Counting The Money

While the stress of raising money is certainly present on a day-to-day basis, it is equally frustrating to deal with processing that money. Payroll, budgeting, and taxes are all a regular part of my day, and I do not feel totally equipped to handle these issues. Today, things got much better. Through a wonderful connection, I was introduced to a talented CPA who is willing to share her skills. This will help Reach, Inc. in three important ways:

• She will ensure that we correctly file our taxes so that we remain in good standing with all relevant authorities.
• She will help me to set up accounting systems, using Quickbooks, that will allow me to handle Reach's finances quickly and efficiently.
• She will help me to set up a chart of accounts and amend our fiscal year - two steps that will help us tremendously moving forward.

All of this may seem extraordinarily boring, but it's very exciting to me. It's a source of regular stress, so I'm thrilled to have established a relationship that will guide me in addressing these intimidating issues. I am extremely grateful to the wonderfully generous individuals that made this happen.

Thanks, as always, for reading.
