A QUICK NOTE ABOUT SEATING
Seating will be limited for this event, but there will be plenty of standing room available. We’re keeping this a smaller, more intimate setting so there’s plenty of opportunity to ask questions and connect with other local business owners.
Come comfortable, bring your questions, and be ready for a casual, conversational evening.
Have a question about the back office of your business? Bring it.
Running a business comes with plenty of questions that don’t always have straightforward answers. How should your bookkeeping be set up? Are you handling payroll correctly? What should you be keeping track of for compliance? Are your financial processes actually working for your business? And when is it time to bring in additional support?
This is your opportunity to ask.
Join us for a casual, interactive Small Business Q&A with Laura, Founder and Managing Partner of Collective Finance, where you can bring your questions about the financial and administrative side of running a business.
Laura has more than 20 years of experience in the finance and accounting industry and has worked with businesses across a wide range of industries. She is a Certified Professional Bookkeeper (CPB), payroll certified, nonprofit certified, a 2025 CPB Mentor of the Year, and currently serves on the CPB Canada Board of Directors.
Whether you're trying to figure out a specific bookkeeping or payroll issue, wondering about compliance, looking at your financial processes, or simply want to understand what a properly functioning back office should look like, this is a chance to ask your questions and get practical answers.
And if you're curious about Collective Finance and what we actually do, you're welcome to ask about that too. We’re happy to explain how we support businesses with bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax, reporting, controllership, and the broader financial function.
Come with questions. Leave with answers.
This isn't a formal presentation where you sit quietly and take notes. The goal is conversation, practical advice, and giving local business owners a place to ask the questions they may not know who else to ask.
Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity. And come ready to talk business.
