It's time to go on a date………
with your business numbers.
Monthly Money Dates is a one-hour group session on the first Wednesday of every month where we look at what actually happened in your business last month, sort out where you're headed next month, and you actually leave a numbers conversation feeling like you understand now, instead of nodding and smiling and having absolutely no idea what just happened.
First session: Wednesday 3 June, 12pm–1pm NZT. 10 spots only.
Let's be real
When did you last actually sit down with your numbers?
Not in a panic because tax is due, not a quick squiz at your bank balance at 11pm, a proper, intentional "okay, what is actually going on in my business" moment?
That's what I thought.
Most business owners are in a full-blown situationship with their finances.
Avoiding the hard conversations, checking in only when something's gone wrong, and wondering why nothing ever seems to improve.
Monthly Money Dates is the standing date your business has always needed.
Same time, first Monday, every month, no ghosting, no excuses, and no showing up and pretending everything's fine when it isn't.
What we actually do each month
Recap last month - money in, money out, what it actually means for you
Set clear goals for the month ahead so you stop winging it and start running it
Open floor for questions, ideas, sanity checks, and bouncing things around the group
Build your confidence with your numbers one month at a time so you stop feeling like a stranger in your own business
No accountant-speak. No death by spreadsheet. No leaving more confused than when you arrived.
Promise
Your First Session -
Here's What to expect
You log on at 12pm on June 3rd.
We're not doing small talk for 20 minutes, we get straight into it.
Last month's numbers, what they're telling you, and what that means for June.
Someone will ask a question they've been sitting on for months and realise they're not the only one who's been confused about it.
You'll leave at 1pm (sometimes slightly later, because the conversations get good) with actual clarity on where your business stands and what you're doing next month.
No homework, no jargon, no "we'll circle back to that." (a term I freaking HATE!)
Just an hour of finally knowing what's going on.
Hi I'm Kirsten
Your straight-talking NZ Accountant
I started Start Out Savvy because I got sick of watching business owners leave accounting meetings nodding politely while having absolutely no idea what had just been said, then going home and stressing about it at midnight instead of just asking the bloody question.
You are not dumb. You have just never had someone explain this stuff in plain English before. Monthly Money Dates is my way of changing that, one first Monday at a time.
This is for YOU if:
You know the numbers matter but you're basically allergic to looking at them
You want to actually understand your business financials without it feeling like homework
You're tired of being reactive and you're ready to feel like you're actually running your business instead of it running you
You want to be in a room with other business owners who get it, because doing this stuff alone is exhausting
One thing
And I mean this
This is a small group. Ten spots. That's it.
Not because I couldn't run it bigger, but because the whole point is that everyone in the room actually shows up, does the work, and contributes to the group.
A room full of people who are genuinely committed to their numbers is worth ten times more than a big webinar where half the people have their cameras off, are eating lunch and checking their phone.
So when you register, you're committing to showing up every first Wednesday, not just the months when it's convenient, not just when you remember, every month.
If you can't make a session, let me know in advance. That's the deal.
This is not the place for people who want to dip their toe in and fu*k about…..
It's for business owners who are genuinely done avoiding their numbers and ready to actually do something about it.

What real clients says
"Kirsten's monthly meetings with me have helped me shift from a reactive to a responsive place with my accounting, up-skill in this area of my business with bite-sized information delivered in a way I actually understand, and set clearer goals with simplified strategies to make them a reality. She's a real cheerleader."

— Rob Powell ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"From learning to use Xero properly, pricing, advice and mentoring — they are amazing."
— Nicky Eddington⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
FAQs
What if I can't make a session?
Life happens, I get it just give me a heads up beforehand. What I do ask is that missing sessions is the exception, not the habit, because the value builds over time and the group works when everyone's genuinely in it.
Do I need to have Xero?
It helps, but no, if you're on a different platform or your bookkeeping is a hot mess right now, come anyway.
Half the point is getting your systems sorted so we actually have numbers worth looking at.
What if my numbers are a disaster?
Then you're exactly who this is for. Nobody in this room is judging you, we're all starting from wherever we actually are, not wherever we wish we were.
