Is Your Hard Work Paying Off? Build a Financial Strategy That Works

You’re working hard. You’re showing up. You’re growing your business.
But the real question is… is it actually paying off?

This Built By Her event is designed to help you step back, get clear on your numbers, and build a financial strategy that supports real growth, not just busyness.

We’re excited to welcome Hannah Matthews, Head of Assurance & Accounts at Optimum, for an honest, practical session that will change how you think about your business finances.

This isn’t about spreadsheets or complicated finance jargon.

It’s about understanding:

• What you’re actually working towards
• What your business needs to be generating
• And how to work backwards to make it happen

Because growth doesn’t happen by chance. It comes from clarity, structure, and knowing your numbers.

✨ Setting clear financial goals (and what they should really look like)
✨ Working backwards from your end goal to define monthly, quarterly and yearly targets
✨ Understanding what your business needs to generate to support your lifestyle
✨ The most common financial gaps business owners face
✨ How to feel more confident and in control of your numbers

Hannah works closely with business owners and audit teams to deliver proactive, clear financial guidance, while managing a portfolio of clients across a range of industries.

With experience both in industry and practice, she brings a well-rounded, real-world perspective on how businesses operate and grow.

And outside of work, she’s just as impressive. From riding motorbikes since she was 12 to mastering a giraffe unicycle six feet off the ground, Hannah brings energy, personality, and a fresh perspective to the room.
