions together as a team. Together, they help small business owners get their books in order, understand what their numbers are telling them, and build a path toward the goals that actually matter. Stephanie & Kris are QuickBooks Online ProAdvisors and Zoho Finance Partners. They work with business owners across the country on everything from DIY bookkeeping support to done-for-you monthly bookkeeping and full CFO advisory services.
