This Women’s Month, we skipped the motivational quotes and went straight to what really matters: helping women run their money like a boss. 💼
With insights from Fin Source Consulting, a killer community vibe thanks to Socially Gathering, and plenty of iced lattes in hand thanks to Starbucks, we unpacked the money stuff no one teaches you. It was all about Financial Foundations for Female Entrepreneurs. Hosted as a masterclass at Starbucks in Sea Point – the kind of space where caffeine meets confidence.
And trust us, the energy was strong. (So was the coffee.)
So, what went down?
We packed a lot into the session - and every bit of it was designed to help women feel more in control of their business finances, with real tools and real talk. Here’s what we unpacked:
☑️ Why managing your finances actually matters
Because ignoring your numbers is not a business strategy. We spoke about the power of knowing where your money’s coming from, where it’s going, and how to make smarter decisions with it.
☑️ Quoting vs. Invoicing (yes, there’s a difference)
We broke down what goes on each doc, when to send them, and how getting it right can speed up your cash flow and help you look seriously legit (too legit to quit?).
☑️ What counts as a business expense
Spoiler: your daily almond latte doesn’t always count. But we went deep on what’s claimable, what’s not, and how to keep track without the headache.
☑️ Tax time, without the panic
We covered key deadlines, the golden rule of being tax-ready, and how to prep throughout the year so you’re not spiraling in October.
☑️ A practical session on how to do it all in stub
Because what’s the point of learning if you can’t act on it? We opened up stub and demonstrated how easy it can really be. How to send quotes and invoices, track expenses, and feel prepped for tax - all from your smartphone.
And honestly? The room was buzzing. Full of women asking bold questions, swapping stories, and walking away with a financial fire. 🔥
More of this, please. 💁♀️💼
