| 6/26/26 | Five Minute Friday: Automated Doesn't Mean Accurate: Shopify Tax Filing Explained | Can you trust Shopify to handle your sales tax automatically? Many boutique owners assume that once Shopify's automated sales tax filing is turned on, everything is taken care of. But automation doesn't always mean accuracy—and if something is filed incorrectly, you're still responsible. Juliet from HarQuin Boutique Bookkeeping explains the limitations of Shopify's automated filing system, including missing transactions, marketplace sales, unsupported sales channels, and why Shopify won't amend incorrect filings. Learn why reviewing your reports and understanding your numbers is still essential, even when automation is doing the work. You'll learn: Why automated sales tax filing isn't foolproof What Shopify does—and doesn't—take responsibility for Common issues that can cause inaccurate tax filings When it may be time to seek professional sales tax support Join The Boutique Hub HarQuin Boutique Bookkeeping: Website: boutiquebookkeeping.co Social Media: @boutiquebookkeeping ____________________________ Ashley Alderson: Instagram The Boutique Hub: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | TikTok | YouTube | — | ||||||

| 6/16/26 | #816: The Future of Retail Is Personal: Styling, Community & Customer Loyalty | What if your "side hustle experiment" accidentally became a multi-store franchise brand? Lindsay Rando, Bobbles & Lace, didn't set out to build a retail empire. She started with a $70 jewelry pushcart on the streets of downtown LA—and 20 years later, that same mindset evolved into 30+ boutique franchise locations built on styling, community, and real human connection. Inside this conversation, Ashley Alderson and Lindsay break down what actually drives retail success. Her story challenges everything we think we know about scaling a boutique: it's not about perfect planning, it's about repeatable experiences, leadership growth, and learning fast from every "mistake" along the way.
