    1. Im thinking of starting a freelance gig to make some money and i thought bookkeeping wouldn’t be so bad, but i have zero experience so i plan to get educated first and learn before i do anything. Any websites or apps that provide free lessons and maybe some simulated hands on stuff that’ll help me?
    2. Built a financial SaaS for Latin American accountants, need advice on marketing and actually making money with it
    3. Bookkeeping in the AI era: useful tools or new headaches?

    1. Built a tool so contractor invoices stop coming back in 5 different formats — need 3-5 people to tell me if I'm solving a real problem
    2. Tired of spending my BAS money every quarter, so I'm building the fix myself.
