A Crash Course In Small Business Finance

For episode 4 of our five part-series, I sat down with Marine Corps Veteran and Accounting Expert, Taylor White, Co-Founder and CEO of Countbl, which provides financial management support to startups and small businesses. Day in and day out, Taylor advises his clients on best practices for managing their cash flow. Although his sweet spot is venture backable startups, Taylor also brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to more traditional small business owners as well.
