If you’re building a service-based or education business, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by tools. This page is designed to help you find what you need quickly. Whether you’re setting up your finances, launching courses, managing clients, or automating your workflows, we have you covered.

FINANCE TOOLS

From getting paid internationally to staying organized and compliant, these are the tools I recommend if you want fewer money headaches and more visibility into your numbers.

QuickBooks Online

QuickBooks Online has been worth every penny for both my business finances and my peace of mind since 2022.

WHY I USE IT:

Automatic income and expense tracking
Simple invoicing with automated reminders so you get paid faster
Clean, organized records for tax prep
At-a-glance insights into your financial health

Save 75% off your first 6 months of QuickBooks

Wise Business

Wise makes global work feel simple and has completely changed how I handle international money. It quietly protects your margins from hidden fees when getting paid by global clients or paying contractors. I use Wise alongside QuickBooks so international invoices, payments, and conversions stay clean and accurate in my books.

WHY I USE IT:

Receive international payments faster than traditional wire transfers
Avoid high banking and foreign exchange fees
Hold and manage balances in multiple currencies all in one place
Convert money at real exchange rates with full transparency

Get a free international transfer (up to $800 CAD)

INTENTIONAL VISIBILITY

MARKETING TOOLS

Marketing doesn’t have to be loud or constant to be effective. These are the tools I use to stay visible when client work, life, and energy need to come first.

OpusClip

OpusClip helps me turn long-form videos into short, shareable clips without spending hours editing or second-guessing what to post. It’s been especially useful for repurposing workshops, trainings, and recorded sessions into bite-sized content that actually gets used.

WHY I USE IT:

Automatically finds high-impact moments in longer videos
Creates short clips optimized for social platforms
Saves significant editing time
Makes repurposing feel manageable instead of overwhelming
