Managing finances as a freelancer can be complicated.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s time to feel more in charge, embrace good stewardship and banish financial shame.

Welcome to Taming the Financial Rollercoaster.

You know the drill: Every month, you look at your bank account and wonder how in the world you’re going to make enough to cover next month’s bills.

Sometimes the numbers look great. Other months, delayed payments and draggiest client timelines can lead to the skimpiest of bank accounts. It’s a hamster wheel that leaves you feeling like you need to re-invent the wheel every single month, without enough savings to cover your big tax bills.

Some people will tell you that this rollercoaster is just the nature of self-employment.

But there’s a better way. Managing your finances doesn’t have to feel unstable, guilt-ridden and out of control.

This month, join Jenni for a one-hour workshop focused on setting up a financial workflow that matches the ebbs and flows of your freelance income.

Money isn’t the goal. It’s the outcome of doing good work.

Re-thinking your financial strategy means coming face-to-face with the scarcity patterns surrounding you. It requires asking yourself how you want money to feel, and building a system that supports that vision. It’s not easy work but it is powerful, empowering and growth-minded.

You’ll walk out of this workshop with an understanding of:

  • How to put practical pieces in place to support the finances in your business, such as a business bank account, credit card for expenses, and running monthly payroll,

  • Choosing a business structure (like an LLC or S-Corp) to match your financial goals,

  • How to gain clarity on your monthly and quarterly revenue goals (with an eye toward taxes),

  • A new perspective on the role of money in your work.

Together, we’ll walk through a clear step-by-step checklist you can use to up-level your financial infrastructure. And you’ll be surrounded by other self-employed creatives who feel as frustrated by money as you do.

This workshop is sponsored by Lettuce, an automated tax and accounting product for solopreneurs, contractors and freelancers designed to help them unlock the value inside their businesses. Their sponsorship makes it possible for Jenni to offer this event for free. Lettuce believes that solopreneurs making $100,000 or more are typically overpaying their taxes by $15,000 each year.  Existing products and services are built for bigger businesses, are too complex and require too much manual work for independents to manage without help. Accountants rarely have expertise on taxes for independents, or the willingness to serve them well. Those who are trying to DIY their taxes know they are leaving money on the table, but don’t know how to fix it. They deserve better. And that’s where Lettuce comes in.  

Note that Jenni has taught financial structures to hundreds of clients but she is a business coach, not a CPA. If you have questions about your taxes or your personal financial situation, you should always consult an accountant or certified financial professional.

“Jenni has helped me make great strides in my business, including adopting a 4-day work week, building a more sustainable business plan that aligns with my lifestyle, rebranding my business and offerings, and navigating the financial challenges that come from working in a volatile field. I credit Jenni's teachings for much of my success and I encourage other self-employed creatives to try her coaching.”
