Tour Accounting Tools
We’ll look at Jen’s methods to efficiently handle large volumes of information including settlement sheet, settlement advance, bus driver processes, and more.
Spreadsheets
This is a lecture-style workshop with Jen's favorite spreadsheet tips and tricks. We’ll look at a variety of spreadsheets Jen created for different purposes, build a basic settlement spreadsheet live and talk about spreadsheet best practices. Even if you aren't settling shows, spreadsheets can make just about anyone's life easier, more organized and streamlined.
