Simplifying Your Business in 2021
with Claire Van Holland & Jill James
If you're an artist, you have a business. If you're new to being in business, start the year off right. If you've been in business for a while, let's find opportunities to streamline.
- Get organized - banking and bookkeeping basics & best practices
- Make it easier - ideas to automate business management tasks
- Level up - reasons to be an LLC as an artist or performer + extra reasons if you're in California
This informative and interactive 2-hour webinar is designed for artists, creatives, and cultural practitioners who want to gain business skills for a more sustainable career. A recording will be made available to those who register, but live participation is encouraged!
Claire Van Holland is a 50% left brain, right brain split and is equally creative as she is analytical. She has an extensive career building financial projections, budgets & analyses for corporate media. In 2011, she and her husband Aaron co-founded a furniture & home goods business, M.F.E.O., out of a shared love for interiors and beautiful design. After learning the operational challenges of being a small business owner, she applied her corporate finance & operational expertise to help streamline M.F.E.O. It was from this that the idea for her 2nd business, the CV Ledger, was born. Today Claire works closely with other creative based business owners, managing their numbers through accounting, bookkeeping and strategic consulting, helping them make more informed decisions using their analytics.
