Upcoming Meetings
📅 Friday, 13 March | 11:00am
Guest Speaker: Richard Cross | Budgee
Join us for our March networking meeting with Richard Cross from Budgee, a short-term cash flow forecasting platform designed to help businesses make smarter financial decisions.
Richard will share practical insights into short-term cash flow forecasting and how bookkeepers can play a key role in helping clients make confident, informed cash decisions. This session will focus on real-world application — how you can add value, strengthen client relationships, and step into more advisory-style conversations around cash flow.
As always, this is a community-focused networking session, with plenty of time to connect, share experiences, and learn from each other.
📅 Friday, 15 May | 11:00am
Guest Speaker: Gabrielle Scherrer
In May, we’ll hear from one of our members, Gabrielle Scherrer, who will share her inspiring journey from working a 9–5 job to running her own bookkeeping business full time.
Gab will talk openly about what prompted her move, the challenges she faced, what she learned along the way, and what helped her successfully transition into business ownership. This will be an honest, practical conversation designed to inspire and motivate members who are considering taking the leap — or who are in the early stages of building their own practice.
This session will combine learning, encouragement, and supportive networking within our bookkeeping community.
