Hi friend, Last week I told you what I've been up to. This week, I want to tell you what this — the thing in your inbox right now — is actually going to be. A confession first: When I sat down to plan this newsletter, I had a problem. Some of you found me on TikTok talking about financial literacy for everyday people. Some of you found me through my fractional CFO work with mission-driven organizations. Some of you are nonprofit leaders who got promoted into the top job and suddenly had to make sense of a P&L. Some of you are friends and family who clicked subscribe out of love (hi, mom). I kept asking myself: who am I writing for? For weeks, I thought I had to choose. Write for the everyday-person crowd, or write for the leaders. Talk about personal finance, or talk about organizational finance. Pick a lane. Then it hit me. You're all the same person, in different costumes. You're all accidental CFOs. You didn't sign up to be the financial decision-maker for your organization, your business, or your household. Nobody handed you a manual. Nobody pulled you aside and said "here's how a P&L works, here's how to read a budget, here's how to make money decisions without your stomach dropping." But here you are. Doing it anyway. Often without the training, the tools, or the support to feel confident in your numbers. That's who I'm writing for. Sound familiar? Hit reply and tell me. I read every one. And your story might shape what I write next.
Here's what you can expect: 📌 Real talk for accidental CFOs. For anyone who didn't go to school for finance but suddenly has to make money decisions that matter. Whether that's for a nonprofit, a small business, a side hustle, or your household budget. The numbers are different. The skills are the same. 🤖 AI + your money. What's actually changing in finance and accounting, and what's just hype. All in plain English. I'm in this conversation every day at my day job. I'll bring you the parts that matter. 👑 The CEO of your life. Because before you can run a P&L for a business, you need to run one for yourself. Personal finance reframed as executive decision-making for the most important organization you'll ever lead: you. A few logistics: I'll show up twice a month. Issues will be short enough to read with your morning coffee. I'll never sell you a course you don't need, recommend a tool I don't use, or pretend I have it all figured out. Got a question? Hit reply. It comes straight to me, and I read every one. One more thing: If this sounds like your kind of thing, stay with me. If it's not, the unsubscribe link is right there at the bottom. I'd rather have 100 readers who feel seen than 10,000 who feel sold to. Next issue, we're getting into it. I'll be sharing the three numbers every accidental CFO should know, whether you run a nonprofit, a business, or a household. Know someone who fits the 'accidental CFO' description (someone running a nonprofit, a small business, or just trying to make sense of their own money)? Send them my way.
