The Challenge

Understanding the business problem.

Small business owners avoid their books because financial language feels intimidating and moralistic.

Goals

  • Turn accounting concepts into digestible modules
  • Build a brand that feels calm and clinical (in a good way)
  • Design lessons that reward return visits
  • Ship educational content ready for expansion into a course
