A Season of Gratitude and New Beginnings
We have a few important thank-yous and announcements to share!
Three Years (& Cheers) for Linda ā
Thank you to Linda for being with Breeze for three years and continually showing up with grace, kindness, and leadership. Breeze wouldnāt be where it is without you steering the ship.
When I first hired for the position meant to ātake over so I could eventually have children without interrupting business services,ā I never imagined Iād find someone Iād trust 100% with my business baby. Youāve continued to surprise and delight me with your dedication and commitment to learning.
It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows you that this partnership has grown into something newā Waystone Software - Canada . More on that later.
Four Years (& A Few Tears) for The Accounting Club ā
Thank you to all of our Accounting Club clients for growing with us, and for your understanding as we have decided to close down this venture. Thank you to our developer Mark Swann for his expertise, patience, and support as we worked to scale The Accounting Club Softwareāand for over a decade of mentorship and guidance for me personally. (Hereās to another decade to come.)
WESK Summit ā
Thank you to WESK - Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan for inviting me to speak at the Summit this fall. It was an honor to share the stage and connect with so many incredible entrepreneurs. I truly enjoyed making the topic of bookkeeping just a little more digestible and relatable.
Iām currently working on a follow-up event to that presentation: a Intuit QuickBooks Online Support Day (or Weekend)āa hands-on workshop designed to empower entrepreneurs with practical, in-person QBO support.
š Question: Where should we host this event? Suggestions welcome in the comments.
Muskoka (in Moosomin) ā
This summer, I managed to convince/bribe over a dozen friends and family members to visit the beautiful town of Moosomin, Saskatchewan, where my spouse now works as a family physician after completing his residency in Regina.
To honor our Ontario roots, Breeze has opened a Muskoka Shelf at Trends Mercantile in downtown Moosominābringing a little taste of Muskoka to the Prairies.
You can now find a selection of wonderful Muskoka-made products available locally. This has been a special project for me, as I miss living in Muskoka deeply, but Moosomin has been a truly welcoming community where weāve been able to put down roots (we even bought our first house!) and contribute to organizations like the Moosomin Visual Arts Centre and MADAC.
Featuring (so far):
Muskoka Brand Gourmet Foods Ltd.
Muskoka Roastery Coffee Co.
Muskoka Granola
North Hound Life
š¢Question: Muskoka Folks- what am I missing?
Waystone Software ā
Linda and I are now working together on a new venture: Waystone Software. Inspired by the idea of a Waystoneāa guiding beaconāwe aim to help businesses seeking clarity and direction in their software journey. Weāre still in the early stages, but weāre eager to build tools that address real pain points and bring clarity to complex business challenges.
Thank you for being part of our journey as Breeze Business Management continues to grow, adapt, and serve businesses across Canada.
