The Importance of Knowing Your Numbers with Kendra Dancy

In our business, we often have tasks that we deem “dreadful” and tend to put on the back burner. For many creative-driven entrepreneurs, those tasks often include accounting.

In this week’s episode, I have an enlightening conversation with Kendra Dancy, owner and founder of The Blk Report about the importance of knowing your numbers, how you can use your numbers to make strategic business decisions, and when it makes sense to invest in a CFO for your business.

Episode Highlights:
[2:08] A little about Kendra’s journey
[8:20] Some shocking statistics about CPAs
[9:41] The mission behind The Blk Report
[12:46] How to use your numbers to make strategic business decision
[22:00] When is the right time to invest in a CFO?
[26:55] The Lightning Round with Kendra Dancy

I was in the beginning stages of developing my jewelry line and needed professional guidance in all aspects of launching an online business. Jacinta was able to help navigate my concepts and flesh out my ideas more fully. She has an almost inexplicable intuition which pairs with your ideas and creativity to bring forth the true essence of your work. Her team was organized, professional and delivered exceptional work as promised. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to work with her. My brand is considerably further along as a result of working with Jacinta!

Jacinta’s website, branding, and design work helps me stand out in a competitive niche. Jacinta and her team created a beautiful and professional site, with an amazing user experience. I had several integration goals for my website, and Jacinta helped me bring each and every one to life! 

"The feedback for my site has been amazing! And I’ve already booked some consults and have a few people on my waitlist!"

— Kim B.

Jacinta and her team went above and beyond my expectations of what was once just a small vision to document my personal finance journey. The Social Circle completely took my vision to a whole other level! Having a professional website has given me the confidence I didn't know I needed to showcase my talents so that I could easily apply for small business grants with confidence and successfully meet the requirements of affiliate marketing partnerships. They truly took everything I asked for and gave me 10x more. Thank you Social Circle!

"Thank you Social Circle. You not only have a happy customer, but a returning customer at that!"

Social Circle made what could have been a very stressful process frictionless and fun!

I can't even begin to count the number of compliments I've gotten on my website, and it's only been a few weeks since we've launched! Jacinta and her team were able to capture my full essence. It's professional without being stiff while simultaneously capturing my personality throughout. She was easy to work with and also taught me a ton about managing my website throughout the process. I am set up for success!
