Melissa has brought her financial expertise to universities, artist collectives, and creative institutions up and down the East Coast. Whether online or in person, she enjoys engaging with artists and creatives of every discipline in meaningful and inspiring ways. Her presentations are made by an artist for artists. What better way to learn than from someone who has the inherent understanding of a creative mind and also the expertise of the business side of the work.

Are you part of an institution whose members would benefit from good accounting principles?
Melissa’s presentations are engaging and vibrant. They come to life with dynamic visuals, hands-on worksheets, and an atmosphere that encourages real connection. She drives conversation and strives to create community amongst the attendees in all of her workshops because most problems are not unique to one person and the solution may lie with your neighbor. Her end goal is for all participants to garner new knowledge while sharpening what you may have already known and connecting with your community; all at once.

Are you a member of an artist collective and know your fellow patrons are lost at (financial) sea?

From pricing strategies to organizing your documents for tax season – her seminars cover the essential information that will take your business from financial confusion into composed clarity.

Is bookkeeping getting you down? Perhaps you are grappling with specific aspects of your business. You are not alone. Melissa has developed a series of classes to help you get on track. From invoicing to sales tax to how to process 1099s, she’s got you covered. As a small business owner herself, she understands that sometimes you really have to Do-It-Yourself (even if you don’t want to) so she decided to share her wealth of knowledge in a dynamic way aimed at helping you do just that. Please note that classes will be offered seasonally and based on registered attendees. If you are interested in taking one, please sign up for our mailing list to learn more.
