Bridgette Boucha is the founder of The Betterment Project, a financial services and strategy solution for entrepreneurs. I’ve witnessed first-hand how her soulful, skilled approach to finances has not only transformed Lori’s business, but also her money mindset.
We recently caught up to talk about how to become a next-level leader by upgrading your financial strategy. Bridgette explains what a fractional CFO is and how they can help you get a better handle on bookkeeping and financial forecasting. She also shares ways to set yourself up for success during tax season and slower revenue months.
