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.

Can AI Double Your Revenue? One Business Did It. with Hunter Jensen
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What would it mean for your business if you could double your output without hiring a single new person?
In this episode of Getting to the Bottom Line, Stephanie sits down with Hunter Jensen, founder and CEO of Barefoot Solutions and Barefoot Labs, a digital agency specializing in artificial intelligence, data science, and digital transformation. Hunter has been building custom software and AI solutions for over 20 years, and he has a front-row seat to exactly what's happening as AI reshapes the business world.
Hunter shares a real-world example of a 25-person defense contractor that doubled the number of proposals they could respond to in a year just by implementing one AI tool. Same team. Same win rate. Potentially double the revenue. He breaks down where AI is actually moving the needle for businesses right now, how to find the right processes to automate, and why the biggest barrier to AI adoption isn't the technology at all.
If you've been curious about AI but aren't sure where to start, or if you're wondering what this technology is really going to mean for your industry in the next few years, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. Hunter also shares the warning signs that should have every business owner paying attention right now, and what to do about them before it's too late.
